CNN Fact Check Finds Biden's Vaccine Claim Is False
President Joe Biden made a false claim about the media response to his plans to deliver 100 million doses of coronavirus vaccine in the first 100 days of his administration, according to a CNN fact check Friday.
Biden took office claiming that he would far outstrip the efforts of former President Donald Trump to vaccinate Americans against the virus. Part of that was his claim in December that he would achieve what he characterized as a lofty goal of 100 million Americans vaccinated in the first 100 days of his presidency.
On Thursday, Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller asked Biden if the goal was “high enough,” since “that’s basically where the U.S. is right now.”
“When I announced it you all said it wasn’t possible. Come on, give me a break, man,” Biden snapped back. “It’s a good start, a hundred million.”

But CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale said the president had it wrong.
“Biden’s claim is false; it’s not true that there was an initial media consensus that the 100 million goal was impossible. Some of the early news coverage of the goal did not even question whether it was plausible,” Dale wrote.
He noted that CNN’s own medical experts thought the goal was within reach. At the time, Dr. Sanjay Gupta called the goal “very doable,” Dale said, and medical analyst Dr. Jorge Rodriguez said it was “a realistic goal.”
Some at the time said Biden was aiming too low.
Overall, Dale wrote in the fact-check of Biden, “There might well be someone at some media outlet who did say that administering 100 million doses in 100 days was not possible. But Biden told the journalists in the State Dining Room that ‘you all said’ it was impossible, and that’s clearly not true.”
CNN reported that the White House had no official comment about Biden’s claim.
“A Biden aide said on the condition of anonymity that the President was referring to early media coverage that was skeptical about the goal, not saying the goal had been described by the media as ‘literally impossible,'” it said.
The issue of whether the goal was ever really a stretch has emerged because the U.S. is vaccinating more than 900,000 people per day under a vaccination plan developed by the Trump administration and implemented by states and localities.

(Reuters) - There was no distribution plan for the coronavirus vaccine set up by the Trump administration as the virus raged in its last months in office, new President Joe Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, said on Sunday.
"The process to distribute the vaccine, particularly outside of nursing homes and hospitals out into the community as a whole, did not really exist when we came into the White House," Klain said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Biden, a Democrat who took over from Republican President Donald Trump on Wednesday, has promised a fierce fight against the pandemic that killed 400,000 people in the United States under Trump’s watch.

but yet states have been administering the doses.. in fact NY had to DESTROY many many doses due to improper handling. The PRIORITY was the elderly..hospital workers... first responders. At least his had a plan and not just to " wait several months " like Sniffer said to do.
Last Friday, in a TV interview, Dr Fauci stated that it is incorrect to say that there was no national plan to fight COVID-19. He said that some parts of the Trump administration plan would be kept and improved upon. In other areas where there were large gaps in policy, new policies were being put in place as quickly as science and facts would allow.
