'The experts say we know that this virus is, in fact, uh, um, uh, it's going to be, or excuse me': Biden Loses His Thoughts on vaccines, Flubs Answer on his Foreign Policy Work and Falsely Tells Town Hall You WON'T get COVID if You Have The Shot
- President Joe Biden stumbled through Wednesday night's CNN town hall when he issued a series of gaffes, lost thoughts and false statements
- 'You're OK. You're not going to – you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,' Biden falsely assured
- Biden repeatedly gave confusing, misleading and non-linear answers when discussing masks, national security issues and COVID-19 vaccine approval
Joe Biden overinflated the efficiency of vaccines, especially against the Delta variant, during his gaffe-filled town hall on Wednesday where he claimed the jab will prevent Americans from contracting
coronavirus.
'We're not in the position where we think that any virus, including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of unvaccinated people, the – the various shots that people are getting now cover that,' Biden said during a
CNN town hall in Cincinnati,
Ohio on Wednesday.
'If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in the IC unit, and you're not going to die,' the president told host Don Lemon on stage at Mount St. Joseph University.
'So it's gigantically important that ... we all act like Americans who care about our fellow Americans,' he added.
Biden struggled at some points during his town hall to complete statements coherently as he lost his train of thought on multiple occasions.
At one point, when talking about getting vaccinations approved for children under the age of 12, the president said: 'That's underway, just like the other question that's illogical. And I've heard you speak about it because you always – I'm not being solicitous – but you're always straight up about what you're doing.'
'And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you uh, um, are – why can't the, the, the experts say we know that this virus is, in fact, uh, um, uh, it's going to be – or, excuse me, we, we, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved by permanently approved. That's underway too. I expect that to occur quickly,' Biden continued as he fumbled over his words.
Many posted images of the mostly-empty auditorium, questioning why CNN and Biden weren't able to fill all of the seats.
He continued to ramble in saying: 'Ask — you know, when I went to this G7, all the major democracies. I walked in and go, 'America's back.' I'm serious, heads of state. I give you my word as a Biden. They said, 'Are you really back?'
