Joe Biden isn’t only a miserably failures, he’s also a complete and total liar. There are so many things that Biden has screwed up and lied about since taking office in January. But one of the biggest failures is his COVID response. More people have died this year, than did last year when the COVID panic began. Biden lied his way into office, and made these five whopper promises that he lied about keeping:
1.) “A Year From Now” Life Will Be Normal
“By next Christmas, I think we’ll be in a very different circumstance… A year from now, I think there will be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced, have to wear masks, etc,” Biden said in February of 2021.
Fast forward to December 28, 2021, the omicron variant metastasized and become the dominant strain in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), causing Democrat-controlled cities to implement mask and vaccine mandates.
2.) “I’m Going to Shut Down the Virus”
Biden promised at least ten times during the 2020 campaign that he was going “to shut down the virus.”
But during Biden’s first 11 months in office, the delta and omicron variants reached American shores and caused more deaths under Biden than under Donald Trump’s presidency, despite vaccine availability.
3.) “No — I Don’t Think It [Vaccines] Should Be Mandatory.”
Biden told the nation on December 4, 2020, that vaccines should not become mandatory. Biden’s administration also repeatedly said Biden would not mandate vaccines.
“No — I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory,” Biden said about the Chinese coronavirus vaccine. “But I will do everything in my power as President of the United States to encourage people to do the right thing and when they do it, demonstrate that it matters.”
4.) “I’m Going to Ask the Public for 100 Days to Mask.”
Biden told the nation in December of 2020 he would ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days. “Not forever, 100 days,” Biden reiterated.
But Biden continued to move the goalpost.
Biden had already stated in August of 2020 that “every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months.”
5.) I Will “Improve the Availability of Tests.”
Biden promised on February 17, 2021, to improve the availability of tests.” And on March 11, Biden said he would “continue to work on making at-home testing available.”
“We’re going to deploy things like testing to expand detection of the virus,” Biden again promised July 6.
But during an interview just before Christmas with ABC News’ David Muir, Biden admitted the omicron variant had exploited his inaction on developing test availability.
