Biden says nothing can change the trajectory of Covid pandemic over the next several months

Bro you can't blame Biden for deaths NOW and not give him credit for vaccine. You have to pick a an attribution framework that is consistent.

I will start blaming Biden for cases counts and deaths in week 4 of his presidency. 3 weeks is sufficient time to implement his policies and prove how serious he is.

However it is clear that non-pharma mitigation is weak at best in the US and the vaccine will be the primary driver of ending the pandemic - that's why I said that's all that matters.

If Biden can get 200 million doses in 100 days out into people... that would be a heroic effort.

Which one did they give the late Hank Aaron?

Hydroxychloroquine, the same one they gave to Herman Cain.

Wait, is that actually true? I thought Hank Aaron got a COVID vaccine and died two weeks later.

Hmmm. On the video it seems he was being given one of the vaccines. And they publicized it quite heavily. At least until he dropped dead 2 weeks later.

you know you've won when the opposing side has to resort to desperate diversions like this. I pity you.

You know you’ve won when you’ve WON the White House, House and Congress.

Sign your Tulsa Rally waiver please.

ENJOY YOUR LOSS ??

I voted for Trump but I'm honestly pretty OK with the Biden administration so far.

He hasn't really restricted my personal freedoms any more than Trump did (this was my fear when he got elected- a national type lockdown or facemask mandate).

Biden has signed some meaningless executive orders that really won't effect my life, or the vast vast majority of lives in the United States. I think he did something with transgender people in the military, males competing in female sports and a mask mandate in federal buildings.

And the Democrat controlled government I was worried about ( I don't love when one party controls the congress and the presidency) is wasting their time and energy trying to impeach a guy who isn't even in office anymore. I honestly hope this impeachment process goes on for months.

Yeah, the Democrats are spending money we don't have, which will eventually bite us in the a$$ but the Republicans weren't much better and also spent like drunken sailors.

Really, I see very little difference between a Trump presidency and a Biden presidency other than Biden is much more likable than Trump and is a better communicator.

WRONG!

From the Chicago Tribune: "Pfizer notably did not accept government money to develop, test or expand manufacturing capacity under Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly find a vaccine and treatments for the disease sweeping the country.

In fact, Pfizer partnered with the vaccine’s original developer, Germany’s BioNTech, in March and the following month announced the first human study in Germany. The White House announced Operation Warp Speed in May."

Maybe you meant Germany should take credit for the vaccine?

Seattle, remember you are dealing with slow witted people who only listen to Trump and don't do any fact checking. They also think USA is the world and companies all belong to USA

There are now at least three vaccines by different companies ready for market or on market

which one is lying wrote:Operation Warp Speed helped with clinical trials and ramping up supply of vaccines including Pfizer's. Educate yourself.

Do you realise there is a world outside the USA?

Calling it a catchy name doesn't give you ownership of the research

...and buying the manufacturing rights and supply of the vaccine after development, even with a catchy name to the money, does not mean you developed it...just stop the nonsense.

What is a fact you should be concerned about, even before the attempted coup, America was listed as a 'flawed democracy', yet the guys on here think they are responsible for every progress in the world.

The only thing USA is leading at is Covid cases and deaths. Well done

This topic is about the USA. There are two vaccines in use in the USA currently and several more in the pipeline which benefitted from OWS.

If you want to talk about who to credit for vaccinations in Australia or whatever then sure, but that's not really this topic.

Biden making moves! Increasing US vaccine order by 50% (200 million more doses) and laying out plan to reimburse states for using National Guard resources to deploy vaccine!

Exactly what we wanted! Trump could’ve done this any time between Dec 15th and Jan 20th!

This is good and necessary work, because that is enough doses on top of the present orders to get us at or close to herd immunity before fall sports and school start up. I still have high hopes for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine set to be out shortly but manufacturing problems are slowing the likely doses to a trickle in late February. Now they need to prove themselves in getting the doses out.

Of course, cases are currently quadruple what they were in that timeframe, and there's "nothing" Biden can do to change that trajectory.

Plenty he can do and is doing!

Trump stopped caring in May. Good thing we have competent people to clean up the mess.

And competent voters to kick the whole GOP out.

Remember, every bit of weird COVID denial or boomer-level anti-Biden trolling only helps the Dems in midterms! Keep it up!
