Joe Biden’s Latest COVID Speech Is a Derogatory, Lie-Filled Mess That Ignores Key Data – Opinion

As RedState reported earlier, Joe Biden hobbled over to his creepy fake White House set today, loaded up some fake snow in his fake windows, and then set out to insult everyone’s intelligence. He trashed the unvaccinated, falsely claimed we can test our way out of the pandemic, and had several mental breakdowns, with the appearance of Biden’s senility just being expected at this point.

In short, to the extent that the president said anything intelligible at all, none of it was surprising or new, and that’s what really struck me the most about it. It wasn’t just that it wasn’t new. It was simply a repeat of statements from the past that were largely out-of-date and not supported by current data on the coronavirus.

I won’t post every example as this article isn’t meant to be a round-up of his comments, but his continued insistence that we are in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” was probably the best example. Here’s what that sounded like.

That’s just laughably untrue. In fact, one of our editors here is fully vaccinated and currently has COVID-19 (she posted it on Twitter, so I think I’m good to share that). Further, one look at New York’s record-breaking case numbers will show you that the vaccinated are clearly getting the coronavirus at extremely high rates. Based on Miami reporting, even if Biden was referring to hospitalizations only, nearly 25% of them are vaccinated.

A major Miami-area hospital network reports who is a covid patient
* 50% are incidental (“with” covid)
* 22% of all covid hospitalizations (incidental and non-incidental) are vaccinated; 48% of vaccinated covid patients are immunocompromised transplant patients. https://t.co/Wq1wsBDpqO

That’s not to say that those in certain risk categories don’t have a higher chance of hospitalization or death if they remain unvaccinated, but it is to say that calling this a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is just patently false. The data clearly shows that the majority of COVID is being spread by the unvaccinated. These people also account for a significant portion of hospitalizations.

In light of that, Biden’s divisive attempt to continue to blame everything on the unvaccinated has crossed into the realm of being outright slanderous. It’s the kind of thing you’d have expected to hear in January of 2021, not in January of 2022 — where we know that everyone spreads COVID and that the unvaccinated do not pose a unique risk to the vaccinated.

Furthermore, Biden’s comments regarding the virus control and insisting that testing would somehow help make a difference all seem to be from March 2020. Biden appears to think that it’s 2020, which is odd.

BIDEN: “Schools can and should be open this winter; we have all the tools to keep kids safe. … There’s a lot of reason to be hopeful in 2020. But for God’s sake, please take advantage of what’s available. Please. You’re going to save lives, maybe yours, maybe your child’s.” pic.twitter.com/BlVKQKxBHQ

All this dumbness adds up to an idiot president that believes in a number of false quasi-religious beliefs about COVID. I’ve already covered his claims about the unvaccinated, but when it comes to testing (which is what he’s addressing in the above clip), there is simply no reason to be testing asymptomatic children as a prerequisite for attending school. This is wasteful and ineffective. These actions only spread panic and fear in places where they aren’t needed. The case numbers don’t really matter at the moment. There are still very few risks to children.

Lastly, let’s note that Biden still refuses to acknowledge the existence of natural immunity when discussing the much-maligned unvaccinated. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci reluctantly admitted its efficacy last weekend while discussing South Africa’s speedy victory over Omicron. But that’s apparently a bridge too far for Biden, who relishes in trashing the unvaccinated; facts need not apply.

Honestly, I’m left wondering which one of Biden’s handlers thinks it’s a good idea to keep trotting him out to repeat all these same, outdated falsehoods. These awkward appearances are what? It’s certainly not helping his approval ratings, and in the end, he’s only creating more distrust in the government’s response.
