Joe Biden based his entire 2020 presidential campaign on the promise he would solve COVID by trusting “the science”. That was all lip service. 2021 began with the hope that miraculous vaccines developed under the previous administration, would end the pandemic. Vaccines alone will not end the pandemic and that is something Biden does not understand.
President Joe Biden has been infected by COVID twice. He was fully vaccinated and got they best medical treatment possible. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stunned reporters on July 21 2021 when she brushed off an inquiry about how President Biden caught COVID-19, saying: “I don’t think that matters.” This is an example of how the administration gaslights and downplays the virus.
Since Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021, over 717,354 Americans have died from COVID-19. That is as of February 22, 2023 according to the CDC data tracker. Since about 500 people are dying every week we can assume that number is more like 718,354 today. According to Our World in data, 806,439 Americans died while Donald Trump was president, so he still leads in his ability to kill his voters.
Biden said, “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit and you’re not going to die.” This is simply not true. Though vaccines reduce the likelihood of infection, serious illness and death, they are not a guarantee. Breakthrough infections are common and vaccinated individuals are dying more often than unvaccinated individuals. In August of 2022 vaccinated individuals accounted for 58% of COVID deaths.
Biden said, “I sometimes underestimate it (COVID), because I stopped thinking about it, but I’m sure you don’t: we lost 1 – over 1 million people in several years to COVID.” His policy clearly has been to ignore the ongoing pandemic and claim it is “over” despite over 500 deaths a week. This is the mindset of a fascist who does not value life. I voted for him and had high hopes but he has dropped the ball and chosen ignorance and death.
Biden intends to end the COVID public health emergency on May 11, 2023. The public health emergency should only end when the ventilation, air disinfection, N95 masking, and an updated variant-proof infection-stopping vaccine are available to everyone around the world!
