“Bridger placed the onus for the lag in vaccinations squarely on Operation Warp Speed, the federal government’s public-private effort to speed the development and distribution of the vaccines. The state, she said, is dependent on allocations from the federal government.”
The writer makes the point better than I could. I would add that at present we don’t even know how the Capitol incursion happened, or who was involved.

I wrote in another post today that the long-term consequences of yesterday’s Capitol incursion are hard to guess. But if I had to guess, I’d say the instant commentary captures some of the likely themes. It is simply not possible to have government of, by and for the people when large numbers of the people believe their government is not of, by and for them.
