President Biden On Track To Surpass Vaccination Goal

 

     Since his inauguration less than three weeks ago, President Joe Biden has increased the supply of vaccines to states, tribes, and territories by nearly a third and ordered an additional 200 million vaccines while authorizing the Defense Production Act and setting up 250 community vaccination centers. As a result, nearly 1.5 million people are being vaccinated every day, a number that is continuing to go up.

     States like Wisconsin, which were left high and dry by the Trump administration, have gone from the bottom 10 to the top 10 in terms of vaccine distribution, and the expanded vaccine access will likely result in 150 to 200 million vaccines being administered by April 30th, well surpassing Biden's goal of 100 million.

     If the vaccine rollout, production of PPE, wearing of masks, and American Rescue Plan all succeed, we are likely to see life return to normal by September or October. The pre-pandemic full employment figure could be reached by mid-2022, finally putting an end to the suffering and paving the way for reforms like Puerto Rican statehood, a $15 minimum wage, criminal justice reforms such as legalizing marijuana, transportation repair, green energy, and other sought-after improvements.
