Joe Biden’s misplaced criticism of President Donald Trump’s supposed failure to distribute tens of millions of COVID-19 vaccinations would have been like Republican presidential candidate Thomas E.

With only a few days left in December, we’ve only vaccinated a few million so far. And the pace of the vaccination program is moving now, as it — if it continues to move as it is now, it’s going to take years, not months, to vaccinate the American people,” Biden warned
