(Worthy News) – Despite the U.S. last week averaged more than 912,000 daily vaccinations against COVIOD-19, President Biden said Thursday that “the rollout has been a dismal failure so far.”
“Things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. We didn’t get into this mess overnight and it’s going to take months to turn it around,” Biden said in an address from the White House.
