Biden's statement was accurate.
"My predecessor failed to order enough vaccines,"
WP, 1/15/21: "Vaccine reserve was exhausted when Trump administration vowed to release it, dashing hopes of expanded access."
"failed to mobilize the effort to administer the shots,"
Politico: Trump's plan was "to get the vaccines developed and then send them to locations chosen by states. States wrote their own plans, and they were responsible for setting up places to get vaccines into Americans’ arms."
PolitiFact: Michael R. Fraser, CEO of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, asked if the Trump administration had a plan for vaccine distribution: "It is all in what you mean by plan. If you mean a tactical guidebook on how to do vaccination from A to Z, no, there is no federal plan."
Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. "The last mile of vaccine delivery was not a big part of the federal plan by design."
