Statement from Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford on Governor Baker’s Failing Vaccine Rollout Report Card

“Every day, Governor Charlie Baker’s disastrous vaccine rollout has Massachusetts falling further and further behind. Now, in a new report giving the Baker-Polito administration failing marks for their botched distribution plan, experts from Harvard’s Kennedy School say it’ll be “almost impossible for it to catch up.” When Massachusetts ranks 44th in national vaccination rankings, Baker must confront his own negligence. But as local leaders pick up the pieces of his crumbling rollout and as disturbing inequities in vaccinations persist, Baker still asks us to be patient while he throws aways thousands of doses of the vaccine. It’s unacceptable, and when Massachusetts is home to the best medical care in the world, this failure lands squarely on Baker’s shoulders.”
