Raw Story: US President Joe Biden pledged to have 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines administered by the end of his first 100 days in office at his first formal news conference since his inauguration in January. Watch FRANCE 24’s live coverage here.
Biden’s goal seems ambitious, but it actually amounts to a continuation of the country’s existing pace of vaccinations through the end of month. The US is now averaging about 2.5 million doses per day.
A higher vaccination rate seems achievable. Over the next month, two of the bottlenecks to getting Americans vaccinated are set to be lifted. The US supply of vaccines is on track to increase and states are lifting eligibility requirements for people to get the shots.
The “fundamental problem is giving people piece of mind” amid a Covid-19 pandemic that has caused more than 500,000 deaths, Biden said.
Biden is the first president in four decades to reach this point in his term without having conducted such a question-and-answer session. The president is set to meet with reporters for the nationally televised afternoon event in the East Room.
Biden has been on pace with his predecessors in taking questions from the press in other formats. But he tends to field just one or two informal inquiries at a time, usually in a hurried setting at the end of an event or in front of a whirring helicopter.
A pair of mass shootings, rising international tensions, signs of divisions within the Democratic Party, new North Korean missile tests and a large increase in numbers of migrants crossing the USA’s southern border are all confronting a West Wing known for its tight message discipline. read more…

No thanks. I do not accept drugs from people who lie about them to me. ANY drugs. Cure jungle rot in 48 hours without relapse with a hydrogen peroxide rinse at night and a white vinegar rinse 12 hours later. No more. No less. This will kill fungus and staph and strep and give your body a clean germ free environment to do its stuff and rebuild. The local Rockefeller clinic milked my wound for 2 months (over $800.00 of tax payers’ money) until I asked a local what they did to cure jungle rot. 48 hours later, it was gone, with ZERO recurrence. I used about $0.50 of the vinegar and peroxide, combined. Gates, Faucifraud and others deserve prison. Nail the Pirbright Institute and Charles M. Lieber too. I aced Microbiology at school. Keep them slaving at the salt mine between lashes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnvyMe2fY7k
