Today’s Knox County Health Department Media Briefing here or below was interesting in that I asked Questions 1, 2 and 4. Question 2 seemed to get a rather stern reaction from Dr. Martha Buchanan. You can fast forward to 32:34 for the beginning of questions and 32:58 for the second question.
The questions I asked were:
-
When the KPD and the Pugh CPA investigations are completed and turned over to the District Attorney, will the media have the details for the citizens to know what happened to the 975 lost vaccines?
-
Many Knox County Public education employees are going to counties more than two hours away to get vaccinated because KCHD does not have vaccines and 975 have mysteriously disappeared.
What is your reaction to the loss production while these employees are gone to be vaccinated? When will KCHD begin having an adequate supply?
-
KCHD is asking for yearly rent of $68,400 for an old Food City. Knox County has Summer Place garage in downtown that could be used for a drive through, the TVA East Tower for an indoor facility. In June, July and August the high schools could be used. Why are you proposing a 12 month lease at an old Food City? Who owns the property?
