There’s a curious feature about this chart, however. Based on the scale, there were zero shots administered on Day 1 of the Biden administration. The chart is divided up into equal 50 million shot increments. So, it appears that on Biden’s “Day 1†there’d been none, when in there had already been more than 21 million shots administered.
The exact number of vaccine shots given by Jan. 20 was 21,746,697, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On the day Biden was sworn in, more than 1.5 million people got immunized. The seven-day rolling average on Jan. 20 was just shy of 1 million. By the end of January, and well before any Biden policies were implemented, the seven-day rolling average was close to 1.4 million. That was from a dead start in mid-December. (See chart below.)

As a matter of fact, the one big project Biden did undertake to speed up vaccination rates — creating mass vaccination sites — has been a complete bust.

But just this week, Politico reported that:
Despite the money the federal government has spent on the mass-vaccination pilot sites, they are administering just a fraction of the shots given across the country each day. Federal data show the retail pharmacy program — which has signed up 21 chains and 17,000 stores — can reach far more Americans in a shorter time, according to four senior officials with direct knowledge of the matter.
"Somebody" (
) posted a thread with that Politico article about
LIEden's "great" Federal mass-vax site initiative flopping. Aside from that flop,
nothing LIEden has done will have significant effect on the vaccination effort until May or June, because of how much Trump had already set in motion and got under contract. And even when things
LIEden has done start having effect, the three biggies - exercising purchase options with Pfizer and Moderna, and Merck starting to produce J&J's vaccine - were all set up or begun by Trump's OWS.
