No matter how well he plans and manages it, the rollout of the Covid vaccines after Joe Biden takes office will be met with howls of criticism, sparked by the Trumpsters and the mainstream media.
As for the latter, think of the New York Times with Howell Raines and Maureen Dowd leading the charge against the Clintons to prove how the Times can go after supposed liberals, too. All that chest thumping and back patting led to Travelgate and then Whitewater and eventually a presidency (which admittedly, was just a water carrier for the Wall Street, war-loving neocons) crippled by impeachment.
There will be plenty of mistakes in the rollout, even under the best management, and these will be seized upon and magnified exponentially. They may even kneecap Biden's whole effort against Covid.
As a Bernie Sanders fan who held my nose and voted for Hillary Clinton and Biden in the general elections, I don't have much hope about what follows after January 20.
Still, what I fear is going to happen shouldn't happen to any president -- or any American.
For now until the swearing in, I am preparing myself for The Big Letdown about many things besides the pandemic.
But who knows? I think Biden and, even more importantly, those he puts in charge can do a good job against the virus.
But I have big doubts about how the media will perform.
I hope I'm wrong.
