Operation Warp Speed is the reason a vaccine was developed ahead of anyone’s expectations, and the operation’s success is demonstrated by the fact that the U.S. was hitting President Joe Biden’s goal of 1 million vaccines administered a day before he even took office. Biden recently expanded that goal to 1.5 million vaccines administered a day, another goal the U.S. was already on track to meet prior to any efforts from the Biden administration.
Yet, Biden administration officials claimed they inherited no vaccine distribution plan from the outgoing Trump administration. CNN recently reported anonymous Biden officials claiming they inherited “no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration.” Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond told CNN on Saturday that the “sad part is the last administration didn’t leave anything” and “didn’t leave a plan.” Biden chief of staff Ron Klain said on CNN’s “Meet the Press” that “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.”
After the first reports from anonymous officials came out, Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, refuted the claims, saying, “We certainly are not starting from scratch because there is activity going on in the distribution.”
