Biden to meet with Operation Warp Speed's chief vaccine adviser this week

Operation Warp Speed’s top scientist Moncef Slaoui will meet with President-elect Joe Biden this week about the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, the researcher said Sunday.

The meeting is a critical next step in the transition process, which President Donald Trump administration delayed for weeks while falsely claiming that the election he lost was rigged.

“We haven't had any meetings yet. I know we have a meeting this coming week and we really look forward to it because actually things have been really very appropriately planned,” Slaoui said on CBS' “Face the Nation."

He pushed back, however, on Biden’s claim that there was no detailed plan for the vaccine rollout, suggesting that the "confusion" was because states are responsible for "actually delivering" the vaccine.

It looks like this plan is very similar to how the virus has been managed by the Trump admin so far, by leaving it up to the states.

So the feds will deliver loads of vaccine to the states and that's about it. It is then up to each state on how to administer the vaccine, so I would expect some states to do well and others not so well.
