That delayed handoff is especially problematic during a public health crisis, the government’s top infectious disease expert said. “Of course it would be better if we could start working with them,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who has been through multiple presidential transitions during 36 years of government service. He likened the process to runners passing on the baton in a relay race. “You don’t want to stop and then give it to somebody,” he said. “You want to just essentially keep going.” The president-elect’s outreach to the vaccine manufacturers comes as the coronavirus pandemic in the United States has entered perhaps its most dangerous phase. The seven-day rolling average for new daily cases stood at 145,400 on Saturday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That means the U.S. is adding about 1 million new cases a week, and deaths averaged 820 a day as of Saturday, a 33% increase in just two weeks. “We’re going to start those consultations this week,” said Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, citing Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies. Why should Fauci stop? You think Biden will get the vaccine out faster than Trump? Bull****. -- Freedom Isn't Free! Neither Trump nor Biden are in charge of getting the vaccine out, if you mean by that, ready for use by the public outside of testing. But Biden's team is developing what Trump never bothered with...a rational, workable, science-based plan to distribute the vaccine(s) and whatever else is needed across the country. Trump has given up on the presidency and leadership on this and other issues, if he ever was involved in anything beyond denial. Just remember to not wash your Chinese-made red MAGA hat with your white Klan robe and hood suit, else you have to attend your meetings in pink. -- *Lock Trump Up!* |
