Biden preparing for 'multiple scenarios' on COVID-19 vaccine

Biden's approach to COVID-19 differs remarkably from Trump's plan in that it envisions the federal government taking a lead role, rather than simply blaming minorities, immigrants and Democrats for the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19.

The plan reiterates many of the principles and priorities Biden has outlined in speeches and previous policies, including the more aggressive use of the Defense Production Act to manufacture Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for front-line workers.

If elected, Biden would implement a 100-day review immediately after being sworn into office "to identify critical national security risks across America’s international supply chains and will ask Congress to enact a mandatory quadrennial Critical Supply Chain Review to institute this process permanently," according to a fact sheet on the plan distributed by the campaign on Tuesday.

Biden’s plan would also use the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to make sure vaccine production is adequate and work to undo Trump administration tax incentives to encourage on-shore pharmaceutical production.

"The goal here is to have a combination of sufficient domestic production, plus sufficient stockpile, plus sufficient surge capacity. And how you allocate across those three will differ depending on the critical good. And that is fundamentally going to be determined by the outcome of that 100 day review," the official told reporters.
