In response to the Biden Administration commemorating the 50 millionth coronavirus vaccine shot, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“Fifty million vaccine shots in people’s arms is an important marker on the way towards getting this pandemic under control and ending this crisis.
“The road ahead continues to be long and difficult, made worse by Congressional Republicans’ determination to play political games with people’s lives as they attempt to obstruct President Biden’s overwhelmingly popular American Rescue Plan, which would boost funding for vaccine distribution.
“But the Biden administration is taking the lead, ramping up our national response, and slowly digging us out from the catastrophe left behind by the former Trump administration and their failures. It’s a far cry from the incompetence and misinformation the American people endured for almost an entire year.
“Today’s milestone is an important one that instills hope for a post-pandemic future and thanks to the hard work of the Biden administration, first responders, community leaders and organizations, and medical professionals around the country, we’re well on our way to being able to celebrate many more like it.”
