Biden: ‘There’s a Lot More that Has To Be Done’ to Distribute COVID Vaccine

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "Well, there’s a lot more that has to be done. They've clued us in on their planning, on how they plan to distribute the actual vaccine to the various states. But there is no detailed plan, that we’ve seen anyway, as to how you get the vaccine out of a container, into an injection syringe, into somebody’s arm. And it's going to be very difficult for that to be done, it's a very expensive proposition. For example, we agree with their priorities that they’ve laid out so far. I do at least. My team is looking at it, of dealing with first responders and those in nursing homes, and in home care. The first people on the list. But we also have to realize that we’re in a situation where there has to be some equity in the way this is distributed, and that requires, for example, right now, we’re in a situation where you have, you know, the leading cause of death for all Americans, this week, is Covid-19. Blacks and Latinos are three times as likely to die if they get Covid-19.”
