The White House said Friday that Washington is surging federal resources to support vaccinations, testing, and therapeutics—though not vaccines themselves—to Michigan in a bid to control the state’s worst-in-the-nation COVID-19 transmission rate, with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer pleading for a surge in doses.

Senior administration officials told The Associated Press that President Joe Biden told Whitmer on a call Thursday that his administration plans to help Michigan with more efficient administration of the doses already allocated to the state, in addition to surging testing capacity and drugs for CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus treatment.
