Joe Biden Spews Lies About the Unvaccinated During His Bumbling COVID Speech – Opinion

As RedState reported earlier, Joe Biden gave a speech today in which he outlined his “plan” to combat the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Included were outright lies about what is happening in South Africa, where the actual data shows dropping hospitalization rates despite the nation’s heavy caseload.

This isn’t surprising, given Biden’s willingness to adopt such an approach. Biden sees coronavirus like any other person in power. He can profit from it as a constant crisis. Because Omicron’s apparent lack of virulence points toward a way out of the pandemic, the desperation in the president’s rhetoric must escalate. That’s because he needs a scapegoat for his failed policies, and the continued existence of the pandemic affords him the perfect one: The “unvaccinated.”

Biden immediately attacked those who were not vaccinated. He managed to squeeze a lot of lies into his short speech. This must have been the morning after the President ate his Wheaties.

Everyone spreads COVID. Variants do not become “more dangerous.” The unvaccinated are not putting the vaccinated at risk because…they are vaccinated. There is no evidence that people suffering from cancer are being left in hospitals, and they aren’t overcrowded. You can’t tell the truth. https://t.co/UihC5FNKbN

Yet again we hear anti-science stories about unvaccinated individuals putting other people at risk. Yet, as I’ve written multiple times, not based on my opinion but based on objective sourcing, everyone spreads COVID. The ignorant notion that unvaccinated people are somehow placing others at risk through their interactions with the public is absurd. To the extent that vaccinations are necessary for some people, it’s because they themselves require protection. However, just because someone is vaccinated does NOT protect their coworker. That’s even more true now given how transmissible Omicron is.

Biden will say this rubbish, but it’s because it lets him pit Americans against one another. That’s always the goal with Democrats. Unvaccinated people are a distraction from the many economic and foreign policy mistakes that plague the Biden administration. As long as there’s a pandemic and there are unvaccinated people, even those with scientifically proven natural immunity, the president feels as if he’s got someone to blame for everything. It doesn’t matter that his proclamations aren’t backed by data.

As to this notion that the unvaccinated are going to cause “more deadly” variants, we again have real-world data that counters that. While it’s possible a virus can mutate and become more deadly, it’s more common for viruses to become less virulent and more transmissible. This is what COVID has shown from Alpha to Delta and Omicron. We have data to prove it. Biden, however, demonizes and fear-mongers.

Another issue was misinformation about hospitals. Biden falsely portrayed them as overcrowding, where non-COVID patient needing treatment are denied it. But I’m unaware of a single instance of a cancer patient or victim of a heart attack (those are the examples he gave) outright being unable to receive treatment anywhere due to having too many COVID patients. While that’s a favorite line of the left, it seems to lack much in the way of evidence.

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s Northwell Health’s CEO commenting on the situation in New York, where one of the country’s largest outbreaks is occurring.

In summary, Joe Biden is a liar, but it’s worse than that. He’s willing to lie in ways that directly and dangerously target normal Americans just trying to live their lives. It isn’t evil to not be vaccinated. They don’t deserve to have their lives ruined. They are not putting the vaccinated at risk because…they are vaccinated. A lot of people unvaccinated already have immunity from previous infection.

But Biden needs that punching bag, and he’s going to keep punching it until people say enough is enough. Non-compliance with Biden’s edicts is the best way to achieve that. This buffoon is not to be trusted.
