there have been other vaccines that had to be kept as cold and it did not work out well dry ice can work but if they use a dedicated fleet and logistics they should be ok

I do find it interesting that they don't trust the USPS with the vaccines but they are just fine for delivering ballots.

You're right. It will be FedEx Custom Critical and UPS Express Critical handling the shipments. These aren't regular trucks and drivers.

That's actually the all stars of world shipping.

If they wanted to lose it entirely, they'd ship it USPS.

UPS will be about 80% accurate with it.
All the vaccines handles by FedEx will end up in the drivers' garages and on the black market

UPS and Fed Ex are probably two companies that actually come through...

Most of that bs you listed is all USPS issues...

The new norm is not getting your package until its reported as stolen. Then it magically appears the next day.

Honestly, not really. At best I hope they can stabilize me and get me to actual professionals.

The vaccines are not being delivered to residential addresses. They will be delivered to pharmacies/hospitals. Yes, they are temperature dependent and will be given priority above all packages.

People bitching about Fedex are probably referring to Fedex Ground. They can be horrible. Fedex Ground and Fedex Express are two different entities. Ground drivers are contracted drivers.

I worked for both years ago as seasonal package handler while in school. They better let higher ups handle the boxes...cause I know we paid no attention to the word "fragile" when we were slammed.

Here’s a thread destroying UPS and FedEx. We have another thread destroying USPS. Just how do y’all propose that these packages be delivered?
