As stated and in the article, Biden exercised options in Trump;s contract. Thus secured the option for future orders even if not exercising them at that time. Have we not covered this a couple times over? Trump did not allow the country to give the farm away to just one company. You need to see Biden exercising Trump options as a Biden so everything must come out that way for you. There is no Joe Biden vaccine. None. Nor does it become Joe Biden vaccine if Joe orders troops to administer the Trump vaccine, although that ploy also works for you, per the script.
Just one jab if you have already had covid? I guess I can see that practice becoming widespread as we go forward. Not ideal, but the world is not in an ideal situation. I can foresee times ahead too where the recommendation is that if you had the jab but it did not have xyz variant then you need another one. I imagine also, that at some point in the near future the flu shot will become a combine flu/covid booster shot. And so it goes, and probably will for a few more years to come until the virus ceases to be novel virus for the bulk of the human population.

Quote from NBC article: Under its contract with Pfizer, the Trump administration committed to buy an initial 100 million doses, with an option to purchase as many as five times more.
Y'all may recall to that there was considerable criticism - including from the usual suspects here- about whether Trump should be committing big dollars for a vaccine from Pfizer that had very hefty and delicate handling and storage requirements. There have been problems and there has also been success in overcoming those problems but Trump had several valid reasons for keeping the pressure up on Pfizer while also being cautious. You can be damned sure that if he had exercised all options before the kinks were worked out that the aforementioned usual suspects would be having a field day with that too. Sleepy Joe showed up after the vaccines were mostly developed. As we know, they were "following the science over at the CDC and FDA" and that is why they could not announce approvals until after election day.
Vaccine arriving at Walmarts in rural America, per Trump plan and agreements with the pharmacies. Also includes Rite-Aid, Costco, Walgreens, Kroegers, CVS, and the other usual suspects. Walmart’s Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout Heads to Small Towns Retail giant gave out its first doses Friday, many in medically underserved areas like central Maine; ‘I’m ready to pull my hair out’ https://www.wsj.com/articles/walmarts-covid-19-vaccine-rollout-heads-to-small-towns-11613298604
Interesting to note that multiple pharmacies stated they never heard from the Trump administration despite Trump claiming he involved them. The pharmacies only heard from the Federal government to get plans in gear after Biden was in office.
Really, they were all listed on the government web site as having signed on in November. I guess no one told them that they had signed on. We had this type of discussion before when I mentioned that Trump had reached an agreement including Walgreens and CVS. You or others alleged that they knew nothing about it. Funny though how the rest of the world saw them on the stage with Trump in a joint news conference. No doubt though that many of them know how to play the game for future contracts though and that is by playing up Biden's role. Pathetic. The reality is though that they signed on in November - period. All the ones I listed and more. As I have pointed out before, this country does 3 million flu shots a day in peak season through the private pharmacies. Joe's goal of a million a day - that got bumped up to 1.5 million when he was challenged- is well within the existing capability when supported by adequate supply. If Joe wants to put some army people there with camouflage and combat boots to make it look new and different and dramatic, we know that that works for you. For the rest of the people, just the vaccine is needed. Pathetic man. Just rejoice in the progress being made and stop worrying about Trump and whether Joe is getting credit or not.
