| Biden Vaccine Rollout - ‘It’s a mess’ | ||
| 2021-02-01 | ||
| Of course, it's all Trump fault. But I left that part out. [Politico] Joe Biden promised he’d bring in a competent, tested team to run the pandemic response, set ambitious vaccination targets and impose strict public health guidelines. Easier said than done, Joe? Whoda thunk it? His team arrived at the White House with a 200-page response plan ready to roll out. But instead, they have spent much of the last week trying to wrap their hands around the mushrooming crisis — a process officials acknowledge has been humbling, and triggered a concerted effort to temper expectations about how quickly they might get the nation back to normal. Unexpectedly, Trump didn't do what we expected! Now we have to fix his mess! Which - come to think of it - we did expect. After a week on the job, Biden’s team is still trying to locate upwards of 20 million vaccine doses that have been sent to states — a mystery that has hampered plans to speed up the national vaccination effort. They're searching for new ways to boost production of a vaccine stockpile that they've discovered is mostly empty.
Derail the speeding express train? Because the media is terrified? "It’s the Mike Tyson quote: ’Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth,’" said one person with knowledge of the vaccine effort who’s not authorized to discuss the work. So Joe has leakers, too? Interesting! It was not until after Biden was sworn in that the Covid response team discovered the system was blinded to much of the route that vaccines traveled from the government's distribution hubs to people's arms. The speeding express train must run on Joe's tracks! On Joe's schedule! Instead, once the vaccine shipments are delivered to the states, responsibility for tracking them has been left up to states’ individual public health systems. How un-central-command-control! But consistent with Trump's overall virus plan. The administration then only gets an update once the doses are actually administered and an official record is submitted. That's why CDC records lag behind contemporaneous web sites. Joe's team really didn't see that one coming? "I think they were really caught off guard by that," said one adviser. "It’s a mess."

| #3 Poor, stupid red states have distributed close to 100% of the vaccine doses delivered to them. Rich, smart blue states have overplanned, let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and had to dispose of a lot more doses. |

| #2 Biden’s team only had about 300 meetings and briefings with Trumps team. I guess that wasn’t enough |

| #1 Biden’s team should have met with Trumps Covid team. |
