White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced Thursday morning that “President Biden tested positive for COVID-19” but assured the American people that he is “fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms.” This announcement comes exactly one year after Biden told people they wouldn’t get Covid if they were vaccinated.
Here are four of Biden’s biggest vaccine lies to date.
1. “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
In January, Biden said, “There’s no excuse — no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated. This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
In fact, Biden echoed the phrase ad nauseam — and even admitted that he says it “constantly.” But after Biden and his fellow Covid tyrants shamed other Americans who declined to get a shot and blamed them for the Covid virus’ persistent existence, the constant positive tests of the double-boosted show that blame game had no basis in reality.
2. “You’re not gonna get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”
While Biden sometimes qualified his claims that the Covid-19 vaccines prevented infection, on at least one occasion, he claimed the vaccines were 100 percent effective. “You’re ok, you’re not gonna — you’re not gonna get Covid if you have these vaccinations,” Biden said.
The claim was so blatantly false that even Snopes acknowledged that “Biden overstated the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccinations.” Rather than rating Biden’s claim as false, though, Snopes marked it with a green checkmark and insisted the claim was a “Correct Attribution.”
3. “When President Biden took office … there was no vaccine available.”
Just this May, the White House said in a tweet that “When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.” The claim was so blatantly false that the White House later corrected it.
Fox News reported that Biden also made this false claim in a CNN town hall, with White House Correspondent Kevin Corke noting Biden “received two vaccine shots himself while President Trump was still in the White House.”
4. People who are vaccinated “do not spread the disease to anybody else.”
Biden also claimed that people who are vaccinated do not spread Covid, insisting “We’re making sure health care workers are vaccinated because if you seek care at a health care facility, you should have the certainty that the people providing that care are protected from COVID and cannot spread it to you.”
He later repeated the claim. “Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a shot, or have a test,” Biden said. “Well, guess what, how about patriotism? How about making sure that you’re vaccinated so you do not spread the disease to anybody else? What about that? What’s the big deal?”
Yet, Jean-Pierre announced that Biden “will continue to work in isolation until he tests negative” and that “the White House Medical Unit will inform all close contacts of the President” about the positive test. These protocols would obviously be unnecessary if people who have received the Covid shot actually could not spread the virus.
