Biden wants to lecture the President over how to distribute the coronavirus vaccine however, the former Vice President botched the Swine Flu vaccine in 2009.
THREAD: Joe Biden is now giving (unsolicited) “advise” on how to manufacture and distribute the coronavirus vaccine.
Given Biden’s totally-botched failure on the Swine Flu vaccine, no one should listen to him.
It was a disaster. Let’s review the headlines, shall we?

In October 2009 ABC News, NPR, Baltimore Sun, and The Wall Street Journal reported the Obama administration didn’t obtain enough vaccine doses for the swine flu.

The Administration was so embarrassed that Obama and Biden threw the CDC Director under the bus and forced him to apologize.

Biden’s public health advisor Ron Klain admitted that the administration screwed up. “We did every possible thing wrong,” said Klain. “It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history.”
