Willard (Mitt) Mitt Romney Former GOP senator suggests forming a new party, calls Trump the ‘master’ of Republicans Romney: The lack of a comprehensive vaccine distribution plan is ‘inexcusable’ Trump’s push for K stimulus checks arrives to the dead end in the Senate MORE (R-Utah) criticized the federal distribution of the coronavirus vaccine on Friday, calling the lack of a comprehensive strategy “inexcusable.”
Romney called the rapid and unprecedented development of a vaccine “a tribute to the [National Institutes of Health], a [Food and Drug Administration] and for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry. “
However, he said, “unlike vaccine development, the vaccination process itself is lagging behind. It was unrealistic to assume that health professionals already burdened with COVID’s care could take on a massive vaccination program. The same is true of the claim that CVS and Walgreens are going to save the day: they don’t have excess staff available to inoculate millions of Americans. “
The senator went on to suggest a plan in which “every medical professional, retired or active, who is currently not providing assistance” is trained to administer the vaccine, with states establishing vaccination posts on their borders. A schedule can then be established based on the patient’s risk and date of birth.
“The current program is terribly behind schedule, despite the fact that it encompasses the two populations that are easiest to vaccinate: frontline workers and long-term residents,” he said. “Unless new strategies and plans are adopted, deadly delays can be exacerbated as larger and more complex populations are added. We are already late; urgent action can now help us catch up. ”
National public health officials have also expressed concern about managing the distribution of the vaccine so far.
“We would have liked to see everything go well and have 20 million doses in people today by the end of 2020, which was the projection”. Anthony Fauci
