This is quite sickening.
Amazon in a recent announcement has said they’ll help distribute vaccines for the Biden administration.
Their decision has many people asking “why now?” considering they refused to offer their services to the Trump administration.

Fox News covered Amazon’s statement:
Shortly after President Joe Biden was sworn into office Wednesday, Amazon congratulated him on his inauguration and offered their extensive resources to help the new administration in its vaccination effort.
“As you begin your work leading the country out of the COVID-19 crisis, Amazon stands ready to assist you in reaching your goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of your administration,” Dave Clark, CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business, wrote in a letter to Biden Wednesday.
“We are prepared to leverage our operations, information technology and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts,” Clark continued. “Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against Covid-19, and we stand ready to assist you in this effort.”
Why did Amazon wait until Biden’s inauguration to offer help with vaccine distribution? https://t.co/fAEIyfKSap

NBC News chipped in too:
Amazon has extended an offer to President Joe Biden to assist with the national distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, a move that could expedite the federal effort to combat the pandemic.
Dave Clark, the CEO of Amazon’s consumer business, and one of the company’s highest-ranking executives, sent a letter to the president shortly after the inauguration Wednesday.
“As you begin your work leading the country out of the COVID-19 crisis, Amazon stands ready to assist you in reaching your goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of your administration,” he wrote in his letter, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News.
A reporter at the White House even confronted Dr. Fauci about Amazon’s decision to distribute the vaccines, take a look:
The first exchange between Dr. Anthony Fauci and @FoxNews’ new White House correspondent Peter Doocy was pretty, pretty, pretty good.https://t.co/YrtFs3dgoH pic.twitter.com/4Rx7pZJuWO
