Media did not say Biden’s vaccination plan was ‘impossible’

In December, Biden asserted that one of his top priorities in dealing with the pandemic included administering 100 million COVID-19 vaccines in his first 100 days.

“My first 100 days will not end the COVID-19 virus. I can’t promise it, ”Biden said. “But we didn’t get into this mess quickly, we’re not going to get out of it quickly, it’s going to take time. But I am absolutely convinced that in 100 days we can turn the tide of disease and change life in America for the better.

Asked by a reporter if his target was too low given the growing number of vaccines in the United States, Biden broke down, mistakenly claiming that corporate media and others originally misinterpreted his plan as unachievable.

“When I announced it, you all said it wasn’t possible. Let’s go. Give me a break, man, ”Biden said.

Despite the president’s insistence that his plan was in doubt from the start, many corporate media and health officials maintained optimistic positions on the deployment under Biden, devoting much of their efforts to destroy former President Donald Trump’s handling of the virus and distribution of vaccines instead.

While mainstream media, and even Biden himself, have proclaimed the Trump administration’s vaccination process “a disaster,” “a mess” and a “dismal failure,” CNN, The New York Times, USA Today , Vox, and others have praised and celebrated the Democrats’ plan as a way to help bring the virus under control, despite his clear reliance on the growing number of vaccinations that took place before he took office.

Even Dr Anthony Fauci, a health adviser to Biden, has expressed hope and positivity about the president’s vaccine aspirations.

“President-elect Biden has made it clear that his goal is at least 100 million doses in the first 100 days. Namely, 1 million doses per day. We can do that, Chris. It’s something that’s doable, ”Fauci said on MSNBC.

The few articles that expressed more skepticism than others about Biden’s ability to execute the process of distribution and firing were few and far between and did not deserve Biden’s generalization, accusing everyone of pretending his goal was impossible.
