Joe Biden is putting on a masterclass in how NOT to get people vaccinated.
Step 1: Spread disinformation about the vaccine when its development doesn’t suit you politically. Never apologize later.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pushed vaccine misinformation for months.

Step 2: Lie about how and when the vaccine was developed and distributed.

Step 3: Fail to give clear, consistent messaging while threatening to censor Americans on social media.
WATCH: Dr. Jonathan Reiner says Biden is sending “the wrong message” and “confusing people” by continuing to wear a mask around vaccinated people.

Step 4: Reimpose restrictions on vaccinated people and children that will likely have little to no effect on spread.
Fox confirms that White House staff has been told they must again wear masks indoors on campus, beginning today.

Step 5: Insult people that aren’t vaccinated.

And who is Biden insulting?
I wonder how rhetoric on this site would change if people knew the unvaccinated are disproportionately Black and Latino

So basically, Biden’s message is … he didn’t trust the vaccine, but now he does, but he doesn’t want people to hear about where it came from, and if you get vaccinated nothing changes, but he might change his mind later, and if you don’t do it you’re an idiot.
If Biden wants to convince people to get vaccinated, he’s doing a terrible job. The blame for declining vaccination rates lies on his shoulders. If he wants to change that, he can apologize for spreading disinformation about the vaccine in the first place.
