Moderna reported a highly successful results of the vaccine development. Each achieving a Covid Vaccine that is over 90 effective. We know know moderna is 94. 5 effective, pfizer 95 . That is extraordinary. In july the Trump Administration as part of operation warp speed agreed to provide pfizer with 1. 95 billion to manufacture and distribute their Covid Vaccine. Allowing this sexing to be provided free for the American People. While democrats were pursuing a highly divisive and entirely baseless impeachment endeavor as far back as january 13, this president , the Trump Administration and the National Institute of health with partnering with moderna and working on this vaccine for the American People. But thats not all. This administration has remained engaged on the development and distribution of a safe and effective vaccine throughout the year. Again in january and continued thereafter. May 15 operation warp speed was launched. On september 16 we released to back document outlining a strategy to deliver a safe and effective vaccine. These documents were the strategic distribution overview and interim playbook for state, tribal, territorial andocal alth programepartments. On september 23 we provide 200 million to jurisdictions to support plans for eventual distribution. On october 14 we provided 31 million for vaccine related consumable products. On october 16th we made agreements with cvs and walgreens to administer vaccines to residents of longterm care facilities. On october 26 under the prep act we issued guidance authorizing qualified pharmacy technicians to administer the vaccine. On october 30 we announced Mckesson Corporation will produce, store and distribute vaccine ancillary supply kit on behalf of of the Strategic National stockpile to help healthcare workers who will administer the vaccine. On november 12 we announc a partnership with large chain pharmacies and independent regional ones to deliver safe and effective vaccines. The unprecedented response to this pandemic has already saved Many American lives and as you can see this timeline was ongoing. This is a long process and one that we are very proud of. Now with multiple safe and effective vaccines just around the corner we urge all americans to wash their hands can socially distance, wear a mask when you cannot do so. And with that i will take questions. Im going to ask y question that i mask fairly often away from whi house and that is with respect to what Rudy Giuliani and the legal team on the campaign side had to say as they, april have lets suggest yesterday as evidence of fraud, irregularities, even malicious content with respect to vote total. The question is what then would be the pathway or strategy to overturn what the campaign believes is a flawed election . I would talk a judicial pathway, a legislative pathway . A followup, houstonight americans be able to get their hands on a Covid Vaccine pgh yes, so to your first point i would say that theres been multiple pieces of litigation filed across the country by various individuals, the campaign and others. I will leave it to the campaign to make those determinations as how to proceed with the president has been very clear he wants everything about to be counted and to make sure no illegal votes are counted. But with regard to a vaccine may believe there would be 40 million doses available by the end of the year. Again this is extraordinary. This is the fastest vaccine in history by fivefold. Its really extraordinaire progress pic youve heard dr. Fauci among others say that and it is only possible because of this president and at the same time pursuing vexing to ongoing to do something novel, m going to manufacture. Many American Life will be saved thanks to President Trump and the great work of operation warp speed. One thing about the Covid Vaccine. Is there a concern inside the white house that a lack of working with a potential or presumptive president elect biden team will somehow slow down the distribution of the Covid Vaccine. Was yeah im glad you asked that question. Not in the slightest because, in fact, i did it the former vice presiden say yesterday he was concerned about not being able to distribute a vaccine. He shouldnt be. Maybe he hasnt seen but we publly available that planet mentioned in my opening. Its the covid19 vaccination program, the interim playbook for jurisdiction operations. This is publicly available if the former Vice President would like to read through it. Beyond that i say that we have already going back months pardon with 64 jurisdictionsn this country to make sure they each have individualized Distribution Plants. Those of ss. Those have been made certain they are good and operational those have been assessed. Theres a Distribution Plan in place which is why you heard general perna said yesterday that within 24 hours of getting that emergency use authorization we will be able to distribute this all across the country. [shouting] thanks, come on. When does the present plan to discuss is happy with the michigan lawmakers and [inaudible] appoint electors who support his reelection . He will be meeting later on. Its not an advacy meeting. There will b no one from the campaign there. He routinely meet with lawmakers from all aoss the country. When will you admit [inaudible] at what point does the president could see the race and allow for proper transition to the biden team . Right now theres ongoing litigation. There are what we kno 74 million americans that voted forhe president. Thats more votes than any president has gotten i history. Its really extraordinary and there are very real claims after that the campaign is pursuing, 230 pages o affidavits publicly available in one county alone, wayne county and to make individuals in the campaign for their that a decline to certify. These are real claims. These individualseserve to be heard. This is the system that is never been tried in arican history, mass mail at voting. Its when we were identified as being particularly prone to fraud so those claims deserve to be pursued. Has anyone from the white house spoken with gsa with the direct of gsa about the timing of ascertaining who theext president will be . Has any pressure been applied to her . Actually not. Gsa will make the determination of ascertainment at the right moment. Right now is constitutional process that is being played out, questions being asked in court but the gsa will determine when asking israel. One of the question, which is senator Lamar Alexander today put out a statement encouraging the Trump Administration in absence of ascertainment to begin allowing the biden team access, full access, to everything they need for a transition, access agencies, to Realtime Data. Whats the harm in doinghat . Theres a president ial transition act in advance of election weve done everything statutorily required and we will continue to do that. Its after the election the. Thank you. I have a followup. Has the president or anyone in the administration instructed officials not to engage or have conversations with members of the Biden Transition Team . No. I have certainly never instructed that and i have not heard an instruction to that end. Myecond question is about covid. Yesterday a lot of what we heard from the doctors, they had bn saying since the end of march, back in the projections were 100,000 americans would die. Now as you know we surpassed that by 2. 5 times. Did the administrion failed to communicate how serioushis threat was to themerican people . How else you explain what wen wrong . I would say the initial projection that our doctors gave us was 2illion people that would lose their lives and its a tragedy anytime one life is lost but we are far below the 2 million that this couldve been. We took very aggressive measures at the beginning of thi with the china travel ban, creatg the greatest testing system in the entire world, therapeutics, the fact with six working therapeutics right now. The fact weontinue to identify more and more. The fact at least we have a chart on this, but tattled to chart, deaths i went hundred for age and monster as you can see deaths have come down for every for those over 70 that medline is a testament to what this president has done. Therapeutics, that reduces hospitalization and high risk seniors with moderate to mile covid by 70 . Thats american ingenty right into the location President Trump course on this but we are seeing cases rise and its important to wash your hands, socially distant. Were takg this is a. Do you think the mixed message and contribute to that . Just this week yesterday Vice President pce wanted to make clear that they supported states and local decisionmaking. Just two days a you called some of the state guidelines orwellian. How would you expect people to know what to do with all this mixed messaging . Two things can happen at once. Taking covid seriously, engagg in aggressive mitigation but also recognizing that the American People have certain freedoms. It is by definition orwellian for firstnet like oregon to say if you have more than six people in your family congregate in your home, we can jail you for 3 days. Thats not the american way. The American People know the cdc recommendations, know the guidelines that we can talk about this for ten months but the mecca people still if certain freedoms still have autonomy and still make important self responsibility decisions themselves. Thank you, kayleigh. Nice to see you. Good to see you. Last nht campaign attorneys [inaudible] [inaudible question] the legal maneuvers just are not working. Did you all have a reactiono that when you saw that and read out. Is again that would be a question for the campaign. We at the white house are aggressively wking on covid, weinke downwards in afghanistan an iraq among other issues. There will be a drug pricing announcement later in the afternoon. I asked a question for Jackson Richman of the jewish news and he could be here for social distancing. The question is about jonathan pollard. His parole conditions are set to expire tomorrow. Is the president willing to commute his parole conditions or pardon him . Have you been getting any calls from the judicial to take action on this case . I havent heard about that. I havent looked into the particular case but we will take a at his question. Ack to the topic of is or something the president needs to see before making that call . Is at the end of these losses, whenever they wrap up, all of them . They certify results in different counties or the sum of 14th Win Electoral College cast about. Wi the present again is pursuing ongoing litigation taking it day by day and we wait for that litigation to play out. So just to clarify its the end of that litigation that we would need to see before getting theres an entire constitutional process of electors casting their ballots and i will leave that to the president. Contrary to the court of media opinion there is Realtime Data showing tt irregularities in the Voting System that we watch over the last few weeks. Where is our fbi in this entire team . I i been looking any of the evidence that thi white house or the campaign has presented in termsf Realtime Data evidence of voter irregularity . What is the fbi . I would refer you to the fbi on that, to the doj on that. Naudible] not that im aware. Would say say that are real questions on that. We put those questions forward and we have said this for the better par of the year, there was a bartisan commission that talked about and identified the real pential for fraud mass mailing voting. Something i would note, w talked a lot about transfer of power in the election and its worth remembering that this president would never given an earl transition of power. His present was never accepted. [shoutg] before the election, his election we know crossfire hurricane was launched by peter strzok to pursue a baseless allegati about the president s ties with russia. That was before his presint trying to subvert the will of the American People. We know and August Peter Strzok wrote a text message about an intern policy against a trump presidency. Once again triedo silence the voice of the america people into in 2016. We know in october theas a fisa warrant tak out on the trump campaign. Despite all of the odds. What happened after he was elected . He went 70 lawmakers, there were not cing to his inauguration to democratic lawmakers preview at elizabe warren saying we ar going to attempt to obstruct the trump transition by urging e Government Accountability office to investigate the Incoming Trump transition period in january of that year you had prident obama have eight by the book meeti with the talked about the logan act using that ive to go after Lieutenant GeneralMichael Flynn just before the inauguration you had bzfeed promoting this bogus steele dossier that is been wely debunked. For two years at the baseless Mueller Investigation which search for collusion, found none and exonerated President Trump. While in 2016 President Trump became the dulyelected president , meany sought to undermine him, discredit him. Legitimizing and deny his victory. Ther were no calls for unity. There were n calls for hling. So while every legal vote is counted let lets not forget te inexcusable transition or lack there of that President Trump had to endure in 2016 and four years into his presidency. Thank you everyone for the very good questions today. [shouting] i dont call on activists. I am not an activist and you taking questions not doing your job. Your taxpayerfunded job.
