Newly appointed CDC director says the federal government remains in the dark about just how much Covid-19 vaccine is currently available, warning that states like New York won't be able to quickly replenish limited supplies.

that more than 20.5 million doses have been administered across the country as of Saturday— about half of what states have on hand. The vast majority of those who have been vaccinated have only received their first of the two necessary doses.found that just 11 percent of registered voters say the vaccination process has been going"very well," with 31 percent saying it is going"fairly well.

In an interview with CBS's"Face the Nation" that aired Sunday, Dr. Deborah Birx — who coordinated the Trump White House's Covid-19 response — said the former president had"no team, full-time team in the White House working on coronavirus." Xavier Becerra, Biden's nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, was asked in an interview Sunday with CNN's"State of the Union" whether the Biden team was seeking to lower expectations on vaccine distribution so that success would be viewed as a major achievement.

“Well, if the plane is diving like this, you're certainly not going to see it appear like this overnight," he said."What you're trying to do is get the plane from being like this to getting straightened out, and then going like this. In three — in 100 days, getting 100 shots out there on vaccines, 100 million shots out there in vaccines, is incredibly important. It's ambitious, it's bold, it's doable. We have to do it.

"That is our first goal, it’s not our final goal, it’s not the endpoint, it’s just a metric the American people can watch and measure how we are doing," he said.

Trump/Kushner need to account for every vaccine dose, did they divert doses for the wealthy, please investigate, smdh

So she can’t even read charts or make some calls? Wow! She was NOT a good pick to handle the pandemic!

In an interview with CBS's 'Face the Nation' that aired Sunday, Dr. Deborah Birx — who coordinated the Trump White House's Covid-19 response — said the former president had 'no team, full-time team in the White House working on coronavirus.' Previous admin give you a mess

the media needs to stop reporting fake news and they need to report the truth these things are important in the people need to know them they need to stop batching Trump and trying to push the fake impeachment taxpayers pay for this fake impeachment we need money for the virus

You need to indicate when the interview was done. Also Savannah was very rude. She can’t work a long night and be normal the next day. Being rude and aggressive doesn’t make her a good interviewer. It has happened so many times during the last year. Gets old....

Dr Fauci said days ago that reports of Biden coming in to a stagnant system were untrue. MSNBC, quit trying to blame everything on Trump.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS NOT FUNNY OR A PERFORMANCE ART? SEX CRIMES!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO IS NOT JOKING AROUND? ME, ANDREW BALLARD!!! I AM A SEX CRIME/POLICE CORRUPTION VICTIM, AND I DESERVE JUSTICE! WILL YOU HELP ME GET A FBI/FBIPhoenix/TheJusticeDept INVESTIGATION?

How many doses has new york thrown out?

What did you expect when 45 spent 0 time on a plan? Yall find them empty binders with the pandemic plan from kayleighmcenany? 📕 📘 nocovidplan

😱

Dr. Fauci has already disputed these stories about Biden walking into a non-existent system. He did this days ago.

The government is also unaware of any side effects. Libtards will take anything. Libtards all around the world holla I'm an idiot.🤷🏿‍♂️

Only a foreign asset POTUS would or could destroy the US government & economy & divide the country on racial, ideological & political lines. Donald Trump never should have been President. He only came to power bc some crooks gamed the EC against an unpopular opponent in 2016.

lol.

Biden is bungling the coronavirus response

Embarrassing that the previous administration cared so little about the sake of the country's health and potilicized it all for it's sake and left the mess behind.

Wondering how long the ones that got the first COVIDVaccination can wait on the second injection?

natcadude Thanks Trump!😒

Trump punishing Americans for not re-electing him. He is that vindictive.

STabbytosavit Anyone know where Jared is ?

Warp speed Scottie

Why can’t Pfizer and Moderna answer those questions?

Totally incomprehensible that they would do this to their own citizens.

Denial is the first sign of bullshit!

Because they sold it to millionaires.

Nice job Joe get it together man

You are in charge what do you mean you have no idea how much you have. I suggest you find that out sooner than later. I thought you had a plan!

CDCgov you need to know where it’s stored, go count it!!!!

Not good.

The governor in New York already killed over 1/2 of the senior citizens........

Why don't you call Pfizer and Moderna? Or look at the government records? Do you need to be spoon fed with a bib?

I think we need some good news right about now not pessimistic remarks. Make it happen.

You need to find out how many illegals are here they are infecting US with covid

thanks for this news

Is the OWS still in place or disbanded?

So much incompetency it’s hard to not blame the man in charge

Why doesn’t she pick up the phone to Phizer and Moderna CEO and ask them, pretty easy. She sounds so inept and overwhelmed

Don't Complain Talk to Mike Pence he was in charge of that.

Ask Pence where the vaccine is. Wasn't he the covid czar?

She better get to work and find out quickly! They promised swift control if this virus! I surely hope they didn’t lie like Fracking and getting rid of thousands of jobs

What is meant by “quickly?” Will I get my second dose February 12th? This causes me so much worry and stress, not knowing.

Just think...somewhere right now, Trump is sitting and saying “COVID, COVID, COVID, WHAT ABOUT ME?!”

All thanks to Trump

She better get to work quickly! That’s what they promised!

If anything it’s manufacturing the drug. How many locations and how much can be produced?

And this is why POTUS set the goal he did. it isn't just about numbers today and how many are getting vaccines today it's about maintaining it.
