Joe Biden is promising to distribute a coronavirus vaccine to 100 million people during the first three months of his incoming administration, pledging “100 million shots in the first 100 days.”
At an event from Delaware to introduce his pandemic response team on Tuesday, Biden laid out his top three priorities for the start of his new government. He repeated his previous calls for all Americans to wear masks for 100 days to prevent the spread of the virus and said he’d mandate doing so in federal buildings and on public transportation, while also making the new promise to distribute 100 million vaccines shots over the same period.
Biden also said he believed that the virus can be brought under enough control to reopen “the majority of schools” within his first 100 days.
Those pledges came even as Biden struck a somber tone about the toll the coronavirus has already taken. He said that, after about nine months of living with the pandemic, the U.S. is “at risk of becoming numb to its toll on all of us.” He specifically noted the virus’s “disproportionate” effects on Americans of color, calling it a “mass casualty” for many minority groups.

This is an obvious attempt to take credit for which he has nothing to say about. Sounds like the programs the President has already put forth that was vehemently trashed by Biden a, the Democrats , and the liberal media all along. Suddenly it’s their idea and the way things should be handled. COPYCAT!
AND like the cheerleaders they act like, the MEDIA WILL SING HIS PRAISE, for all to hear.. BUT GIVE NO CREDIT what so ever to trump…
Yep, Joe, the virus is “racist” and as a result, it goes after people of color. These are the type of people that are leading our Country, if one wants to call that leadership!!!!!!
PITY The virus ISN’T Prejudice. Maybe it could just TARGET EVERY DAMN COmmucrat out there.
Talk about stealing someone’s thunder. You go Joe. And it should be straight to the courts stating that you were elected illegally.
