Replies to: I’m going to shut down the virus
These kinds of threads only go to prove, Trump could get away with anything. You'd all support him
no matter what, never seeing that though Biden isn't the greatest, he is someone who is actually working for the American people
and not for some sort of family glut.
But the question is why? Why is it the insanity that is Trump is something to support - he lied tens of thousands of times misleading this
country in areas, is selfish, insulting, stupid, and on and on and none of this is made up, it's all well documented, video evidence galore
- then there's Biden, he makes a few gaffs every now and again.
You have the IQ of paint.

That's a good one - I tend to believe it's very bright paint.

Fair criticism. Tough to shut it down though when 30% of the nation won’t take the vax that would go
a long way in doing just that. And of course we can’t have mandates. Freedom!!!
Vaccinations won't stop the spread of the current strain
Omicron will infect vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, and will also be spread by both.
You can't blame the unvaccinated for the spread of what's becoming the more predominant strain.
Stop spread, perhaps not, but it may help limit it. It will stop it from causing significant
symptoms, filling hospitals, and causing unnecessary deaths.
It was a ludicrous claim. Period.
Nobody / nothing could possibly 'end' the virus, no matter what they did, regardless of vaccines or shutdowns or anything.
Yet Biden freely and repeatedly made that claim, and went completely unchecked.
Only now he says 'Whoops, sorry. Nothing I can do about it.' And the press will give him a pass, again.
Oh please. He didn’t say he would end it first off.
Secondly the response was to the claim that he wanted to shut down the country which he didn’t do. His response is was he would shut down the virus which LARGELY could have happened were it not for the vax refusalists. As unusual, you make a bigger deal out of it than it’s worth.
Not even remotely true Mr. Republican.

Realistically, there was never a chance to "shut down" this highly contagious respiratory disease.
Omicron would still exist even if there was 100% vax compliance in the US. Zero-covid was never a possibility for the USA or any free society not located on a remote island in the South Pacific.
There was a chance though to shut down it overwhelming our hospitals and killing as many people.
For those vaxxed and boosted Onicron is essentially a flu if they even get it.

Scroll down to chart re % vaccinated population vs death rate.
"This all suggests that the change in who is dying from Covid-19 may be tied to which areas experienced the worst outbreaks of the Delta variant and who in those areas remains unvaccinated. Relaxed precautions in many areas may also play a role.
When vaccination rates and behavior changes are not enough to stop the virus from spreading, those infections are much more likely to lead to hospitalization and death for unvaccinated people. The latest data from the C.D.C., which is based on data from 25 states and cities, shows that the death rate for unvaccinated people is 14 times as high as that for vaccinated people."

And more ...
"The welcome news for most people who are vaccinated and boosted is that omicron infections often mimic the symptoms of the common cold. Those with two shots of vaccine, but no booster, also appear to fare relatively well, though they may develop more intense symptoms that may last longer, experts said.
Of the 205 million Americans who have been vaccinated, about 66 million, or 32 percent, have received a booster dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a series of Twitter posts, Craig Spencer, who teaches emergency medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, said every boosted patient he has seen in the emergency room has had no difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Those who have had two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines also have had mild symptoms, he said, “but more than those who had received a third dose.”
But almost every patient who had to be hospitalized was unvaccinated, he said.
“No matter your political affiliation, or thoughts on masks, or where you live in this country, as an ER doctor you’d trust with your life if you rolled into my emergency room at 3am, I promise you that you’d rather face the oncoming Omicron wave vaccinated,” Spencer wrote."

Stop making sense.

I wonder why Biden thought he could stop covid. Maybe something to do with fooling his voters.
Like Gruber revealed, the Dems rely on their voters being stupid: "Call it the stupidity of the American voter..."
Funny you trying to pass of the stupidity of the American voter after the year 2000, and 2016.
You really have a sense of humor.
The summer rioting is the issue, people were willing to lock down then all the gaslighting happened
with the "you can't spread the disease rioting" bullshit red pilled everyone
“It’s going to disappear, it’s disappearing.
The country will open up by easter, once summer comes it will be gone. But the whole thing is a liberal hoax.”
I’ll take my cue from Biden, thanks all the same. In the least he recognizes the danger the virus is.
Wear a mask!

As Snopes noted -
"Context
During the same public appearance, Biden also stated, accurately, that vaccinated people are less likely to catch the virus than unvaccinated people and, if they do catch it, are less likely to get sick."
Was it a mistake to say it? Yes - but in context to the rest of the townhall statement, the context of being vaccinated. But you all will dwell on something immediately corrected rather than hearing the message.
A message by the way that was completely the opposite of the message coming out of the Whitehouse in the last admin. and the GOP always.
Our "fact-checkers" have become contortionist apologists and phrase and word parsers.
And we desperately need fact-checkers of the fact-checkers.
One of the serial masturbators on CNN boastfully claimed fact checking was no longer required....
In the age of Biden. So there's that...
I choose you to be the factcheckers, factchecker. Especially with the Hollywood elite and Dem baby
eaters.
You're right there with your finger on the pulse of a pedophile nation.
I already have that job here. You must have missed it. I appointed myself the Fact Czar in like 2018

Which is why no one trusts fact checkers.

Wear two masks! Avoid strangers! Avoid unvaccinated family members! Do not hire the unvaccinated!
Double check that your children's friends are vaccinated! Empahsize the dangers to your children everyday! Make sure your friends' views on vaccinations, boosters, and mandates conform to your own! Instruct dissenters to "educate yourselves!"
If we can all pull together and unite in this fashion, Joe will steer us through this hazard-laden maze of death and suffering!
Indeed. Remember when they were making people wear masks outside...because of supposed "science"...
,,,that didn't exist.
Forget about the CDC, they've done incalculable damage to public belief/trust in science, period.
Among other things, they will provoke more people to avoid other vaccinations.
"incalculable damage" - Rrrrrriiiiiight! let's compare to mister 3D chess.
And these up against what the CDC message was. Thanks for the opportunity to repost these.
One day we wake up and it will just be magically gone. Please.

Right, not dying from C19 is a bad thing. 815 thousand are saying the same thing. It's just a flu.

No measure should be off the table to spare a life! Fear is our friend!
Out of curiosity, do you avoid two-lane highways at all costs when a four-lane is available, even if it means a longer trip? Do you wear a helmet when you drive, if you drive? Do you meet or exceed the recommended cancer screenings each year? Do you perform self-exams? Are you diligent about avoiding the sun at peak daylight times if you have no sunblock on your face and body? Do you abstain from red meat?
As you've probably figured out, I'm listing things that are far more likely to kill you. 800,000 lives lost to a pandemic is tragic, but pales in comparison to pandemics/plagues that have attacked mankind in the past, but, frankly, people in the West were much tougher back then and far less apt to whine and panic. We had a pandemic in 1957/58 in the United States that claimed 100,000 lives, when our total population was about half of what it is now. There were no lockdowns or mask mandates. The sole focus of the federal government was to develop an effective vaccine, and they accomplished that, and the fact that you've probably never heard of that one illustrates what I wrote above about there being far fewer snowflakes back then. People just dealt with it. When you know things about history, you are less apt to place yourself among the sky is falling crowd and resort to histrionics and scapegoating of groups for something like a global pandemic. No group in our country is to blame for any of this and there are currently places in our nation where the vaccinated are experiencing higher rates of infection than the unvaccinated. It's called Mother Nature, and you should count your blessings everyday that you had the great fortune to be born where you were born and that something of such infinitesimally small risk to you constitutes the biggest risk that you perceive to your life. Try living in 80% of the other places on earth and see how your perspective changes on risks and life in general.
Football players never wore helmets in the beginning, they just dealt with their bell being rung.
Do you watch football today?
Funny how the advancement in our knowledge of daily life changes things around the globe.
Funny how the easier life gets for us, the more miserable and fearful we become.
It's almost like comfort breeds a need to find grim dangers, even when grim dangers are barely present.
But yes, Jim, you sure have it rough, as do we all, living through this terror with the specter of viral death resting on every stranger's and every unvaccinated loved one's shoulders. What I would do if I were you would be too lock the doors and contort yourself into the fetal position and ruminate about slow viral death and what will happen in Trump is elected in 2024, at which point, life will be over. And do it wearing a mask, of course.
You naming all those contagions like cancer and auto accidents is really where we are with C19.
You forgot lightning strikes, kids drowning in pools, shark attacks, skydiving and guns.
And, by the way, we see the greatest dichotomy of the genders here, as well.
The messages that your party puts forth on COVID are far more appealing to women than men. The, "If it saves one life, lockdowns/mandates/etc. are worth it" argument will always appeal to women more than men. Complete safety and security will always appeal to women more than men. "Lived experience" over data will always appeal to women more than men.
It's no accident that lefties are more neurotic and thus more irrationally-attached to the idea...
that COVID is a grave threat, in spite of the evidence.
Didn't you have it early on? Son of a gun. You pulled through it. Go figure. You should be the person here speaking to the need to put this in perspective and not be hysterical and irrational in assessing the relative danger of it.
I said it before: the single best moment of Trump's term was after he recovered from his COVID infection and stated that we should not be scared and that we can recover if we become infected, instead of speaking pessimistically and fearmongering. As a leader, you try to calm people, not alarm people with something like a pandemic. Your tribal leaders, probably wisely, perpetuate fear because the base is composed of millions of people who subsist on fear and catastrophism.
Right, there is no threat by C19 - those 800K dead don't really count. They were going to die anyway
Yes, seeing a delusional moron surviving a near death experience he could have avoided was a great moment. Lying to America
about surviving from a remote treatment none of the rest of America are privy to or could afford was a brilliant moment -
letting America know, you don't need to worry about this virus, anyone can survive this, all they have to do is be brave.
And to remember, it was going to disappear like magic and that it was a Dem. hoax but almost a million Americans are dead now.
Yep, that's exactly what I said: 800,00 dead is nothing. Well done.

He just insinuates it and then acts the aggrieved party when called on it.
Like he did with blacks and genetics.
C'mon man, it's up to the governors.
That's why you elected Joe Fucking Biden, not to shutdown the virus, to enable the governors to shut down the virus. Or something like that.
Yep. Incompetent leadership from a pathological liar who displays signs of progressive dementia…..
…..Biden has spoken out of both sides of his mouth so many times, that he literally can’t remember all of his lies anymore. And with his progressing dementia symptoms, it appears that he isn’t even trying to keep it straight….just say whatever he thinks the audience in front of him wants to hear.
Did you see the BidenHandler countermand his statement to the press to go ahead with questions yesterday once again? The Handler just said, “No” and kicked the press out of the room right in front of Biden who just sat there impotently. We are without a true leader.
Who is in charge behind the curtains? Who is The Great Wizard of Oz?
Let’s go Brandon!
