“They send them there. The thirty-six million is the same rate of one million a day, more than 100 days that President Biden offers or promises,” Siegel said.
Siegel added: ‘The problem was, on the other hand, getting it into people’s arms while people like Governor Cuomo were pushing stop signs, trying to get everyone around and get it off Pfizer. All of this could be helped by As you just said, Amazon helped get it into people’s arms from Operation Warp Speed and the federal government. This is something they can really help with. And it’s a shame that it took so long and that it seems to be political. ‘
