Amazon tries to get on Biden’s good side by offering to help with COVID vaccines

[Andy Meek]

• Amazon executive Dave Clark has sent a letter to President Biden on the day of his inauguration, offering Amazon's help with the federal government's continuing rollout of the coronavirus vaccine.
• Biden has pledged to work toward completing 100 million inoculations in the first 100 days of Biden's administration.
• White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci says Biden's coronavirus vaccine goal is very doable.

Amazon wasted no time in reaching out to America's newly inaugurated 46th president on Wednesday, with a key executive penning a note to Biden that offers to help with the new administration's daunting challenge of expanding and stepping up the coronavirus vaccine distribution. The letter immediately raised eyebrows, because it's led more than a few people to question why it didn't extend a similar offer to the Trump administration.

According to NBC News senior media reporter Dylan Byers, it doesn't appear that they did. In response to this letter to Biden officials, an Amazon representative told him that the company had been "in touch" with the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, as well as the Dept. of Health and Human Services, while not mentioning a similar direct appeal to President Trump. So what does the company's letter to Biden, in fact, contain?
