Critics on Twitter claim the data is incorrect despite its origin in official government statistics. This denial is attributed to a marketing mechanism designed to maintain public anxiety in favor of future vaccine distribution and political opposition to Donald Trump.

Many projects on the dashboard reportedly show zero dollars in spending due to incomplete data reporting.
