Brett Giroir, M.D., who led the Trump administration\u2019s testing effort, slammed the media and the Biden administration on Sunday for continuing to falsely suggest that the Trump administration did not have a vaccine distribution plan, specifically that the Trump administration did not have a plan to ramp up vaccine supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Giroir said that he was responding to claims that were being made on CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d which featured a segment with Jeff Zients, the Biden administration\u2019s coronavirus coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bad news is there really was no plan to ramp up the supply of those vaccines,\u201d Zients claimed. \u201cSo there wasn\u2019t enough vaccine. There were not enough vaccinators, people to actually take vaccine and turn it into vaccinations by putting needles into arms. And then third, there just were not enough places for people to get vaccinated. There was no comprehensive plan or strategy when we came into office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems that @Twitter is censoring my tweets because I am calling out the continuing lies on @60Minutes that Trump had no vaccine plan,\u201d Giroir responded on Twitter. \u201cFact is, current supply and ramp up are 99% due to Trump\u2019s #OperationWarpSpeed, including the pharmacy and #healthcenter roll-outs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd \u2018Trump\u2019s mess and non-existent\u2019 vaccine plan had already achieved a rate of #COVIDVaccination to achieve #Biden goal of 100 million doss in 100 days when Biden inaugurated,\u201d Giroir continued. \u201cI[n] fact, #OperationWarpSpeed would have had to slow down to meet that new goal!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Giroir\u2019s remarks are factually accurate according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-falsely-claims-we-didnt-have-a-vaccine-when-we-came-into-office\">Bloomberg News<\/a>, which reported in January that the Trump administration had gone over a million shots a day by the end of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>Giroir also slammed the administration over kids not being in back to school for in-person learning, warning that it would cause long-term damage to children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are children not back in #schools in Washington, California, Oregon, and Washington DC \u2013 when the science proves that #COVID19 school transmission is nearly entirely prevented with reasonable mitigation like masks and distancing?\u201d Giroir wrote. \u201cHarms to our children will be long-lasting.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why are children not back in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/schools?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#schools<\/a> in Washington, California, Oregon, and Washington DC \u2013 when the science proves that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COVID19?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COVID19<\/a> school transmission is nearly entirely prevented with reasonable mitigation like masks and distancing?
