and now it's up to strapped public health departments and individual institutions that are also dealinging number of patients who have coronavirus to now be in charge of the delivery of this vaccine. and the process of vaccinating people, the two-dose regimen, and tracking them and following the cdc guidelines. in short, it was a system built to fail, because you can't ask the same group of people who are already strapped trying to save lives to also then distribute and track the vaccination process. i think that we need better investment from the federal government to the states and a partnership on the process and delivery of these vaccines before we're going to see an increase in the vaccination rate across the country. >> i want to jump to something really quick here that you tweeted out. it is a story about the dangers of the living room spread. it was such a striking story. in this thread, you talk about a family that you know personally, describing how fast covid can spread over the span of just two weeks. you sum up the gravity of the story saying, quote, this started with a 20-

public education campaign. earlier, i spoke to dr ingrid katz, an infectious diseases expert from the harvard global health institutee ofjoe biden�*s plan. well, i think this is exactly what we need right now. this is a very standard public health plan and i think it really speaks to the fact that we've had a lack of a national strategy that this feels revolutionary at all. and that's because up until now, it has been pretty much left to the states, is that right? that's absolutely right. there has really been no federal plan to ensure that there was massive vaccine distribution that was absolutely needed. 0k, and what do you make of some of the numbers, then, that he is talking about — 100 million vaccines in his first 100 days? i think that is absolutely achievable. we have the infrastructure here in the united states to make that happen. we can boost manufacturing and we can ensure that we get massive distribution through all sorts of different ways, including travelling vans, setting up shelters and other places where people can come and get immunised quickly. and what about the supply of the actual vaccines? so
