Operation Warp Speed leader: COVID vaccine push is "isolated from a political environment"

What he's saying: When asked on "Meet the Press" if he would like to start briefing Biden's team next week, Slaoui said that he would provide public information to the new administration, but that he had "been informed that I should not be saying anything that's confidential to anybody, including anybody that's not part of the administration. And therefore, I'll act according to what the legal requirements are."

• "As you know, I’m highly supportive of the program, and if it means I work with the new administration, I’ll be very happy to."

• "We are concerned with anything that could derail the process. As it stands now, I can't see that happening. But, hopefully, doesn't happen," Slaoui said on ABC's "This Week," when asked if he was concerned about a lack of communication with Biden's team.

What to watch: Within 24 hours of the FDA granting an emergency use authorization to a coronavirus vaccine, Slaoui said that vaccines would be moving to state-designated storage sites.
