![]() (It has inched up to 56 percent in the two weeks since, and just under half the eligible population has been fully vaccinated.) In fact, the Mayo Clinic put the July 4 count at about 55 percent. He claimed that by Independence Day 70 percent of adult Americans would have received at least one dose of a vaccine. The administration is upset because, after his campaign discredited the vaccine effort, Biden over-promised what he could deliver once he took charge of it. Though he won’t be called on it by the Democratic media complex, these are outrageous lies comparable to what the president accuses his predecessor of routinely spewing. The claim is nearly as shameful as Biden’s recent portrayal of state election-procedure reforms (e.g., curbs on drive-thru voting) as the reestablishment of Jim Crow and a threat to democracy on a par with “the Civil War.”īiden’s attack on Facebook is reprehensible. The propagandist-in-chief inveighed against Facebook on Friday for “ killing people” by spreading misinformation about the efficacy and potentially damaging side effects of the vaccines. ![]() The president and his administration are endeavoring to shift blame to the social media giant for the predictable effects of their own demagoguery. This is a vignette worth keeping in the front of our minds as Biden cynically exploits his bully pulpit against Facebook.

Kamala Harris, in the campaign’s stretch-run, when she was talking down Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s zealous initiative to push across the finish line the vaccines that pharmaceutical companies miraculously managed to produce by late 2020. That was then-Vice President Mike Pence’s rebuke of his opponent, then-Sen. “The fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine, if the vaccine emerges during the Trump administration, I think is unconscionable.” ![]()
