Former President Donald Trump dissed the Biden administration Friday for failing to credit vaccine accomplishments under his administration prior to Jan. 20.
Trump described his efforts regarding vaccines as a “modern day miracle” after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance. Those who are vaccinated are no longer required to don face coverings inside and outside, regardless of crowd size, the CDC told the country Thursday.
Experts have posited that the recent change is one of the first signs that the United States is bouncing out of the monthslong pandemic, which has frustrated residents and left a trail of destruction.
“Isn’t it incredible that because of the vaccines, which I and my Administration came up with years ahead of schedule (despite the fact that everybody, including Fauci, said would never happen), that we no longer need masks, and yet our names are not even mentioned in what everybody is calling the modern day miracle of the vaccines?” Trump said in his tweemail.

President Joe Biden and his cohort “had zero to do with” the success generated by vaccine rollout, Trump added.
“Without the vaccines, this world would have been in for another 1917 Spanish Flu, where up to 100 million people died. Because of the vaccines we pushed and developed in record time, nothing like that will be even close to happening. Just a mention please!” he continued. “The Biden Administration had zero to do with it. All they did was continue our plan of distribution, which was working well right from the beginning!”
There have been 266,596,486 immunization doses administered in the U.S. out of 339,165,445 that have been distributed.

Those who have not been vaccinated need to continue to wear masks for the foreseeable future, Biden said Thursday.
“After a year of hard work and so much sacrifice, the rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do,” he wrote in a tweet.
