The centers for Disease Control is telling states to get ready for Vaccine Distribution on a large scale come november the 1st. Which vaccine . Dont know, but this is a firm date and, of course, its right before the election. And it is exactly two months to the election, and the two campaigns are in high gear. Joe biden has reversed himself.
