Trump has no plan for the national effort necessary to insure the vaccination of sufficient Americans to end the Covid-19 pandemic. It's almost like he planned to be gone on January 20 and doesn't give a damn what happens to Americans after that.
...the Trump administration has only planned out in detail how the vaccine will be administered to the first groups of recipients, and because of the timeline broadcast by officials like Azar, a potential public health and PR catastrophe awaits the Biden administration in its first weeks. The lack of planning and funding at the state level could boil over just as the vaccine is supposed to have become widely available, and just after Biden takes office.
There is an executable plan in place for the first 17.6 million vaccinations to health care professionals and nursing home residents, but the Trump plan beyond that is to ship the vaccine to the states and leave the rest to them. No funding or federal government resources have been made available to accomplish the actual state by state roll out of the vaccine.
But there’s no similar federal role for vaccinating the rest of the country — everyone beyond that initial 17.6 million in the Trump administration’s plan.
Rather, what the government is planning to do after these first 17 million receive their doses is ship the vaccine to the states, leaving it to them to administer. Without plans in place for vaccination or the money needed to execute those plans, the scenario sets up the possibility of conspicuous delays in the distribution effort in the opening weeks of the Biden administration.
This is what you get when an incompetent surrounds himself with ass kissing sycophants. Clearly, Trump doesn't care how many American dies of Covid-19. He is certain to blame any Covid-19 death after January 20 on Joe Biden.
