As I've noted further down this thread, the FDA gave "Emergency Use Approval" in December of 2020 and shortly thereafter Joe Biden got his publicized "Shot"...he was not President at that time, and manufacturing had obviously not ramped up in December (what manufacturer would do so w/o FDA approval?)...so his vaccination was shown for the purpose of the "President Elect" encouraging the public to follow his example and trust in the vaccines...also, as a practical matter, it was important for the nation's newly elected leader to be protected ASAP against COVID-19.
btw, as the attached link reports, there was no established action plan for distributing the vaccines to everyone in the USA...guess Trump, et al, were too busy working on their "Coup" attempt.
Not surprising that Baron would join you in this example of 'Disinformation'...it's his stock and trade.

From your article:
“The process to distribute the vaccine, particularly outside of nursing homes and hospitals out into the community as a whole, did not really exist when we came into the White House,”
Note the outside of nursing homes and hospitals, which were the targeted priority at the time.
"Biden plans to partner with state and local governments to establish vaccination spots in conference centers, stadiums and gymnasiums. The new administration will also deploy thousands of clinical staff from federal agencies, military medical personnel and pharmacy chains to increase vaccinations, and make teachers and grocery clerks eligible."
Even after he took office, it still wasn't available to the general public I guess, since they were, I don't know, prioritizing it or something.
“We’ve seen this factor all over the country where millions of doses have been distributed, but only about half have been given out,”
This also shows that the vaccine was available prior to Biden taking office, it was a shit show apparently, but still shows the tweet to be misinformation.
As I said to Jim below, the wording says that there was NO VACCINE AVAILABLE when he took office, and that is inaccurate.
>No vaccine was approved for distribution...and then, only with an "Emergency Use Authorization (EAU)", until Dec. 11, 2020...
>Biden got his shot on Dec. 21, 2020
>Production did not ramp up until AFTER the FDA granted its EUA...NONE of us had the distribution infrastructure that allowed us to sign up for shots at that time...so, while the vaccines "EXISTED", they were NOT AVAILABLE...do you understand the distinction?
>As the previously linked article states, there was NO PLAN in place to distribute the vaccines...the Trump admin had a FULL YEAR to develop a plan...any plan...to distribute those vaccines QUICKLY to ALL Americans...they FAILED.
Once again, wrt to Joe Biden getting his shot...he didn't...as some here insinuate..."jump into the lifeboat first"...any American would expect their President, who was fairly elected to be their leader, to not be the last in line to get vaccinated, but rather FIRST....unless you were an anti-democracy opponent acting out of spite...which one are you?
In my view, Trump left an awful lot to be desired...but pretending Biden doesn't is tremendously tedious at this point...

from your linked article...
-----------------------
"Many experts said that the Trump administration’s plan had some key holes, including a FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE with the states and cities about the rollout and INADEQUATE FUNDING for vaccine distribution. But it did have a plan: RELY ON THE STATES.
"The federal plan, much like the rest of the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic, was very HANDS OFF when it comes to DETAILS OF IMPLEMENTING public health interventions," said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. "THE LAST MILE OF VACCINE DELIVERY WAS NOT A BIG PART OF THE FEDERAL PLAN BY DESIGN". (emphasis mine).
I don't know what kind of business you're in, but in my career experiences, the Trump admin 'effort' would never be referred to as an effective, much less professional "PLAN"...especially since it was the federal government making ALL the production orders/schedules with manufacturers...not the states...i.e. the Feds controlled "HOW MUCH' would be produced...and "WHEN" the doses would be available to those states...thus it was ESSENTIAL for any plan to have excellent communication between the Feds and States...there wasn't any under Trump.

But the Left will proceed on without pause at this lie because of Liberalism Rule #2:
The rules apply to thee and not me.
The Biden Administration thinks that they can lie, and they think that whatever truth works against them is “misinformation”.
We all saw Captain Applesauce jump onto the lifeboat first during the pandemic - he got the Trump vaccine long before taking office.
House. They started giving them December of 2020, Im sure a few on this forum were fully vaccinated by January 2021.

It's okay for you to post links from False FOX TV (always getting it wrong, never right) but anyone who posts a link that isn't your blessed FOX TV, they're the ones who should be ridiculed, right?
You really do live in an alternate universe - along with the multitudes on here in your cult.
FoxNews website is one of many I link.
You will go crazy once Twitter unbans Trump. You’re ideal would be to shutdown any site or person that reports information that goes against your narrative.

Sounds like a dumbass cheap shot that only reflects poorly on you.
Of course you'll get away with it because your moron pals here (ColeyO) will come and defend your snide and
ill-conceived comment as if it were golden.
It just comes down to another dishonest post by you. Goes nowhere - means little but a fake gut laugh.

Intentionally disingenuous. I give you credit for wading into this against higher intellects knowing that you will take a beating.

"When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available."
That is false, Joe Biden took office in January, and he was already vaccinated at the time he did. That means that a vaccine was available. He posted a picture of Biden getting vaccinated in December as proof. Per the FDA website "Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under EUA in individuals 16 years of age and older"
Are you able to admit that the vaccine portion of the tweet is incorrect now?
they had just been approved and were in limited supply...but for obvious priority reasons...and to encourage those who were skeptical...Joe, very publicly, showed his trust in them.
You need to do a little research before posting...not just go with what your gut tells you...but that's only required if you're trying to convey the truth and not political "Chaff".
Link: https://www.ajmc.com/view/a-timeline-of-covid-19-vaccine-developments-in-2021
Per your linked article:
Jan 5 per your article Moderna had already supplied 18 million doses to the US on their own. Not sure how many were available from the other companies.
Jan 7 per your article "Reports of 21 allergic reactions to either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine among nearly 2 million vaccinated Americans"
There was more that happened before Joe took office as you know.
The question was truth, and the truth is that the statement by the White House twitter account is flawed. They are trying to take complete credit for the vaccine as if it was their accomplishment, but I suppose to you that is not political "Chaff?"
As I told Jim, if you want to argue semantics about the general public, have at it. The truth is that there was a vaccine available, but the supply was limited because it had only had emergency use approval for a month, and it was being prioritized, as you and I both likely agree that it should have.
"February 1
More Americans Vaccinated Than Infected With COVID-19
The United States reaches a milestone as more Americans are reported to have received at least 1 dose of a vaccine against COVID-19 than have tested positive for the virus. Administering vaccine shots at a faster rate than any country worldwide, the United States had administered 26.5 million vaccinations, compared with the 26.3 million people that have tested positive nationwide since January 20, 2020."
Are you trying to tell me that Biden took office and then managed to vaccinate 26.5 million people in less than two weeks?
The fact Biden had been vaccinated before the new year the vaccine itself wasn't available. Infact the former POTUS was in control of
getting the vaccine out to all Americans of which he had no plans effected. No shots available and there were no test kits available, there was no plan to
get a vaccine in the arms of anyone.
Phizer became an emergency use only on Dec. 10th 2020 and Moderna on the 17th - but again, for emergency only.
Biden was only president elect for 3 months and had no power to make policy or create access for the vaccine.
On Jan 20, 2021 Joe Biden made available to Americans vaccines to thwart C19. His goal was to get 100 million doses
out by in 100 days. He accomplished that in less than 100 days.
He also created a way for all Americans to be tested.
Your group really needs to stop with the rewriting of history.
Limited supply does not mean unavailable, it means limited availability. It was approved, and it was being distributed before Biden took office. They were prioritized, as they should have been for the initial rollout. If you want to argue semantics and say that the general public could not get the vaccine because of this, sure, have at it. But I find it rather sad for a White House who is headed by someone who got the vaccine a month before he took office, to claim that it was unavailable.
Again, the statement says that there was no vaccine available. It was available for medical personnel, seniors, and other high risk people before he took office. It's inaccurate.

People, like Biden, were being vaccinated before he took office, not just from trials. There was a priority to the rollout. If you don't want to believe that, I can't help you.
Edit to add: If they had said "not readily available" I would have no issue with the statement.
his shot...and all good Americans who welcomed their new "President Elect" were glad he got it so quickly...a) because they elected him and want him to be safe while leading this country, and b) as a demonstration that he TRUSTED the vaccine...and so should they.
Think about this for a moment...to use another analogy...if a new car is announced and marketed with the company president riding in one, but no dealership has one...it's NOT AVAILABLE to you...do I have to go through all the other 'Testing/Production/Distribution...' examples of this very familiar analogy for you?
Really simple stuff, but you, Cole and Baron, among others, can't resist screwing things up.
