President Joe Biden on Thursday celebrated 50 million Covid-19 vaccines administered since he took office, saying the rollout is “weeks ahead of schedule,” but warning Americans to keep masking up.

Biden came into office promising 100 million shots administered in his first 100 days, something critics said was an insufficiently ambitious target, but the White House says it is now on track easily to exceed.

“We’re moving in the right direction despite the mess we inherited,” Biden said, referring to the situation under his predecessor Donald Trump.

The United States is the world’s hardest hit country, with coronavirus deaths crossing the 500,000 mark earlier this week.

8. So thankful to have Joe at the wheel.

Imagine if the pandemic surfaced in 2017, at the beginning of Pissolini's term of office.

9. See conservatives? This is what competent leadership looks like!

10. Will Chuck Todd go on air

and promote this as a Biden success? After all, a month ago, he said that if Biden doesn't hit his goal of 100 million in 100 days, it means Biden has been a failed presidency. Or, will Chuck move the goal posts again?
