Amazon is offering to help President Biden hasten distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, inviting questions about whether the offer was ever made to the Trump administration. Amazon executive Dave Clark pitched the idea to Biden as soon as he took office in a Wednesday letter that also congratulated him on his inauguration. “We are prepared to leverage our operations, IT, & communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts. Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately,” Clark wrote.

Stop buying things from Amazon. Stop feeding the anti American beast.
There are lots of alternatives.

Better yet, #3, use Amazon as a purchase search engine. Find what you need on their website and then buy it directly from the manufacturer or distributor bypassing Amazon completely. Sure, they will get clicks on the site but no income from your purchases.

Poster #4 has the correct response to these fascists. I use Amazon to locate the product I want, then see if it is available at Walmart or Target. Also check the website of that products manufacturer. Generally all prices are equal to, or in many instances lower than Amazon anyway. With some orders you have to pick them up at the store, but they have special parking for you and they deliver to your vehicle. I have mobility problems, and Amazon was a great solution for me, but I will tolerate the pain of nerve damage to get in my vehicle and pick these products up as a way to fight fascism. Amazon needs to feel the loss of customers.

Not a good look for Amazon. If they had the capability to legitimately assist in the distribution of vaccines across the country Amazon should have offered their services to the Trump Administration when they knew that the Trump Administration was looking to partner with private industry and the vaccine distribution plan was being initiated. They did not, so it could be said that Americans, because of any distribution delay, may have died because they were not vaccinated and instead were infected with COVID with some dying.
It’s really to the benefit of monopolies like Amazon to cozy up to the Biden Administration, because they know that while the wimpy and currently powerless Republicans are all talk and no action, it would be the leftist and liberal Democrats who would go after monopolies that do not support the Democrats by going after those monopolies with enhanced anti-trust legislation.

Why, because Bezo thought the Americans were not worth saving under a different administration?

Amazon is doing this in order to move their employees to the top of the vaccine list. They are saying that their employees are essential.

Amazon is owned and run by wealthy, evil people who are callous enough to withhold lifesaving medicine for American citizens when they have the means. Their hatred of President Trump is toxic and stronger than their value of lives of citizens and ridding the country of the Chinese plague. What about peace, unity and coming together the left is preaching.

The grumbling over the distribution fiasco is growing louder. They can't even handle US distribution and now they are talking world-wide.
"C'mon man, you wanna live forever?"
I can't wait until Amazon's Spring quarterly results are out. I predict a major drop.

There was an Amazon warehouse in my hometown. Many people appreciated the job, but no one I ever met liked the work there.
Personally I will not buy anything ever from Amazon. Did you know Amazon also sells pornography?

Beware, #4. I spent a good bit of extra time seeking out a book seller to purchase my most recent book from that was NOT Amazon.
And yet, the book arrived in an Amazon box, shipped by Amazon.
Beware, huge numbers of sellers have Amazon doing their product warehousing, order processing and delivery. It is getting harder to avoid this horrible company.

Shouldn't the government be using the heavily subsidized USPS?
