The Trump administration’s COVID-19 vaccine chief, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, was asked to fact check a ridiculous remark made by Joe Biden last week. He did so by saying the president-elect is not telling the truth about his claim that the Trump administration has no vaccine rollout plan.
Biden said in Delaware, “There is no detailed plan that we’ve seen, anyway, as to how you get the vaccine out of a container, into an injection syringe, into somebody’s arm.” Dr.Slaoui was asked Sunday by CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union if that statement is correct. Slaoui didn’t hesitate to correct Biden and say that yes, of course, there is a plan. He said that the Biden transition team will be briefed on the plan this week.
Slaoui pushed back on Biden’s remarks in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday morning, arguing there is a detailed distribution plan but Biden’s transition team hasn’t yet been fully briefed.
Slaoui will be the latest top health official to meet with the Biden team as the transition gets underway. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, agreed to serve as Biden’s chief medical advisor last week and met with the incoming administration.
