Biden is inheriting a nonexistent Covid-19 vaccine plan from Trump administration, sources say
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/biden-covid-vaccination-trump/index.html
(CNN)Newly sworn in President Joe Biden and his advisers are inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration, sources tell CNN, posing a significant challenge for the new White House.
The Biden administration has promised to try to turn the Covid-19 pandemic around and drastically speed up the pace of vaccinating Americans against the virus. But in the immediate hours following Biden being sworn into office on Wednesday, sources with direct knowledge of the new administration's Covid-related work told CNN one of the biggest shocks that the Biden team had to digest during the transition period was what they saw as a complete lack of a vaccine distribution strategy under former President Donald Trump, even weeks after multiple vaccines were approved for use in the United States.
"There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch," one source said.
Another source described the moment that it became clear the Biden administration would have to essentially start from "square one" because there simply was no plan as: "Wow, just further affirmation of complete incompetence."
...
We're going to see a lot more incompetence and lack of planning on a lot more topics as the days start to expose everything from the previous administration....

I read that this was a real concern back in December 2020...The transition team was not getting any information and they were concerned that it was because there was not actually plan.
I believe you are correct - a lot more of the incompetency of the Trump administration is going to come to light. This is what happens when you surround yourself with lapdogs instead of professionals

Re: Biden is inheriting a nonexistent Covid-19 vaccine plan from Trump administration, sources say
I agree with you both.
Now that Biden is in we are absolutely going to hear more and more info about the ineptitude of the last administration. Trump gave up on COVID last summer when he became CONSUMED with the election so it's no surprise the vaccine rollout has been nothing short of a disaster.
I hope that Biden is able to ramp things up and get us on track so that we may FINALLY get this pandemic under control. Going on a year now, over 400K dead and it's next to impossible for anyone to get the vaccine. It's unacceptable.

Are we really surprised there was no plan. That was obvious. It's probably better to start from scratch then to revamp something that the entire world knows was crap.
He needs to buy more vaccines, set up a vaccine schedule protocol and get more money to the States and fast!

Re: Biden is inheriting a nonexistent Covid-19 vaccine plan from Trump administration, sources say
Maybe we need less space force right now and more pandemic task force. Biden can take a page from his predecessor's playbook and pretend the trash fire doesn't exist and instead focus on colonizing Mars.
The level of incompetence is ASTOUNDING and there are people kicking and screaming for 4 more years of that insanity because grandpa "tells it like it is" (as if that's any qualification for running a government). He can insult a virus into submission.
Actually the more I think about it the more angry I get. ONE FCKING YEAR INTO A PANDEMIC!!! AND STILL NO PLAN, JUST PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS. NO PLAN TO GET US BACK TO NORMAL!
Wtf was assshole's operation warp speed actually doing???

Trump never "gave up" on covid because he never once took it seriously. If he couldn't insult the virus and make racial slurs about it his little brain lost interest.
And he was consumed with the election on inauguration day 2017 when he immediately started reelection rallies.

A big part of Warp Speed was to remove any individual suing a large corporation if the vaccine caused any harm. Again, focusing on the rich and powerful.

This doesnt surprise me. Obama had a plan in place in the event of a pandemic and the Trump administration dismantled the entire team. We would have been in much better shape if this had been taken seriously from the start...

I read that Obama's administration installed a pandemic task force because that had been a concern during the transition between the Bush and Obama administration. Bush and Obama had talked about the importance of focusing on those efforts should the event ever arise. Obama's admin had set up a whole playbook and an entire simulation to be discussed during the transition to the trump administration and trump's people just could not stay focused and off Twitter long enough to stay awake and pay attention. (I guess that highlights the importance of hiring experienced professionals and not your dumbasss son in law and your cousin's mailman). Then they cut the task force entirely once they took over. And here we are now. A year into a pandemic with no plan in place. I fear if this all would've happened in trump's first year would we have had to endure 4 years of pandemic without a national plan??

Re: Biden is inheriting a nonexistent Covid-19 vaccine plan from Trump administration, sources say
You are all 100% right. Add in a bunch of selfish, tantrumy "freedom fighters" who could care less that this pandemic will affect minorities and the economically disadvantaged the most, and it was the perfect storm for a disaster. We should not be leading the world in spread and deaths; we should be lighting the way. What has gone on at every level is shameful and infuriating.
And it sounds like a crazy theory, but it's been proven that the ignorance and rage driving the deniers and defies has been inflamed and stoked by foreign trolls and bots seeking to sow division and wreak havoc. Chat boards are full of trolls and bots who mean this country harm.

Well pharmaceutical companies are already liability free since 1986 but for only one of their products...vaccines. The only other way to sue anyone due to vaccine damage is in court against the government. Winning these lawsuits is extremely difficult and are rarely won. However now the government, because of the Emergency Use Act, have removed any possibility for anyone that wants to file a lawsuit because of a covid vaccine injury. Hopefully the new administration will actually go after the rich and powerful like it should have always been.

the disgusting part of all of this is that we really aren't surprised and that his supporters will claim that this is fake news.

Now they are reporting that the story isn't true. Fauci is saying there was a plan in place, maybe not a good one but they are definitely not starting from scratch.

Because someone was either trying to slam Trump or did not listen as I heard him say they are NOT starting from scratch.
Many don't watch TV or do their own research and so they believe whatever is told to them.

Trump had a plan it's just that his plan was absolute $hit which is why this vaccine rollout has been a complete disaster. As usual, he didn't really care about what happened with COVID or the vaccine because he was too busy obsessing over himself and the election.
I find it amusing that someone who NEVER posts any factual information or articles to back up her claims is telling people they "don't do their own research".

To be hung up on one piece of conflicting info in the press after being lied to for 4 years and in the dark is hilarious. We actually had a press secretary come out! And not hide!
I was just glad to SEE and HEAR from Fauci at a podium backed by his administration and hear other qualified people and you guys are going back and forth over this? Come on, man!

There are a lot of things Biden is inheriting. The worst job market any modern president has inherited.
From what I have read, the vaccine distribution was always lacking in Project Warp Speed. There was never any money allocated to the distribution of such. That is why CoVid had to be part of the Appropriations Bill that passed in Dec. 2020.
I am glad that National Security is being looked at and addressed. Those were some gaping holes that the Trump adm. let sit open.

At this point, the only thing that matters is that Biden is taking quick action to undo Trump's mess and get things done.

I doubt it though. Pharmaceutical lobby has their tentacles wrapped in government.
