NOW: @WhiteHouse Covid adviser @ASlavitt says "it will be months before everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one."
No stockpile exists, White House is maintaining supply on a 2-3 day rolling basis, sending as received from manufacturers.
.@ASlavitt says White House will give states more visibility into supply, but Congress needs to pass Biden's rescue package to ensure supply increases.
More supplies of low dead space syringes is key to increasing vaccinations, @ASlavitt says.
"The American Rescue Plan is an important and vital part of getting Americans vaccinated," says @ASlavitt

On @MSNBC, @chrislhayes talks to @RepJeffries about the threats made against his family, while at the exact same time Tulsi Gabbard keeps trying out for a Fox gig by calling Democrats who are concerned about violent extremists “domestic enemies.”
Gabbard says the country will no longer exist unless Democrats denounce @JohnBrennan, who is not currently a government official and has no authority over anyone whatsoever.
Gabbard is immediately followed by the MyPillow guy, who is complaining that retailers don't want to sell HisPillow anymore.
So @seanspicer is again complaining about the @WHCA taking too long to approve his application, as if he's a victim of some form of "cancel culture."
I have no idea what the WHCA will decide, but it very much looks like he's ineligible.
Here's why. (thread 1/)
You see, Newsmax isn't Sean's only gig.
Sean has two other ventures going. RigWil and Point 1.
2/
RigWil, according to his website and this @PRWeekUS piece, is "a strategic consulting firm that provides insights to C-suite corporate and association executives."
One of his employees even said he's "advising clients who are "looking to have meetings on the Hill." 3/
.@POTUS: "For the past year, we couldn't rely on the federal government to act with urgency and focus and coordination we needed. And we have seen the tragic costs of that failure."
Biden: "While the vaccine provides so much hope the rollout has been a dismal failure thus far...I understand why many governors, mayors county officials tribal leaders, feel like they're left on their own without a clear national plan to get them through the crisis. "
.@POTUS: "Let me be very clear: Things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. The memorial we we held two nights ago will not be our last one, unfortunately. The death toll will likely top 500,000 next month, the cases will continue to mount."
NOW: @PressSec delivers "message on behalf of the entire White House" — "The violence we saw yesterday at our nation's capitol was appalling reprehensible and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it the President and this administration and the strongest possible terms."
So @RudyGiuliani is on his radio show repeating debunked nonsense about how it was really "antifa" who heeded @realDonaldTrump's call to storm the Capitol.
"This was a setup," he says, before going on to complain about Democrats and #BlackLivesMatter protests.
"This these rioters didn't get all incited by President Trump or by Donald Jr or by me, or by Professor Eastman or anyone else, because they came to the scene they came to the show with the implements to break in...They came there with bats they came there with hammers," he says
"And when you watch him scaling the wall. It looks like a scene out of, oh Game of Thrones or something. These are well trained people," @RudyGiuliani says, blaming the Capitol Police rather than the pro-Trump rioters.
