(Martin Walsh) Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy hammered Press Secretary Jen Psaki during the press briefing, grilling her on why the Biden administration has been so “unprepared” for the increase in demand for COVID-19 testing.

Doocy — who is triple vaccinated and tested positive for covid over the holidays — said he followed Biden’s advice to “Google COVID test near me.
Doocy, in his question to Psaki, said he learned that testing centers were fully booked and no appointments were available.
“I heard the President say, ‘Google COVID tests near me.’ So, as somebody isolated with COVID, I did that, and the appointments everywhere were completely jammed. So, why is it you guys were so unprepared for the need for testing after the holidays?” Doocy asked.
“Well, Peter, I’m happy to see you back and well,” Psaki began. “I would second say that there has been a massive surge in cases — as you know and were a part of — in D.C. and New York. And there has been an unprecedented — and in other parts of the country as well — there’s been unprecedented demand for tests.”
“So what we have done over the course of the last few weeks and even before that, is the president quadrupled our testing capacity since the summer,” Psaki continued. “We opened 20,000 sites across the country and we’ve also opened additional federal sites, including one in D.C. only recently.”

After some back and forth, Psaki said there would be more information available on the test kits later in the week, but Doocy continued to press.
“At the rate, you guys are going, these tests are not going to be available until spring, so will you admit that these free tests you guys promised are not going to be ready until after the omicron surge?” Doocy asked.
Doocy also asked if the Biden administration is considering rolling back the vaccine mandate for federal employees — which included those employed by the U.S. Postal Service — so more employees can be retained and could help get test kits delivered to the American people faster.
Psaki largely dodged the question and said the Postal Service was “eager to take on this challenge” without the mandate being rolled back.

In his final question, Doocy said that he is triple vaccinated and still got coronavirus. He also noted that Psaki is vaccinated and still tested positive for the virus.
Doocy asked if Biden would stop claiming that the spread of COVID-19 was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Psaki replied by claiming the “language” did not need to change because the severely ill were mostly unvaccinated.
WATCH:
Doocy: "I understand…the science says the vaccines prevent deaths, but I'm triple vaxxed, still got Covid. You are triple vaxxed, still got Covid. Why is [Biden] still referring to this as a pandemic of the unvaccinated?"
