Still blaming the President lol

Maybe I missed it but Pfizer was counting on 5/vial found they could get 6...but Trump is responsible for the FDA permitting label to say 6 not 5 so Trump’s fault we have less shots even though Pfizer is sending the same number of doses...maybe unbiased is something to look into
