Biden's criticism of vaccine rollout 'just nonsense,' Azar says

Source: Politico

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar shot back at President-elect Joe Biden on Sunday after he criticized the Trump administration's plan for rolling out a coronavirus vaccine.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Azar defended the Trump administration's vaccine plans and said distribution could begin in a matter of days pending approval by the FDA.

"We have comprehensive plans from the CDC working with 64 public health jurisdictions across the country, as our governors have laid out very detailed plans that we've worked with them on," Azar said. "We're leveraging our retail pharmacies, our hospitals, our public health departments, our community health centers."

"This is being micromanaged and controlled by the United States military, as well as our incredible private sector," he added.

deserves to have the information on what the plan is. Right now, we the public are like mushrooms -- being kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t.

This buffoon doesn't realize micromanaging is a pejorative term.
And, a good plan wouldn't have to be micromanaged. Simply followed.
