Key Points

Operation Warp Speed chief advisor Dr. Moncef Slaoui, when asked whether he would be open to speaking with the Biden administration, said he would “be happy” to share information already made public but nothing confidential.
Slaoui said he has had “no contact” with the Biden transition team so far, but he doesn’t believe the lack of communication will impact the vaccine rollout.

Operation Warp Speed chief advisor Dr. Moncef Slaoui acknowledged on Sunday that has had “no contact” with the incoming Biden administration regarding the transition process and vaccine distribution plans.

Since President-elect Joe Biden won the election, President Donald Trump has refused to concede and his campaign has challenged the results of the election in court.

Despite his lack of communication with the incoming Biden administration, Slaoui said he “can’t see” the transition impacting vaccine distribution.

“We are focused on making sure that the vaccines are made available as quickly as possible and distributed as efficiently as possible, regardless of the political context that surrounds us. Of course, we would hope that the transition happens quietly and smoothly,” Slaoui told ABC. “We are concerned with anything that could derail the process. As it stands now, I can’t see that happening, but hopefully it doesn’t happen.”..........................
