Obama Admin Depleted Stockpile of N95 Masks, Never Restored

President Donald Trump may be right to claim that he “inherited” a system that was not ready to fight a pandemic, according to a report that the Obama administration depleted the nation’s stock of N95 masks and never restored it.

The Washington Examiner, citing Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times, reported Monday that the Obama administration used millions of N95 masks in the fight against the H1N1 virus in 2009, but did not replace them:

"The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times."

This whole blame Obama thing is getting really old. There are dozens of people, including the Health Secretary that failed to act.

Where was Trump during the last 3 years. Does it ALWAYS have to be someone else's fault????

9:38 - Really!! I agree with you about plenty of people/organizations to blame. But with all the blame Trump gets you have the nerve to even write something like "the whole blame 0bama thing is getting really old" shows you as arrogant as obama. Get a life and when covid is over move out of the basement.

10:56 AM it is not arrogance to see who is truly at fault for problems rather than blame one person. Please come up with something more creative than insinuating 9:38 is a millenial living in their parents basement if you want to refute a good point. As 10:52 stated, when Trump got rid of the pandemic response team I'm sure he consulted with his Secretary of Health, right?! At which point he should have known that this alleged shortage existed?

That’s all right. We’ll figure out who’s really responsible for this mess in November.

Never forget!!!!
The president and senators were briefed by intelligence back in January on what was coming.
Only one of the political parties were warning us, the other was in deniel.

I disagree. Don't think for one moment that there wasn't a contractor banging at the door to resupply the N95. Obama was never a good President and now the truth comes out.
