Angry Joe Biden Lashes Out After People Begin Doubting COVID Shots

The President urged for increased dialogue about the importance of investing in research and development. This led him to address the issue of vaccine hesitancy.

Biden expressed frustration at the rise of vaccine deniers, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which claimed over a million American lives. He urged public figures from all political backgrounds to be cautious about making inflammatory statements regarding vaccines, emphasizing the importance of saving lives.

It is worth noting that the World Health Organization reported over 1.1 million COVID-related deaths in the U.S., though some doubt the accuracy of this figure due to data collection issues.

Despite the focus on COVID-19 vaccines, Biden was criticized for not giving more attention to the opioid and fentanyl crisis, which has claimed around a million lives in the U.S. since 1999, with over 100,000 deaths in 2021 alone. Critics argue that serious border control, drug enforcement, and law enforcement policies could help address this crisis, but these measures have not been put in place.

According to the White House transcript of the event, Furthermore, despite efforts to promote widespread vaccination, the U.S. experienced higher COVID-19 death rates compared to many other wealthy nations, as reported by The New York Times in 2022. This discrepancy raises questions about the efficacy of vaccination campaigns.

The push to increase vaccine uptake through various measures, including threats of job loss, loss of freedoms, and education disruptions, did not achieve the desired results. Many state governments employed these tactics with limited success, and the federal government also implemented measures like discharging unvaccinated soldiers, closing federal offices, and proposing vaccine mandates in Washington, D.C.

Critics argue that Biden’s continued emphasis on vaccines may be more about exerting control than preventing disease, suggesting that he may regret not having greater coercive powers like other nations during the peak of the pandemic.
