Vice President Mike Pence walked out of a coronavirus task force briefing according to The Daily Caller.

One reporter asked, “Why is the federal government not taking questions?”

Another said, “what is going on?”

“How can you not take questions?”

“You’re all undermining the democratic election!”

Pence said, “We have a plan in place, that the moment the FDA concludes that that vaccine is safe and effective, we have a system in place to begin within 24 hours shipping that vaccine to hospitals, healthcare facilities and 24 hours after that literally injecting that vaccine into Americans.”

Leading the first coronavirus task force briefing since July, Pence thanked reporters and walked off stage after an almost 90-minute briefing. Reporters immediately began shouting questions as Pence left the room, according to videos posted to Twitter.

During the briefing, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Pfizer will file for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its coronavirus vaccine Friday.

Pence said once the vaccine is approved by the FDA, it will be shipped out immediately.

The news comes a day after the U.S. reported more than 250,000 coronavirus deaths, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University.
