“We need to be honest — the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough for our nation.
Maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic,” Biden said during remarks in Wilmington, Delaware on Tuesday.
At the current pace, Biden said, “it’s gonna take years, not months, to vaccinate the American people.”President Donald Trump deflected Biden's critique.
Biden received his first dose of the vaccine on live television last week, and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received hers, also on television, on Tuesday.
Still, Biden warned that it would take months after he’s in office for Americans to see positive change in the course of the virus.
