Guess Who Biden Blames For His Own Covid Failure

Joe Biden's COVID-19 strategy was a spectacular failure. Frankly, he'd do well not to make it an issue of the 2024 presidential campaign, yet for some reason, he's decided to do just that. On Monday, Biden gave remarks at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference, and he claimed that Trump was at fault for not vaccinating the public, which Biden claimed caused the deaths of more than a million Americans. "You know, after we — the fellow who’s running again — well, I .... After he did no — he did not move on making sure that we dealt with vaccinating the American public," he said. "We ended up losing over a million people dead — a million people. A million."

Biden just said that "we lost 1 million people dead" from covid because President Trump "did not move on making sure that we dealt with vaccinating the American public." -- Let's just ignore questions about the vaccines' effectiveness for the moment because, according to Biden, mass vaccination was the stake through the heart of COVID. Let's look at the facts. The Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines first became available in December 2020; they were developed in record time under Operation Warp Speed. The Trump administration ordered at least 400 million vaccine doses from Pfizer and Moderna — enough vaccines to innoculate 77% of the United States population eligible to receive a shot — before Biden even took office.

The Biden administration also inherited a vaccine distribution plan that the Trump administration developed under Operation Warp Speed, and vaccine production and distribution under Biden followed the same trajectory as they did under Trump. But we didn't lose a million Americans under Trump. In fact, it was 16 months into Biden's term before we lost a million lives to COVID.
