‘More people may die’: Biden talks tough on Trump obstruction

By Nikhila Natarajan New York, Nov 17 : US President-elect Joe Biden warned Monday of terrible loss of human lives if the Donald Trump administration continues to stonewall on a smooth transition of power.
Biden warned that if his team risks being “behind, over a month, month and a half” if Trump refuses to help the transition along. The “huge, huge undertaking,” of vaccine distribution will be badly hit, Biden told reporters during a news conference in Wilmington, Delaware.
“More people may die if we don’t coordinate,” Biden said.
Fresh off his election victory, Biden is talking tougher each day on the virus and the economy.
Trump, who continues to insist that the 2020 election was “rigged” and “stolen”, has refused to work with the Biden transition team on crucial issues including next steps on coronavirus vaccine distribution, national security and matters of economic policy.
Biden’s remarks come on a day when a second vaccine is on the horizon. Moderna announced today that its vaccine candidate has achieved almost 95 percent efficacy in clinical trials.
