Last week, ☭NN White House correspondent MJ Lee published a story titled “Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start ‘from scratch,’ sources say.”
It included quotes from anonymous DEMOCRAT officials saying things like “there is nothing for us to rework” and that they were starting from “square one.” Though Dr. Anthony Fauci has publicly refuted the claim, Biden officials have continued to imply it.
“The sad part is the last administration didn’t leave anything. They didn’t leave a plan,” Cedric Richmond told ☭NN on Saturday.
On Meet the Press, chief of staff Ron "KK" Klain said “the process to distribute the vaccine, particularly outside of nursing homes and hospitals out into the community as a whole, did not really exist when we came into the White House.”
Except that...
The U.S. has now hit 1 million vaccinations for four days in a row, with a rolling seven-day average of 1.2 million.
The new administration’s ability to hit its daily target immediately after the benchmark was set is evidence that they inherited a workable plan from the Trump administration, according to current and former officials.
“We provided the Biden team over 300 transition meetings, including the very first one on Warp Speed which I kicked off myself,” former Health and Human Services chief of staff Brian Harrison told National Review. “The idea that they’re walking in, having no clue what was going on, is absolutely preposterous.”
“They’re shifting blame. That’s the most polite way I could describe it. But I’ll tell you that the guys at Warp Speed were pushing the CDC really hard to basically demonstrate that the plans were more than just paper,” the official said. “They pushed them as hard as they could, but again, CDC was strident in its view that they’re the experts. They’re the ones with the relationships with the states. They’re the ones who could do this and that.”
“It’s disgraceful that the CDC is pointing its finger at Warp Speed, when CDC was the one that said that they were in charge and basically said they were the one responsible party,” he continued. “It’s passing the buck, and I just think that’s disgraceful.”

BTW,
Calipornia has consistently ranked at the bottom of U.S. states in the percentage of distributed vaccines that have been administered. The problem may be with the state’s data records.
