Inoculating 100 million people in 100 days – Biden

Biden Promises 100 Million Covid-19 Vaccinations In First 100 Days, Warning That Trump’s Approach Would Take ‘Years’ – Forbes.com – December 29, 2020 1

The article went on to say “President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the Trump Administration’s efforts to vaccinate millions of American people against Covid-19 are falling “far behind” what is needed to control the pandemic, pledging to invoke the Defense Production Act and launch vaccine education campaigns to accelerate the process and deliver 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office.”

This would be huge. I think we need to celebrate Biden right now, because as Biden says, he clearly has a vision that Trump can’t match.

Yesterday on C-Span3, reported by the NYPost.com – Biden was asked, “shouldn’t you set the bar higher, that’s pretty much where we are right now?” So, the question is, if his plan of 100 million people in 100 days was a goal that was set too low.

‘When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible,’ he snapped. ‘Come on, gimme a break, man! It’s a good start.’ – President Joe Biden [enf_note]https://nypost.com/2021/01/21/biden-rebukes-white-house-reporter-for-covid-19-question/[/efn_note]

As of this morning CBS News quoted the following

Fauci said another difference between the two administration’s is Mr. Biden’s commitment to honesty.2

Psaki, who served as White House communications director under President Barack Obama and as a spokesperson at the State Department, told reporters during her first briefing on Wednesday that she and Mr. Biden discussed prior to his inauguration the “importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room.”3

But this is her hypocrisy… when she was called out, that Trump had already delivered on 1 million inoculations a day! Psaki makes excuses. Trump just delivered!

According to Psaki, the Trump administration was given 36 million vaccine doses and administered a total of about 17 million shots, for a rate of fewer than 500,000 shots a day. ‘What we are proposing is to double that to about 1 million shots per day,’ she said, adding that the Biden team has been forming its plan to achieve this milestone ‘for some time.’4

Less than 500,000 shots a day. In the last month+ if you average across every day, including the first day where a few hundred were inoculated, it averages to 500,000 shots a day. As of December 23, 2020 – only 1 million had been inoculated. 5

Since then, under Trump’s administration, we got up to 1 million inoculations in one day as of last week.

Process this “As of Wednesday, nearly 29.4 million doses had been shipped to all 50 states and all U.S. territories. Of those, just 10.3 million — about 30% — had actually been used, CDC data shows.”6 What this means is that there are 19 days worth of doses to deliver left. Keep that same delivery pattern that Trump was up to and we have your 100 days – 100,000,000 inoculations. Biden’s promise. Trump’s delivery.

Even WebMD.com on January 20, 2021 posted the following article that was titled the following “For Biden, 100 Million Vaccinations in 100 Days Not Easy” and here is a clip of what it said – “Now, during a once-in-a-century pandemic, incoming President Joe Biden has promised to provide 100 million covid-19 vaccinations in his first 100 days in office. ‘This team will help get … at least 100 million covid vaccine shots into the arms of the American people in the first 100 days,” Biden said during a Dec. 8 news conference introducing key members of his health team.’ 7

So – GO BIDEN… Just don’t screw up what President Donald J. Trump delivered on.
