This particularly included coronavirus vaccine distribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter I promised 100 million COVID-19 vaccine shots in 100 days, we will have provided over 220 million COVID shots in 100 days with your help,\u201d Biden gloated. \u201cWe\u2019re marshaling every federal resource, we\u2019ve gotten the vaccine to nearly 40,000 pharmacies and over 700 community health centers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also took credit for the lowering of prescription drug costs. While Biden did acknowledge President Trump in his comments on prescription drug prices, he failed to mention four executive orders he signed in the summer of 2020 that did exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>In regards to prescription drug costs. , Biden failed to recognize the crisis at the southern border after reversing the work of President Trump in securing the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn day one of my Presidency, I kept my commitment to a comprehensive immigration bill to the U.S. Congress, \u201d Biden stated. \u201cIf you believe we need to secure the border then pass it because it has a lot of money in it for high tech border security.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FACT: President Biden\u2019s border policies have created the worst immigration crisis in 20 years. <\/p>\n<p>Despite this startling statistic, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> have chosen to delay action and turn a blind eye to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BidenBorderCrisis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BidenBorderCrisis<\/a>.
