After the tour, Biden took the time to urge Americans to get the vaccine, especially Black Americans who still express skepticism about the safety of the vaccine.
"We all know the history in the country that in the past we have subjected certain communities to terrible medical abuse," Biden said. He probably refers to the infamous secret US government 'Tuskegee experiment' in the 1930s over 600 black men who left them untreated with syphilis for decades.'But if there is one message to everyone in this country, it is this: The vaccines are safe. Take yourself, your family, your community, this country, the vaccination if it is your turn and available. That's how to overcome this pandemic, 'Biden said.
Biden set a goal to deliver 100 million shots in the first 100 days of his administration, and it seemed like it could be easily achieved before the storms.
The United States administered an average of 1.7 million doses per day in the week ending Tuesday, but bad weather forced many injection sites to close temporarily, from Texas to New England, and sent the necessary doses. It remains unclear how long it will take to recover from the effects of the weather-related delays.
