Statement from MassDems Chair Gus Bickford on Governor Charlie Baker’s Testimony at Today’s COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management Hearing

“Today’s hearing showed just how out of touch Charlie Baker is from his own disastrous vaccine rollout. While Democrats demanded answers for Baker’s hasty pivots and strategy reversals, he doubled down on his own bad decisions. With tired excuses and cherry-picked statistics, Baker minimized the frustration and fear felt by some of our most vulnerable communities and discounted the expertise of local health officials. The reality is this: Baker’s own management, technological, and leadership failures have made this rollout a disaster. It’s time our governor stop making excuses and take responsibility.”
