Biden Calls Trump COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout A 'Dismal Failure'

United States President-elect, Joe Biden has called the current COVID-19 vaccine rollout by President Donald Trump a 'dismal failure' as he highlighted his $1.9 trillion plan to combat the pandemic and provide additional relief.

The President-elect who stated this on Friday said he will lay out his vaccination plan to correct course and meet the goal of 100 million shots at the end of his 100 days as U.S President.

According to him, "The vaccine roll out in the United States has been a dismal failure thus far. Tomorrow, I will lay out our vaccination plan to correct course and meet our goal of 100 million shots at the end of my first 100 days as President.

"We'll also provide more peace of mind for struggling families by extending unemployment insurance beyond the end of March for millions of workers.

"That means that 18 million Americans currently on unemployment benefits while they looked for work can count on these checks continuing to be there. Plus, it will be a $400 per week supplement, so people can make ends meet.

"One in seven households in America, more than one in five Black and Latino households in America, report they don't have enough food to eat. This includes 30 million adults and as many as 12 million children. It's wrong. It's tragic. It's unnecessary. It's unacceptable.

"Next week, we'll take action to extend nationwide restrictions on evictions and foreclosures. This will provide more than 25 million Americans greater stability instead of living on the edge every single month. And I'm asking Congress to do its part by funding rental assistance for 14 million hard-hit families and tenants.

"My fellow Americans, the decisions we make in the next few weeks and months are going to determine whether we thrive in a way that benefits all Americans."
