Biden criticizes deficits in the Trump administration’s approach to vaccinations

Future US President Joe Biden has criticized deficits in the outgoing government’s approach to mass vaccinations against the corona virus. The administration of President Donald Trump is falling behind its own plan to distribute the vaccine doses, complained Biden on Tuesday. He announced that when he took office on January 20, he would mobilize his entire government for the vaccination campaign.

The vaccination campaign against the coronavirus began in the United States in mid-December. Vaccinating the US population is the “greatest operational challenge we have ever faced as a nation,” said Biden, who had previously been briefed by experts about the corona situation. His government will ensure that “safe vaccines” are distributed evenly so that everyone can be vaccinated regardless of skin color or place of residence.

The future president was confident that the corona crisis in the USA will relax in the new year – but not quickly. An improvement may not be seen until March. His government’s plan to fight the pandemic will “take time” before producing visible results, Biden said.

“The next few weeks and months will be very tough,” warned the future president. It will be “perhaps the toughest” period for the country during the corona pandemic.

The future Vice President Kamala Harris was vaccinated against the corona virus live on television on Tuesday. She was given the first of two doses of vaccine at the United Medical Center in a neighborhood of Washington’s capital. Harris campaigned for confidence in the vaccination: “I want to remind people that you can get vaccinated in your own community, where you can get the vaccine from people you may know.”

The proportion of African Americans in the corona deaths and infections in the USA is disproportionately high. According to surveys, vaccination skepticism is also very pronounced in this population group.

The USA is the country in the world hardest hit by the corona pandemic. Around 19.3 million people have been infected with the virus there, and more than 335,000 people have died in connection with the infection, according to Johns Hopkins University.

In the meantime, the new and apparently more contagious variant of the corona virus has also been detected for the first time in the USA. The mutation was diagnosed in a 20-year-old patient in the state of Colorado, as the local governor Jared Polis announced via the online service Twitter. The man is in quarantine in the Elbert administrative district. He hadn’t been traveling.
