Biden speaks to the media after receiving his second dose of the Chinese Communist virus vaccine on Jan. 11.
After announcing his presidency last December, Biden laid out his three plans for fighting the epidemic in his first 100 days, including vaccinating at least 100 million people across the U.S. against the Chinese Communist virus, but in recent days he has become increasingly concerned that he will not be able to keep his promise.
Sources familiar with the matter said Biden has become increasingly frustrated with his Communist Party virus response team as he grows increasingly concerned that he will not be able to fulfill his promise to complete 100 million vaccinations within his first 100 days in office, Politico reported on Nov. 11.
Biden has criticized the group of transition officials on several occasions, in one case directly calling out the poor performance of Jeffrey Zients, the leader of his Communist Party’s virus task force, and his aides.
Zients was a senior economic adviser to former President Barack Obama and co-chair of Biden’s transition team, but as a corporate executive he has no background in the public health industry.
“They may need some more practical hands-on people with deep experience in steering business and government.” said one person who has been working with the transition team.
As of Jan. 8, only 6.7 million Americans had been vaccinated against the Chinese Communist virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Health officials warn that there are no easy solutions, especially as they grapple with a spike in deaths and hospitalizations from the CCP virus.
While some of Biden’s advisers insist it is possible to meet the promise of 100 million vaccinations, others have privately expressed great concern. Transition officials acknowledge that the team is still grappling with some of the most pressing issues.
The Biden team is preparing a series of new initiatives aimed at speeding up vaccine distribution, including mobile vaccination sites in rural areas and the creation of new federal injection sites.
Within the Biden camp, officials are pinning much of the success of their plan on whether they can convince Congress to quickly pass another relief package that includes billions of dollars for state and local governments. Biden said late last month that the incredible goal could be achieved if Congress provided the money.
However, Biden’s allies have expressed skepticism in recent weeks and warned the Biden transition team that failure to deliver on one of Biden’s first major promises could have extremely serious political consequences.
