Administration admits to slower-than-desired vaccine rollout

Members of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s vaccine development initiative, admitted Wednesday the vaccine rollout process has been slower than expected.

“We agree that that number [of doses administered] is lower than we hoped for,” said Moncef Slaoui, chief science adviser for OWS. “We know that it should be better, and we’re working hard to make it better.”

Just over 2.6 million doses have been administered to healthcare workers and nursing home residents out of roughly 14 million doses that have been sent to states since Dec. 14. Trump administration officials blamed several factors for the delays, including inclement weather and holidays.

“There were a number of days that were ‘lost’ because of the holidays or snowstorms,” Slaoui told reporters Wednesday.

Face it. People do not want to take this unknown crap into their body. They never asked for any of this.

At what point do the state and local bureaucrats get pinned with responsibility for something? The Feds have done everything to research, develop, and transport the vaccines to the states. It’s time for the governors, mayors, and county supervisors to do their jobs.

Exactly. But Democrats think everything should get accomplished at the Federal level, so are blaming Trump.

Never, nor will the headlines ever place any blame for anything related to the C-virus on the states as long as Trump is president. If Biden is inaugurated, the Marxist media will make a complete flip.

How many of these states are deliberately dragging their feet? Then there is the Media-Dem Party telling everyone for the last 9 months not to trust any vaccine developed during the Trump administration and portraying it as something Trump whipped up in the White House basement with his Gilbert chemistry set left over from when he was a kid. Then there is the natural reluctance of many people to trust new vaccines.
