President Joe Biden contends there is “nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months,” which is the exact opposite of what presidential candidate Joe Biden promised voters during the 2020 campaign.
By Dec. 23, the United States led the world in vaccinations, with over a million people vaccinated. This despite the fact that, during the presidential campaign, Democrats such as Kamala Harris engaged in a cynical partisan effort to erode trust in government by intimating that the efficacy and safety of vaccines would be compromised under the Trump administration.
At a White House press conference on Thursday, Biden claimed that the Trump administration’s distribution of coronavirus vaccines had been a “dismal failure,” and set a goal to vaccinate 100 million Americans by the end of April — or, around 1 million people per day.
But on the day before Biden made his promise, there had already been 1.6 million doses administered in the United States, according to Bloomberg.
When a reporter gently pushed back and noted how unambitious the administration’s goals were, Biden shot back: “When I announced it you all said it wasn’t possible. Come on, give me a break, man.”
Did they? Who did? The Trump administration “plan” showed that the U.S. was set to administer at least 170 million doses by the end of April.
