Biden's HHS diverting millions of funds meant for COVID-19 vaccinations to program for unaccompanied migrant children crossing the border

The Department of Health and Human Services will reportedly take millions of dollars designated for COVID-19 vaccination efforts and divert the substantial funds to a program for sheltering unaccompanied migrant children who have entered the U.S. at the southern border.

The HHS will reallocate an additional $589 million to the agency's unaccompanied children program, some of those funds were dedicated to COVID-19 vaccinations, according to Fox News.

"HHS informed Congress that it is diverting $225 million in National Institute of Health (NIH) funding that was part of the December COVID-19 relief bill to the unaccompanied children (UAC) program, as well as $364 million in HHS funding that was passed as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP)," a congressional source told the outlet.

The report noted that $187.5 million was set aside for the Centers for Disease Control for "vaccine planning, distribution, monitoring and tracking" and an additional $25 million for "vaccine confidence activities." There was also $151 million of the diverted funds that were to go to the "Supply Chain for Vaccines, Therapeutics and Medical Supplies."

The HHS claimed that the funds being diverted to the border crisis were not planned for any ongoing vaccine efforts, and had no impact on getting Americans vaccinated.

"The Unaccompanied Children program has long relied on funding transfers to meet its mission, and this year faces the additional expense of rebuilding a decimated system while taking pandemic-related safety precautions, such as testing and social distancing," an HHS spokesperson told Fox News.

The latest reallocation of funds means that the UAC has received over $4 billion in diverted money this year alone, according to the outlet.

A report from Politico surfaced in May that said the Biden administration pulled over $2 billion that was marked for COVID-19 health resources, and sent the money to Biden's border crisis.

"The redirected funds include $850 million that Congress originally allocated to rebuild the nation's Strategic National Stockpile, the emergency medical reserve strained by the Covid-19 response," Politico reported at the time. "Another $850 million is being taken from a pot intended to help expand coronavirus testing, according to three people with knowledge of the matter."

The HHS reportedly took approximately $436 million from a "range of existing health initiatives across the department."

Politico reported that the $2.13 billion in diverted COVID-19 funds "exceeds the government's annual budget for the unaccompanied children program in each of the last two fiscal years."

The HHS's fiscal year 2022 budget for "Refugees and Unaccompanied Migrant Children" has a total budget of $4.4 billion. In the HHS budget, they are requesting "$3.3 billion for the unaccompanied children program, an increase of $2.0 billion above the FY 2021 appropriation."

"This investment rebuilds the nation's refugee infrastructure to support resettling up to 125,000 refugees in 2022, the highest number of refugees admitted to the United States in 30 years," the HHS stated.

Biden Turned Down Taliban Offer to Allow US to Control Kabul and the Airport

We now know that several top US Generals were on vacation in early August as the Taliban took control of Kabul in just hours. Biden’s senior White House staff were also prepared to take vacation the Friday before Kabul fell to the terrorist organization. Jen Psaki left messages to any reporters who tried to contact her. She was on vacation.

US intelligence officials assessed that the Afghan government would hang on for another 6 months — Instead, the country fell within days, including Kabul.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered US Embassy to leave the Kabul Embassy despite the fact that they had NOT destroyed all of the classified documents and equipment in the compound. The Taliban later took possession of the material.

And now we know that the Taliban offered to allow the United States to control Kabul and its airport — but Joe Biden turned them down.

From The Washington Post:

In a hastily arranged in-person meeting, senior U.S. military leaders in Doha – including McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command – spoke with Abdul Ghani Baradar, head of the Taliban’s political wing.

“We have a problem,” Baradar said, according to the U.S. official. “We have two options to deal with it: You [the United States military] take responsibility for securing Kabul or you have to allow us to do it.”

Throughout the day, Biden had remained resolute in his decision to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan. The collapse of the Afghan government hadn’t changed his mind.

McKenzie, aware of those orders, told Baradar that the U.S. mission was only to evacuate American citizens, Afghan allies and others at risk. The United States, he told Baradar, needed the airport to do that.

On the spot, an understanding was reached, according to two other U.S. officials: The United States could have the airport until Aug. 31. But the Taliban would control the city.

Joe Biden was given the opportunity to contol Kabul and the Airport and turned it down.

Today:

** 13 American servicemen and women are dead

** The Taliban is in control of the entire country

** The Taliban and Islamist allies hold classified documents that reportedly detail US allies in Afghanistan including their address and salary details

** Joe Biden delivered $85 billion in US military equipment to the Taliban terrorist state

** Joe Biden delivered pallets of cash to the Taliban

** US has no foothold in the country or region

** And Joe Biden, US Generals, and intel officials still have their jobs.

And now we know Joe Biden turned down control over the city and airport.

This is one of the biggest military blunders in world history. It will haunt America and the West for decades to come.
