Operation Warp Speed Coverage

One day after former President Donald Trump urged Americans to "go get your shot," the New York Times reported that he and first lady Melania Trump had quietly received their own COVID-19 vaccines on their way out of the White House in January. The news rankled MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, who criticized Trump as having failed to promote the vaccines during his time in the White House.

<p>Well, I wanted to ask about this. Um, the reduction. Why did it take from Wednesday until Friday night for clarity to come as to why the numbers were based on vaccine that hadn't gone through the full process yet. So it didn't It didn't take that long. We realized, quite frankly, the next day, because governors and their staffs were alert on calling us. And so what we have to do is do some forensics On what the disconnection waas. So in simple terms, we allocated vaccines on Tuesday night. That was a change. We originally allocating vaccines on Friday. But governors had asked in lessons learned that would help benefit them and their planning. If we move. That left So absolutely so we moved it left. We put allocations in place on Tuesday night. What had been out previously? The Tuesday night allocations was a forecasted worksheet that laid out what we thought might be possible in eventual distribution. That she was out because I want people to get ahead of the problem and work through it. But at the end of the day, when I snapped the chalk line on Tuesday and approved the allocations based on releasable Dosages. There was a difference between the worksheet and what I approved to go into Tiberius Calls came in immediately. The second day Aziz, we were working through, You know, the process of the difference between forecasts and actual allocation on. We worked with governors, their staffs. I briefed several, made several phone calls myself to talk to governors, had a great phone call with the governor of Washington, Governor Endsley. I really appreciated his time that he allowed me to walk him through the process. Very grateful. I was able to also talk Thio Senator Reid up up on the on the hill and walk him through the process. There was many other phone calls that were made by the staff out. Too many teams toe help facilitate this conversation. At the end of the day again, I accept responsibility for the miscommunication. We're learning our strategy waas to push the first major pushes from Pfizer and Moderna stocks that we had, uh, you know, stacked up and we're ready to go on an initial push after EU a relatively easy. We had very good plans that have been worked through from the States all the way through O. W s CDC down to our industry partners. The key was transitioning into a regular cadence of available vaccine dosage so that we can just keep moving. We don't want to pause and then collect vaccines and then distribute a week or two weeks later. We just want a continuous flow of vaccines out to the American people every day, extending availability tomb. Or in order to do that, we have to forecast and then we have to eventually figure out what is available again. I take responsibility. I'm learning that Aziz we go. It looked very good on paper. Paper plans are very good. Execution is where we learn and we adapted accordingly. Operator Next question. The next question comes from John Tozzi from Bloomberg. Your line is open. Hi, Thanks so much for taking my question. Can you tell us a little bit more about the sort of a difference between when, uh, that can be manufactured? And when their release and how many of the fighter doses coming out of production don't pass the quality assurance or other checks that actually make them reasonable? So I don't know the exact details on that. We will go into that for you and get you a better answer and timing and collaboration on that. I tell you, it's a very, uh, rigorous process. And the FDA does a fantastic job doing that. There is a delay between what is available and what is releasable because we're talking about hundreds of thousands of millions of doses that we want to make sure our right to this date. To the best of my knowledge, there has been zero, um, problem with the Pfizer vaccines, you know, from going from manufactured to releasable it is just about the process that you have to you have to go through to get to releasable, Alright, operator. Next question. Thank you. The next question comes from Rachel Rubaie in Your line is open. Hi, this is Rachel. Rubin was critical. Thanks for taking my question. Um, this is sort of in the similar vein, but when the doses were not release a ble, it sounds like one. Were you originally counting all the doses and not the ones that were releasable and to Was it that Spizer hadn't yet then the doses to FDA to kind of get FDA A's stamp of approval or was it that FDA was still working on giving the stamp of approval to make the doses releasable Okay, So there is a standardized cadence of approval for vaccines. When they go from the completion of Phil finish to releasable, Where I failed, I failed. Nobody else failed. Is toe have a clear understanding off that cadence? So when I applied it into our forecast methodology and are planning with states, we realized I realized that there was a delta to the numbers that I personally thought were available and ready for distribution. And what was releasable I can't say it any better than that. It was my fault. I gave guidance. I am the one that approved the forecast sheets. I am the one that approved the allocations, right? There is no problem with the process. There is no problem with the Pfizer vaccine. There is no problem with the modern A vaccine, right? It was a planning error, and I am responsible on I don't really know how to say it any clearer than that we're learning from it. We're trying to get better because at the end of the day it is about facilitating the most available vaccine doses out that air releasable out to the American people. Operator, Next question. Thank you. The next question is from Karen Stacey, your line is open. Hi, this is Karen Stacy from the Financial Times. Could you just explain a little bit? About what? The what? Your air awas Particularly there is it that you didn't realize that this extra approval process had toe happen to make these doses? Releasable or you just thought it would take less time to do a combination of everything, right? No, this has never been done right in our history. Normal vaccines, right? Let's just take influenza as example, right? The country gives the orders. Thio industry industry spends the next six months developing and producing and proving that vaccine for distribution and then it's distributed in a timely manner. What we have done is to take the process that is well regulated on standards highly enforced on we've converted it into execution for covert 19 vaccine, which is as the vaccine is developed. We're pushing it out to the American people. A simple course of action, but a totally in my opinion, uh, inappropriate and unethical. Uh, decision would have been to Stockpile Cove in 19 vaccine walked through all the process that is normal, right? Wait for toe all be approved and releasable, and then distributed 34 months from now. So the mist ake I made is not understanding with exactness again, my responsibility on all the steps that have to occur to make sure the vaccine is, releasable At the end of the day, Here's what I think about, uh, will my mother have a safe and effective vaccine, right? Will the American people have a safe and effective vaccine? I failed. I am adjusting. I am fixing, and we will move forward from there. Over. Operator. Next question. The next question comes from Meg. Peril from CNBC or line is open. Hi, I'm wondering if Operation Warp speed has projections As Mawr vaccine supply becomes available over the week, is there? You know? Ah, limit at any point that you've been told just from all the communications with the states as to how many vaccinations can be performed in this country per week. You know, at any point, you kind of have to say, Well, we've got more supply than we can actually shift because we just can't perform or vaccinations. What is that limit per week? Yeah, so we're not there yet. And my sense Based on the on the on what we project we're going to receive over the next few months, we're not gonna reach that limit. I think the key is access to the vaccine to the most, uh, places throughout America. We we are calling them providers, and we have over 50,000 providers that air enrolled across the country visualized them from everywhere from hospitals, doctors, offices, pharmacies, pharmacy chains, etcetera on. We think that that quantity and the distribution of the vaccine will provide everybody in America the access to the vaccine when the supply is available. So I don't see us reaching a point Where will be constrained where supply will overrun capability and capacity to a minister. But we'll manage and we'll work that as we go forward. Operator. Next question. Next question is from Jill Colgan from the A P. Your line is open. Thank you so much for doing this call. I just don't wanna hammer this point. But I was just hoping that you could explain very simple layman's terms that anyone can understand exactly what needs to happen to make doses release a ble. And also, I think you made a reference there to second dose availability. Did that play any role in this process? So all the answer, the ladder and yes, second dose availability is key for us. The strategy is that we release first doses. When we have second doses on hand on we have confidence that the releasable doses will meet that requirement. Uh, I am not going to spend any more time talking about, uh, the details in between, you know, feel finished and releasable, Thank you, Operator. Next question. The next question is from Eric Kulish. Please state your media outlet. Your line is open. Yes, Thank you. Air Kulish Freight waves. Um, wondering if you've noted had any more temperature excursions like before trays that you talked about earlier in the week. And if you've ever refuse, analyzed and found out what what happened with those and why is going thio 80 or 90 degrees? Uh, even colder a problem. So, no, we've had no more than what I've talked to you about. And we've run the checks fighters run the checks on, collaborated with the FDA, and going down below. Minus 82. These excursions were minus 90 to have no effect on the vaccine. But they wanted to make sure on they wanted to make sure not only the vaccine remains safe, but also the vial containing the vaccine. You know, the seal etcetera was still appropriate. That's been approved. And there's no issues with that. The vaccine as they're theorizing and we're not there yet because we don't have enough situations toe really, truly validate. But as you know, the vaccine travels right in the air, etcetera. The dry ice shifts, etcetera. The temperature fluctuates into a colder, colder temperature. Poor choice of words apologize on. Hence the minus 92. The key of this is the diligence on the professionalism and the immediacy which Pfizer reacted, Uh, in combination with FedEx and UPS. Remarkable ability to see themselves right, Take control. Uh, quarantine, return and replace the vaccine was just spectacular in my hand. My I applaud everybody involved in that operator. We have time for one last question. The last question comes from Sarah Murray from CNN. Your line is open. Um, hi. Thank you very much for doing the call. Um, there's given the way the cadence has gone so far with the Pfizer vaccine and just curious. What gives you guys the confidence that you'll be able Thio reach the It was going except for yourself for the end of the year. So I think, you know, we've done a lot of work, right. A lot of planning on this, a lot of collaboration from the CDC experts through commercial industry, both the manufacturers on those that are distributing a Sfar and as well as working with states on final administration, A. ZAY said earlier. It is a plan. It is a plan that we've rehearsed many times, Uh, but the end of the day, it's when things go into action that we figure out if there's something not right based on everything I know right now, I feel confident that will have the allocations of 20 million by the end of the month and that we will be literally finishing distribution of that 20 million by the inside the first week of January. Uh, now, right operator, that's all the time we have today. Please send any follow up questions to our press office at media at HHS dot gov</p>

Dr. John Fleming, assistant to President Trump for planning and implementation, discusses Operation Warp Speed's coronavirus vaccine distribution plans.

We're joined now by Dr John Fleming, assistant to the president for planning and implementation of Operation Warp Speed. Dr. Fleming, thanks for being with us. Thanks, David. Great to be with you. Now that we're into the distribution phase of a vaccine, people want to know specifically when they will know a specific timeline for receiving the vaccine. Right. Well, David, as you probably know and following, uh, doses the Pfizer vaccine are already, uh, have have left the station, so to speak, being distributed throughout the country. And I'm very happy to let you know that North Carolina is either has received part of or is in the process of receiving 85,000 doses for the first injection to be followed in 21 days by a second, 85,000 doses. So we're very excited for North Carolinians, you know, also today, Pfizer saying that they have millions of doses and a warehouse waiting for instructions on where to send them. Uh, rolling out something this massive can't be done with the flip of a switch. Even so, when we hear something like that, it begs the question. What's the holdup? Uh, well, David, uh, you know, We've been saying for months now that while we're testing this vaccine and other vaccine candidates on tens of thousands of subjects, we've been producing it. So the fact that at the moment that the EU a what a decision was made by F d. A. We already had around 40 million doses ready to go, and the supply chain has already been worked out. As you know, it has to be kept in ultra cold storage. We're working with our friends, uh, at UPS and FedEx and others. Uh, the army is involved in this General Purna. So all this has been worked out in the moment that EU A was approved. Those trucks began rolling. But it does take a little time to get all of this out. And you're already seeing on TV many health care workers and elderly people who are in long term care facilities receiving their inoculation. So we're very, very excited here at the White House just how well this is going, Dr Fleming, Some people do tell us here in North Carolina, and I think this is the case around the country. They are reluctant to receive this vaccine because they learned about how safe it is. Could you put the risk into context for us? I'd love to. David. Um, I am not aware. Uh, there is any vaccine that has been tested on his many subjects, as this one has. Typically, a vaccine is tested on 5 10,000 subjects. Um, with with Pfizer and Madonna and J and J and others, They're testing them onto anywhere from 20 to 40,000 subjects. And the reason they're able Thio to do it on so many people is because it's such a widespread pandemic. Ah, lot of people, unfortunately, are getting this infection, so that means they can ramp. They're testing up very rapidly. And the safety record is tremendous. So it has a tremendous history, even in a very short period of time. And again, I would remind people look at all of the other epidemics over the decades that we have brought Teoh a complete cessation such as polio, measles, two different kinds of meningitis. I myself have seen people die. Young Children, age two, dying of meningitis. We just don't see that anymore. And it's because of vaccines like this that this is possible. You know, Dr Fleming. I'll wrap up by saying this. The name Operation warp speed rang true as far as getting the vaccines to the marketplace. But we as humans want warp speed in making it. The cessation happened right now we understand that it has to take time. We appreciate your time this afternoon and hopefully people will not let their guards down now that the vaccine is beginning to come to the marketplace. So true, David. I'm a physician myself. The first opportunity I have, I'm going to get the vaccine. Vice President Pence will be getting it tomorrow on television. And so I encourage everyone to get this vaccine when appropriate for you and your situation in life. And we can end this pandemic in just a few months. When it's my turn, I'll be there. Dr. Fleming, Thanks for your time. Thanks to you

Warp Speed official says vaccine distribution proceeding as planned

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense held a briefing Monday on "Operation Warp Speed" and COVID-19 vaccine distribution. 

National update on COVID-19 vaccine distribution 

President Donald Trump delivers remarks on the progress of Operation Warp Speed, the federal government's coronavirus vaccine development program.

you told the American people that we would have a vaccine before the end of the year and some scoffed at that time table but vaccine by the end of this year. Is that possible? In your view, O Brien, you know what's another day of POTUS in Wonderland? Here it is. Preposterous. Could be January. Could be later. We don't know the whole process. Take a Here it is. They're certainly not gonna be ready to start poking people in the arms real soon. I still think 12 to 18 months is an aggressive schedule. I think it's gonna take longer than that. There's no prospect that there's gonna be a vaccine available for the majority of American people before the middle of next. It is impossible to get that done by the end of the year. Operation Warp speed is unequaled on unrivaled anywhere in the world. Single greatest mobilization in U. S. History. Pioneering developing and manufacturing therapies and vaccines in record time. Operation Warp speed is doing something that's never been done before History. First, Americans will get shots and arms in the second. That's incredible, Elizabeth. The timeline has just been jaw dropping. We were able to an empowered to make alot right calls and decisions. This is a rather moment because it is true. This is warp speed. Warp speed is being run a non political way in a way we could be proud of. We believe we're gonna have people getting vaccinated the people before Christmas this year. It's just of in the history. Helpless accomplish. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Thank you very much. Much, please. Thank you very much. Appreciate it very much. I'm honored to welcome doctors, scientists, industry executives and state and local leaders to our historic operation Warp speed vaccine Summit. It's been some journey for all of us. It's been an incredible success. We're grateful to be joined by Vice President Mike Pence, who has done and absolutely incredible job on the coronavirus task force. Mike. Thank you. Stand up, Mike way. We're here to discuss a monumental national achievement. From the instant the coronavirus invaded our shores, we raced into action to develop a safe and effective vaccine at breakneck speed. It would normally take five years, six years, seven years or even more. In order to achieve this goal. We harness the full power of government, the genius of American scientists and the might of American industry to save millions and millions of lives all over the world. We're just days away from authorization from the FDA, and we're pushing them heart, at which point we will immediately begin mass distribution before Operation Warp speed, the typical time frame for development. That approval, as you know, could be infinity. And we were very, very happy that we were able to get things done at a level that nobody has ever seen before. The gold standard vaccine has been done in less than nine months. On behalf of the entire nation. I want to thank everyone here today who has been involved in this extraordinary American initiative. I also want to recognize members of my administration who have worked tirelessly in this effort. Alex Cesar, please. Alex, Where's Alex? Thank you, Alex. Great job, Born Chef Slowey, Where are you, Monster? Thank you very much. Great job. A man who is now going to be very important, General Gus partner. I have no doubt about it. Right? Logistics? Jared Kushner's worked so hard. Where's Jared? Jared? Wherever you may be. Thank you. Thank you. Jarrett. Dr. Debra Berks. Deborah. Thank you very much. Debra. Admiral Bret! Guar. Where is spread? Great job You've been doing breath Surgeon General Jerome Adams. Jerome. Thank you very much. Terrific. Dr. Robert Redfield. Robert. Thank you very much. You shared it. Administrator Seema Verma. Seema. Thank you, Dr Peter Marks. Peter, Let's thank you. Paul Mango, Adam Bowler and Brad Smith. Thank you very much. Great job. Thank you all very much. Incredible job and many others. Also many, many others. We're also grateful to be joined by governors. Greg Abbott. That is correct, Billy Pill. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Bill. Rhonda Santa's Ron. Thank you, Ron. Thank you. Thank you very much. Great job. Ron and John Bel Edwards. John Bell. Thank you. Thank you, John. Thank you very much. As well as Senator John Barrasso, who is a fantastic doctor also, by the way I have to say, Wayne, I need info on that subject. I called up John. Thank you, John. Very much. Senator Steve Daines. Congratulations on a great win. Great way. That was easier than you thought. It turned out right. It was a little easier than you thought. Great going. We're proud of you, Congressman Greg Walden. Greg, thank you very much. Thank you very much. And Congressman Brad went strip. Thank you, Brad. On many, many others, my administration provided a total $14 billion to accelerate vaccine development and to manufacture all of the top candidates in advance long in advance. As a result of this unprecedented investment, we are exceedingly proud that both Pfizer and Moderna have announced that their vaccines air approximately 95% effective, which is a number that nobody expected to be able to get Thio far exceeding anything that really we that anybody thought we went out and we said, What do you think a maximum would be? And I think doctors we all came up to the conclusion that something like that would be really incredible. We have other candidates looking right now. We have some big ones who are going to be announcing very soon. We have some companies, great great companies out there. You all know about Johnson and Johnson and and others, and they're all coming in and they're coming in very quickly. We expect to have some news on that very shortly. and we have worked very well with the company's. But if for any reason we have any problems, we will be instituting the Defense Production Act and we will make sure that we don't have any problems for very long. We've instituted it before. Two additional Cos. AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson. A zoo. You know, the Johnson and Johnson is a one dose, one shot vaccine, so we're going to see how that works. That would be very helpful if that all came out, and I think it probably will. Also, they're showing tremendous, tremendous promise, all of them. Tremendous problem. We're, uh we're very hopeful that the FDA will authorize the Pfizer vaccine within days. We gotta get it moving and Madonna vaccine Almost immediately thereafter, large numbers of tests and samples have been done, so hopefully that will go very quickly. If authorized, tens of millions of vaccine doses will be available this month. Then we'll get it distributed very quickly. We have that all set, and hundreds of millions more will quickly follow. Every American who wants the vaccine will be able to get the vaccine, and we think by spring we're gonna be in a position that nobody would have believed possible just a few months ago. Yeah, amazing, really. I mean, they say it's they say it's somewhat of a miracle, and I think that's true. The plan we put forward prioritizes the elderly and patients with underlying conditions, as well as health care workers and first responders. The ultimate decision rests with the governors of the various states, and I hope the governors make wise decisions. Who will decide where the vaccines will go in their state and who will get them first. We urge the governors to put America seniors first, and also, I think, those who work with seniors, which obviously you gonna have to do that. I think they have to go together. And doctors, nurses, first responders, etcetera. This will quickly and dramatically reduce deaths and hospitalizations. And within a short period of time, I think we want to get back to normal vory standard phrase. We want to just get back to normal, get back to where we were Ah, little more than nine months ago. We're doing incredibly, and in many respects we're still doing incredibly with our stock markets and everything else which you're hitting all new highs. We've already finalized a partnership with Walgreens and CVS, whose executives join us today. Thank you very much for being here, thank you very much. We appreciate it very much, and they will deliver vaccines directly to nursing homes as soon as the state's request that they do so Later today, General Gus Partner will outline the detailed plan to rapidly distribute the vaccine to every state, territory and tribe. States have designated over 50,000 sites that will receive the vaccine. We've worked very closely with the States. Actually, we've had very good relationships with the governor's. I almost think all of the governors, at least in those conference calls that are somewhat secret other than sometimes on occasion, Mike, the press will break in, which is fine, too. It's amazing how you leave those rooms in about 10 seconds later, there wasn't even time for a leak. They were on the call. But that's all right. So you assume that you always assumed that, but they'll be going through pharmacies, hospitals, health care providers. Through our partnership with FedEx, UPS and McKesson will ship doses from warehouses directly to the designated sites, and we're thrilled to be joined by representatives, Those really great American companies. Those companies have worked with us and they've been incredible to work with. And I want to thank you all for being here. Please. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much, Aziz. I've stated all along and I guess as you saw pretty vividly, I heard about the I heard about what they were going to show prior to my coming. You saw that very few people thought that this was possible. Of course they'll be saying now, we always told you it was so but we have them saying a little bit different. But it has been incredible. And it will end the pandemic. It will end the pandemic. And we're working with other nations. As you see, actually, by looking at your screen today, we're working very closely with other nations also to get the vaccines out to other nations. And, uh, that's very important. We work with the world, we're working with the world, we have great companies and we're working with the world. In just a few minutes, I'll sign an executive order to ensure that the United States government priorities is the getting out of the vaccine to American citizens before sending it to other nations. Now, if necessary, told you will invoke the Defense Production Act, but we don't think it will be necessary if it is. It's a very powerful act, as you know, because we've used it very, very successfully. While we begin to swiftly deploy, the vaccine will continue to expand the availability of groundbreaking therapies. Since April, advances in treatments have already helped reduce the mortality rate by 85%. Think of that 85%. It's an incredible number. I've delivered on my solemn promise to make the antibody treatments. They're brilliant. They're highly successful, available to every American. And we're doing that free of cost, totally free, of course. So we're making them available and they're available now. And if somebody gets sick, it works where they go and they get treatment. If that's what the doctors air prescribing and it's been incredible. The success. And when you hear 85% that's some number. To me. That's a number that goes along with anything else, uh, including the vaccines. When you think about it as well as we've done with the vaccines, when you hear 85% people. People find that one hard to believe. But you look at the stats and you see what's happening, and you look at other countries. They're having tremendous difficulties in Europe, tremendous beyond relatively beyond what we're having having them all over the world. But this will vanquish the the problem. This horrible scores, as I call it, the China virus, because that's where it came from. And the virus has really been looked at and studied all over the world, and our scientists are industrial. Economic mobilization has been like nobody else in the world could have done. And it's very important that we share that with others and other nations. I've worked and invoke the Defense Production Act over 100 times to manufacture essential supplies in the United States. Despite the grim projections from the media eight months ago where they said this was impossible, they actually said, and you saw that a little bit, but I could give you, uh, two hours worth of it. Uh, but they said it will never happen. You could never do it. It was a pipe dream, but we we did something that nobody thought was possible, and we also did it where no American who has needed a ventilator has been denied a ventilator. When we when this first came out, we weren't equipped for that. Nobody was equipped for that. And we're now making ventilators, and we have all we need in this country. But we're sending them to countries all over the world were making thousands and thousands of ventilators a month. The United States has also created the largest, most advanced, the most innovative testing program in the world. By far. We've conducted over 200 million tests. Think of that 200 million tests more than all of the European Union combined. It's not even close. Just 10 months ago, none of these innovations even existed. The tremendous progress that we've made is testament to what our nation is capable of when America is faced with a challenge, we come through and we always come through to overcome every hardship and surmount every obstacle. And I think you'll be seeing that over the next few months. Uh, the numbers should skyrocket downward. We are the most exceptional nation in the history of the world today. We're on the verge of another American medical miracle. And that's what people are saying. People that aren't necessarily big fans of Donald Trump are saying whether you like him or not, This is one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern day medicine or any other medicine any other age of medicine. American companies were the first to produce a verifiably safe and effective vaccine. Together we will defeat the virus and we will soon end the pandemic. And we will save millions and millions of lives both in our country and all over the world. And we've already started thank you again to every person here today and for the incredible achievements that you've done. You're going to be very proud of this day and you're gonna be very proud of this period of time because nobody thought this was possible. Nobody thought it was even remotely possible to do what we've done in a period of less than nine months, something that just not even thinkable. And we took a lot of heat when we said This is our goal and we frankly weren't even quite using the numbers that we use. We far exceeded what we thought if we would have said sometime next year, I think most people would have said that would be great. That would be a miracle. But we did it long before, sometime next year. So now I wanna asked several leaders who have been crucial in this effort to join me. On stage is I signed the executive order to ensure that American citizens have first priority to receive American vaccines. And then we're going to be working with other countries all over the world, and I think we'll be able to start doing that almost immediately. Also, because we have millions of doses coming in. So thank you very much. Thank you. It's great honor on. Okay, Okay. Okay. Crazy. Also still. Let's see. I guess we have to do our vice president. Okay. I'm getting out certain. Bob's birthday. Well, that's it. Thank you. For, uh, yes. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Yeah, Yeah. Somebody. Any questions, please? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
