Trump ‘Did Not Do His Job’ On Vaccine Rollout, Biden Says

It’s no secret that the vaccination program was in much worse shape than my team and I anticipated. We were under the impression and had been told that we had a lot more resources than we did when we came into office. While scientists did their job in discovering vaccines in record time, my predecessor — be very blunt about it — did not do his job in getting ready for the massive challenge of vaccinating hundreds of millions of Americans. When I became president three weeks ago, America had no plan to vaccinate most of the country. It was a big mess that’s going to take time to fix, to be blunt with you. And we thought and we were led to believe there was a lot more vaccine available than there was. And when I said in the first hundred days, I guaranteed, I promised that we would get a hundred million shots in people’s arms, everybody said, “You can’t do that. That’s amazing.” Now I’m getting, “Why can’t you get more?” To get to the place where these guys legitimately always ask me is, When will we have enough vaccine to have that 300-plus-million people? We’re going to be in a position where it’s going to be, it’s not going to be by the end of the summer.
