FACT CHECK: Joe Biden Falsely Claims Trump Had No Vaccine Distribution PlanJoel B. Pollak and Madeleine Hubbard 19 Feb 2021
CLAIM: “Just over four weeks ago, America had no real plan to vaccinate most of the country.†– President Joe Biden
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Trump had a plan that was complicated by the diverse policies of state governments.
Biden, speaking at a Pfizer manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Friday claimed that President Donald Trump had left him no plan for the distribution of coronavirus vaccines.
“My predecessor, as my mother would say, God love him, failed to order enough vaccines, failed to mobilize the effort to administer the shots, failed to set up vaccine centers. That changed the moment we took office,†Biden claimed.
President Biden is incorrect. As Former Senior Advisor to the Department of Health and Human Services John “Wolf†Wagner confirmed to Breitbart News on Friday there was a vaccine distribution plan far before Biden took office.
In fact, a key component of Operation Warp Speed had been to prepare for distribution long before anyone knew which particular vaccine (if any) would be proven effective.
Biden’s false claims echoes repeated false statements by members of his administration that they were “starting from scratch†on the vaccination effort.
