Vaccine

During the 2020 campaign when the death toll from Covid hit 220,000 Biden said, anyone that is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.” A Washington Post article on November 30, 2020 said, (Trump not really encouraging people to get vaccinated) didn't help Biden. The article goes on to say, Biden has presided over about 353,000 deaths in a little over 10 months, compared to about 425,000 for Trump in his final 10-plus months. It is questionable that Trump who took such pride in the vaccine would not encourage people to use it. Here us a quote from NPR on March 16, 2021, Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday recommended that all eligible Americans get the coronavirus vaccine when their opportunity comes, though he added a caveat that he also respects people's decisions not to get one. The Post article doesn't mention the fact that the vaccine was not available for most of Trump's time in office. A Newsweek article from December 21, 2021 states, The nation’s COVID-19 death toll stands at around 800,000 as the anniversary of the U.S. vaccine rollout arrives. A year ago it stood at 300,000. An untold number of lives, perhaps tens of thousands, have been saved by vaccination. It is difficult to find articles estimating how many lives were saved by the vaccine in the US but WHO says over a million were saved world wide and since the US has 20% of the cases it could be assumed that 200,000 were saved in the US.
