We criticized candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris back in September 2020 for their reckless, baseless fearmongering about the coming COVID vaccines, but we didn’t realize it would prove the deadliest demagoguery of modern times.
Now we know, the duos claims that the jab might not be safe because apparently then-President Donald Trump might be pushing premature release, were quickly followed by a three-week extension of the safety-testing period. This was due to the Food & Drug Administration’s fears and growing doubts about the vaccines.
On Sept. 7, 2020, Biden warned, “I would want to see what the scientists said” about any vaccine; “I want full transparency.”
A week later he said, “I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don’t trust Donald Trump. And at this point, the American people can’t, either.”
Meanwhile his partner in crime, Harris, insisted she’d trust the word of public-health experts, but not Trump. She went on to also claim that those experts will be muzzled, they will be suppressed, they will be sidelined.
At the vice-presidential debate, she added, “If Donald Trump tells us we should take the vaccine, I’m not going to take it.”
After the two fired up their anti-Trump followers, they joined in the scaremongering, releasing an article in the media, ‘Scientists Worry About Political Influence Over Coronavirus Vaccine Project’.
Then the Biden-Harris campaign website explicitly smeared the FDA on this issue.
It was all utter nonsense and Biden/Harris knew it, along with everyone else in their sane mind.
World-class scientists developed the vaccinations, overseen not just by the FDA but by the first-class professionals brought in to run Operation Warp Speed. Whatever hacks worked in the Trump White House, they had nothing to do with any of it.
But on Sept. 21, 2020, the FDA suddenly stretched out the period to check for adverse effects from the vaccine from 42 days, the standard it had long relied on, to 60. Why? Per the head of the FDA division in charge of the OK, it was “essential to shoring up vaccine confidence.”
FDA chief Stephen Hahn specifically cited fears fed by the people who said they wouldn’t take the vaccine if it was authorized under President Trump’s watch.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla had predicted on Sept. 9 that he expected the safety studies to be done by the end of October. The added delay pushed that to Nov. 9 — six days after the presidential election.
More important, it meant 18 extra days before mass vaccination could start, when, as Zinberg notes, “For every week we didn’t have a COVID-19 vaccine, more people died, more children were kept out of school, and more damage was done to society.”
Of course, right after Biden won the election, Democrats switched instantly from vax-doubters to believers and started claiming all the credit. In other words, they plainly didn’t believe their own lies.
It was unconscionable, but the media let them get away with it.
The same cynicism is seen over and over again in Biden’s presidency. Just like when Biden goes on and on against ‘MAGA Republicans’ and then the Democrats turn around, spending $53 million to help MAGA Republican candidates.
How far can the Democratic Party sink? What will they do to win? It seems they can do and say anything as long as they can win to come out on top.
Biden and Harris response sound like a child of 6 years of age ; I’m not going to do it if Donald Trump says to , what a childish statement coming from these wackos !
conservatism preserves free enterprise (forget about Trump) liberalism/socialism destroys it
This is just another thing the Democrats have tried to politicize, this is why all Democrats are scumbags, as their cuyrrupt leadrs lie to the American people about everthing , with the Media’s help, these unamerican scumbags , which are the majority of democrats support the Pelosi’s and the Schummer’s not to mention Schiff and their Comander and Idiot Biden. These people are backing the BLM scum and all the other;s who are destroying a once great nation. They riot in the streets to bring down a successfull president and are ok with their idiot bringing down the economy and releasing murderers back on our streets, their ok with higher crime and alower standard of living for everyone, this is Bernie Sanders and AOC’c playbook, and the Democrats keep voting them in. Every great society has been destroyed from within, our country is in the midst of an implosion, thank your Democrat ass hole neighbors, I’d rather punch them in the face.
