More Americans have died from COVID-19 under President Joe Biden than they did under then-President Donald Trump over the first nine months of the year, from 2020 to 2021, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.

Though several COVID vaccines have been available throughout Biden’s term and though he ran on a pledge to handle the pandemic better than his predecessor after taking office Jan. 20, the “Johns Hopkins’ Coronavirus Research Center reported that, as of Wednesday afternoon, 353,000 Americans had died this year,” the Washington Times reported Friday.

That is more than the 352,000 who died from March 2020 when the pandemic first began, to December, when the Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency authorization for the new vaccines developed under Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” program.

During a briefing to Congress last week, Coronavirus Research Center officials noted that though the Delta variant’s cases and hospitalizations have fallen for many weeks, there continues to be some vaccine hesitancy and testing of cases has declined as well.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
