Critics are blasting President Biden for taking credit for the COVID-19 vaccine rollout — and failing to thank former President Donald Trump for initiating Operation Warp Speed, which produced the jab within one year.
In his first prime-time address Thursday night, Biden praised his administration for taking a “war footing” when it comes to combating the virus, assuring that every American will be eligible for a vaccine starting May 1.
Pundits like Fox News host Sean Hannity took aim at Biden for trying “to take credit for everything that Donald Trump did on COVID-19,” noting that three vaccines were already in development by the time Biden took office.
“There were already a million vaccines being administered into people’s arms every single day when Biden was sworn in, 36 million doses had already been distributed,” Hannity said.
He continued, “Joe, you want unity? Why don’t you just thank Donald Trump? You want us all to get along, you say. No Trump, no vaccine, Joe. Stop trying to take credit for something, frankly, you had nothing to do with. Nothing.” --->READ MORE HERE
Should you wear masks? That depends on when you ask Fauci. And what else is going on at the time.
Fauci spent the pandemic trying to stake out multiple positions all the while operating under a fog of vagueness that made it all but impossible to pin him down on anything. He insisted on being the official expert, and yet offering little except doses of panic and reassurance with few facts embedded in them. To listen to a Fauci interview is to listen to a low-key sales pitch for a product without ever finding out what it is, what it does, or how much it's going to cost you, and then finding out that you bought it anyway. And no matter what's going on with the pandemic, Fauci's tone never changes.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday that had he known a year ago what the death toll from Covid-19 would be, "it would have shocked me completely," and blamed the politicization of safety measures and "mixed messages" out of Washington for the high number of fatalities.
Mixed messages from the master of mixed messages. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
