Amazon offered the Biden administration vaccine distribution assistance with its vast trove of nationwide resources moments after President Joe Biden was sworn into office on Wednesday. Amazon, the company said, was “ready to assist” with the new president’s goal to vaccinate 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of the new administration.
“We are prepared to leverage our operations, information technology, and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts,” Amazon’s CEO for worldwide consumer business Dave Clark wrote. “Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against COVID-19.”
Across the country, while localities have remained locked down, declaring livelihoods built on small businesses to be “nonessential,” corporations such as Amazon thrived in the elite-driven pandemic.
Amazon refused to say whether the company had given the Trump administration the same offer it gave Biden Wednesday, though Trump officials told Fox News that the previous White House, which conducted the Operation Warp Speed, was given no such letter proposing assistance.

Yeah, well, do any of us feel sorry for Mr. Bezos making his ex wife the richest woman in America ? It would not surprise me if Mr. Bezos craps on people daily and often. This from the man who also clearly supported mail in voting for the 2020 election. Funny thng is, he now clearly and publicly states that mail in voting would create too much cheating in the voting process for a union vote at an Amazon facility. Hmmmmm…. democrat double standard waggng a finger ? What’s good for a national election isn’t okay for an Amazon election ? He’s giving bald guys a bad name. (sarcasm)
