Vice President Kamala Harris is suggesting President Joe Biden’s administration is “starting from scratch” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Harris told Axios the Trump administration had “no stockpile” and “no national strategy or plan” for COVID-19 vaccines as the Biden administration took over.
“There was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations, we were leaving it to the states and local leaders to try and figure it out,” Harris said.
She then claimed, “In many ways, we are starting from scratch on something that’s been raging for almost an entire year.”
Watch Harris’s comments below:
Fauci, the chief medical advisor to Biden, was asked for a response to Harris’s comment that the Biden administration is practically “starting from scratch” during Tuesday’s interview on “CNN Newsroom.”
The nation’s top infectious disease expert suggested, “I believe what the vice president is referring to is what is the process of actually getting these doses into people.”

Harris also said during the Axios interview, “We are in the midst of a hurricane that is still raging, which requires us — each one of us who’s in a position of leadership — to ask constantly, ‘Are we doing enough?'”
