Nevermind that Health and Human Services nominee Xavier Becerra hasn't even been confirmed yet, CNN's Dana Bash continually badgered him to give a precise timeline on the Biden administration's plans for the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine. The State of the Union host pressed Becerra on the Biden's administration's plans to clean up the mess left for them by the Trump administration, who failed to cooperate with the Biden transition team, and left them with no plan whatsoever for a distribution strategy, other than to just toss everything to the states, just as they did from the start with their failed handling of the pandemic. Bash asked Becerra not once, but five times to give her a timeline on how long most Americans are going to have to wait before they finally get vaccinated, and as Becerra reminded her, maybe she should wait for him to actually be confirmed first before trying to pin him down as she did here. Bash asked Becerra whether Biden's goal of 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days was "ambitious enough." Becerra replied that they're "certainly going to need to do even more but before we do the ambitious part we got to get everything working together because we just spent the first question and answer talking about how what we inherited didn't work."read more
