Biden can make an order like having 100 million vaccines created by the end of his first 100 days in office.

I disagreed with this because 100 days isn't enough to make 100 millions of them, but it could be if in terrible quality or not fully going into the phrase of making a vaccine. Biden hasn't experienced what it's like to be president, so putting that pressure on him would make it even harder. To put in one sentence, I disagree because the vaccine is not guaranteed safe and our president would be absent a lot because of holding the pressure.
