Setting a record for screwing up before even taking office...a historical first.
The roller coaster is going to derail this time around.

You are surprised that Joe is dumb?
The interesting question is who is actually in charge of Joe, and how much they can actually control him. He's a tough case, because he's senile and uninhibited and has always been a blowhard expert about everything. And usually wrong.
Expect some great books some day.

??????????? I thought you were a Biden supporter!
Same entities who controlled all the rest up until Trump.
He will resign on January 21 2023.
Less than 2 years doesn't count as a term for Harris.
What different does it make? The states are still holding more than half of what they received. At this rate of vaccination, we will still be in lockdown by the end of the year.
He has already mentioned playing sick and resigning. I think he wasn't supposed to say that.
He's wanted to be President his whole life. I suspect a deal was made, you get to be President for a while then resign in favor of the FPOC we really wanted but couldn't get elected.

I think most Presidents have wanted to be President their whole lives. If not of the United States, at least president of a homeowner's association or something. Or maybe a Usenet administrator.

Yes, clearly no one controls Trmp, not even himself.

first.
It's essentially what Boris Johnson has done in the UK, to get twice as ma ny people immunised as early as possible, at the risk that second dose that sustains the immunity may come a bit late. If the vaccines are rolling off the production line as reliably as they seem to be, it's defensible gamble - Covid-19 is killing people at a great rate in the USA
and slowing that down does seem to a sensible goal.

Its not actually a dumb choice. Boris Johnson has made the same calculation and opted to protect as many people as soon as possible, at the risk of deliering sone of the second doses a bit late,
It's an interesting question for conspiracy theory nut-cases. Nobody with any sense is going to worry about it.
John Larkin is a gullible sucker for all kinds of implausible propaganda.Trump spent money on claiming that Joe Biden was senile, but he wasn't nearly senile enough to lose the election.
John Larkin's idea of a great book is one that spends a lot of time flattering the reader.

al first.
That would have been the US electorate. They didn't have all that much cont rol - the US executive presidency essentially allows the administration to act like lunatics for four years at a time - but Trump screwed up royally e nough to get himself booted out after that four years.
-- Bill Sloman, Sydney
That is actually not dumb
In Denmark they digged into the vaccine trial and found that instead of having the second shot after 3 weeks, the effect was almost as good after 12 weeks. That means you can protect 4 fold as many people on the first batch

I thought we were discussing Biden not Trump...
The trouble the USA has, is people like you who want to politicise and divide /everything/.
Sane, rational people are happy to say "I mostly agree with this politician and disapprove of that one, but in this particular case my choice of political leader got it wrong".
You are allowed to say "I fully support Trump, except for his habit of wearing a dead squirrel on his head" or "I fully support Biden, but think it's more important to be sure of giving the first vaccinated people their second dose than to give more people their first dose sooner".
(Fred can tell you himself whether or not he supports Biden, of course.)
Of course it is not dumb.
Biden is listening to the health experts here - trying to get the best advice available based on reality and science, rather than based on what he thinks will make him more popular.
(That doesn't mean the health experts are always going to be right - it's hard to predict long-term effects without waiting a long time to see the results. It is merely the best bet we have.)
The same thing is happening elsewhere.
If second dose candidates get over-riding priority in distribution, it can make sense.
Otherwise, anything varying from 'use as directed' is moronic.
