He's the "builder" - so they threw him a bone and gave him that task - something to do that he could speak on, and appear believable in front of the public.
Ventilators are just a machine. It's the protocol they devised that killed people. So I can't fault him (or Kushner et al) for that. Warp speed is the problem, and not making SURE that doctors were free to prescribe, and that people had access to HCQ/IVM both in hospital and outpatient.
Matt Pottinger and Jared Kushner were behind the ventilator fiasco, iirc.
I agree that pharmacists should never have been alllowed to second guess and veto doctors' IVM & HCQ prescriptions.
