Parsons: STL area people are cherry picking data, they are lying. They are getting their fair share. They have 50k doses available.
Reporter: But the hospitals say 49,600 of those are 2nd doses with coming appointments.
Parsons: Well, yeah.
Reporter: So aren't you cherry picking data and intentionally misleading with your 50k comment?
Parsons: No....... Also, we found out that STL County Public Health has not received their doses as we planned. So we will start sending them 3k doses per week for their mass vaccination sites.
Reporter: So the STL region was not getting all the doses there were due?
Parsons: Well no, but we thought they were.
Reporter: Sam Page has been telling you for 3 weeks they aren't getting their shipments and you now agree?
Parsons: Yes, but we didn't know they were not getting them.
Reporter: Except they told you they weren't getting them.
Parsons: Right, he told us. But we didn't check for 3 weeks. Now we checked.
