Twitter allows WH Tweet that COVID vaccine wasn't available for Biden adm
- Thread starter anatta
- Start date
Observers were quick to point out the COVID-19 vaccine was, in fact, available when Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021. The same Twitter account even shared a video of then-president-elect Biden getting his second dose a week before Inauguration Day.
Twitter, which has taken steps to prevent misinformation on the platform, claims in its guidelines that users "may not use Twitter’s services to share false or misleading information about COVID-19 which may lead to harm."
The policy goes on to state that content related to COVID-19 is considered in violation if it’s "demonstrably false or misleading, based on widely available, authoritative sources." The social media juggernaut then explains that these type of violations could force users to become locked out of their account until the tweet is deleted, and a permanent suspension could be handed to repeat offenders.

President-elect Joe Biden plans to invoke the Defense Production Act after he takes office next month to boost production of Covid vaccines, a member of his Covid-19 advisory team said.
The wartime production law allows the president to compel companies to prioritize manufacturing for national security purposes.
It could help U.S. secure components and specialized products that manufacturers need to produce the vaccines.

To be fair, the Trump admin's pace of actually getting it out to the public was anemic. As usual, Trump threw up his hands and said it wasn't his responsibility, and blamed a lot of other people.
In Biden's first week, they ramped it up exponentially. 100 million in the 1st 100 days.

“A former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and a member of Pfizer’s board of directors said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration declined to secure millions of additional doses of Pfizer and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine when it had the chance.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC that the White House declined “multiple” offers from Pfizer to strike a deal on more vaccines for the second quarter of 2021. Gottlieb’s statements came after The New York Times and The Associated Press reported that the Trump administration months ago did not lock in the chance to purchase millions of additional doses of Pfizer’s vaccine, which has shown to be highly effective against Covid-19.”

We couldn't have possibly had a worse President during a pandemic.
I have no problem w/ the Biden tweet. He got the vaccine out to people quickly. His only obstacle was people who wouldn't get it because Trump convinced them that COVID was a hoax.

Well there's no Crony Capitalist big money to be made like that, don'tcha know!
I love the right's meltdowns! 
So when was the vaccine finally approved by the FDA?
Asking for a friend who refused to take it until they actually approved it using the standard process.
By the way, the vaccine was not available for most people in January of 2021. It certainly wasn't available for most of the working age population. It wasn't available to purchase by any government since production was less than half what was promised.
