- Joe Biden has pledged to try and achieve 100 million coronavirus vaccine doses administered during the first 100 days of his new presidential administration.
- White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has weighed in and said that goal is "absolutely a doable thing."
- To date, since the US began administering coronavirus vaccine doses in mid-December, only 16.3 million COVID doses have been administered in the US.
Ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday, the scale of the coronavirus pandemic was already worrying enough -- at least 199,700 new COVID0-19 cases and 2,960 virus-related deaths every day, per a seven-day average of Johns Hopkins University data calculated by CNBC.
In the hours before Biden was to take the oath of office, though, his team was already reportedly worried that Trump's people may only have revealed "the tip of the iceberg," in the words of one Biden transition official, in terms of how dire the US pandemic situation really is. Indeed, this will largely be the thing Biden's first-term performance is measured against as the end of his first term nears. That no matter what else he gets right, in other words, it was the COVID-19 crisis that helped sweep him into office and demands to be solved. But while the scale of the challenge is immense and daunting, there's at least one key expert who already thinks Biden will get there and that his plans regarding the coronavirus vaccine and more are perfectly doable -- White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.
