President-elect Joe Biden is accusing the Trump administration of moving too slowly on coronavirus vaccinations. While left-leaning articles highlight that Trump administration officials continue to claim that vaccine distribution is on track, right-leaning articles highlight that in remarks delivered from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden painted a grim picture of the coronavirus pandemic.
A left-leaning article by CNN highlights that despite being behind on coronavirus vaccinations, Trump administration officials continue to claim that vaccine distribution is on track and blame the gap on a lag in reporting data. Dr. Anthony Fauci threw cold water on the notion that distribution of the vaccine is on track, as he told CNN’s Jim Sciutto that the U.S. is “certainly not at the numbers that we wanted to be at the end of December.”
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that administration officials previously predicted there would be 20 million vaccinations by the end of December, but only about 2 million people have been vaccinated so far. Although Biden applauded Congress for finally acting on last week’s coronavirus relief package, he said more aid would be necessary.
The Washington Examiner highlights that in remarks delivered from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden painted a grim picture of the coronavirus pandemic, saying the worst was yet to come. Biden’s tone was a sharp contrast with Trump, who has been frequently criticized for offering happy talk about the pandemic.
