Trump knew how dangerous COVID was from the beginning and downplayed it

https://localnews8.com/politics/2021/01/21/biden-is-inheriting-a-nonexistent-covid-19-vaccine-plan-from-trump-administration-sources-say/Newly sworn in President Joe Biden and his advisers are inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration, sources tell CNN, posing a significant challenge for the new White House.
The Biden administration has promised to try to turn the Covid-19 pandemic around and drastically speed up the pace of vaccinating Americans against the virus. But in the immediate hours following Biden being sworn into office on Wednesday, sources with direct knowledge of the new administration’s Covid-related work told CNN one of the biggest shocks that the Biden team had to digest during the transition period was what they saw as a complete lack of a vaccine distribution strategy under former President Donald Trump, even weeks after multiple vaccines were approved for use in the United States.
“There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch,” one source said.
Another source described the moment that it became clear the Biden administration would have to essentially start from “square one” because there simply was no plan as: “Wow, just further affirmation of complete incompetence.”
The incoming White House now faces intense pressure to make good on the promises that Biden made during the campaign and the transition phase to drastically turn things around on the pandemic and conduct himself entirely differently from Trump when it comes to the virus and vaccine distribution.
Prior to Inauguration Day, some of Biden’s Covid-19 advisers had wanted to be careful not to be overly critical in public of the Trump administration’s handling of the virus and vaccine, given that the Biden transition team was already having a hard time getting critical information and cooperation from the outgoing administration, the source said.
Now that the transition of power has taken place, the Biden administration is hoping that they can quickly start to get a clearer picture of where things actually stand with vaccine distribution and administration across the country, going through something of a “fact-checking” exercise on what exactly the Trump administration had and had not done, they added.
CNN has previously reported that the Biden team’s most urgent concerns on Covid-19 include potential vaccine supply problems, coordination between federal and local governments, as well as funding, staffing and other resource needs for local governments. That is in addition to the emerging Covid variants, which the new White House — in consultation with scientists and experts — is watching warily.
Biden has made clear that slowing down the spread of Covid-19 and getting 100 million vaccine shots into Americans’ arms in his first 100 days in office are of utmost priority — goals that will shape whether Biden’s first years in office are ultimately deemed successful.
Within hours of being sworn into office, Biden signed an executive order requiring masks on all federal property, a part of his campaign promise to push for a federal mask mandate during his first 100 days in office.
“This is going to be the first of many engagements we’re going to have in here,” Biden said in his first appearance in the Oval Office as president. “I thought with the state of the nation today there’s no time to waste. Get to work immediately.”
On Biden’s first full day in office on Thursday, the White House is focusing on Covid-19 by rolling out a national strategy for getting the pandemic under control including numerous executive actions related to vaccination and testing.
Criticizing the “lack of cooperation” from the Trump administration as an “impediment” for the new administration, White House Covid coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters on Wednesday that he was still confident that the administration can meet its 100 million vaccine shots in 100 days target.
“For almost a year now, Americans could not look to the federal government for any strategy, let alone a comprehensive approach to respond to Covid,” Zients said. “And we’ve seen the tragic costs of that failure. As President Biden steps into office today … that’ll change tomorrow.”

Did I get that about right? LOL! Will you kids ever grow up and take responsibility for anything?
I posted said that Trump's administration didn't leave Biden a plan thus they didn't have a COVID vaccination plan- comprehension is a mental extension, kiddo.

And how'd that work out for the pandemic playbook Biden/Obama supposedly left for Trump? The one where they failed to replenish PPE supplies under their own plan for years.
Answer the question, @ComeLately.
The idiocy of the Left is only exceeded by their volume...
Now it’s Obama’s fault. You guys never fail to boot lick your Daddy Don.
I’m shocked to say this, PM @HHusky to get tips on how to be a better shit poster.
When did CHAZ get the Internet?
Trump had a plan to get a vaccine made. He executed it to perfection. At an FDA speed of light. He provided medical equipment to the US and the world at a rate that no other country could match, as a matter of fact he was praised by state side leftist leaders and foreign governments for doing so. No fucking way that idiot biden and his staff of nitwit lifers could ever do that. He had a plan to assist the states with all the equipment they needed to store and acquire the vaccines, which he has accomplished. The Fed supposedly laid out guidelines for states to follow when it comes to who should get the vaccine first. Unfortunately some states are fucking that up just like some did when they put the sick in with the elderly. Then along you come with an article that is slamming the outgoing President when the current one was supposed to have it solved already. He promised us he did remember?
The plan was for the states to administer. If you don't like their performance, blame your state leadership. Blaming the Fed and Trump when the vaccine is in each state is ridiculous. Do you want Trump to insert each needle too? The left has bitched all along the way even when heaven and earth was moved to make this a safer place.
Were the 'conspiracy theorists' just proven right about the "fake rescue plan" for COVID?
Did the 'science-deniers' just get confirmation that it was political after all?
The short answer to both of these questions regarding the COVID-19 'casedemic' and the fallacy of asymptomatic PCR testing is YES and YES!

For the moment they can blame the supply chain and get away with it. That won’t last though.
We’ve already seen it teased that there’s no evidence that the vaccine stops transmission. That’s gonna pick up steam. Then an anecdotal example of someone that has been vaccinated will get Covid. And the next better vaccine that will work this time will go into development to extend this nonsense.
Plans on how to deal with the Middle East.
Plans on women's vs men's sports.
Plans on how to get oil from Canada to the Gulf.
Plans on how to work towards a cleaner environment without throwing money away joining some international cult.
Plans on immigration.
Only took Biden 15 minutes to fuck them all up. Why bother leaving him any more.
