“Look, There Is No Federal Solution”: Biden Backtracks On His Campaign Vow To ‘Shut Down’ Covid-19; Now Believes in States Rights
Nation and State ^ | 12/27/2021 | Tyler Durden

On October 22, 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden vowed to "shut down the virus, not the country."

14 months later, now-President Biden just admitted that there's no 'federal solution' to the pandemic, and that it's up to individual states to do what he promised.

"Look, there is no federal solution," he said during a call with state governors. "This gets solved at state level … and that ultimately gets down to where the rubber meets the road, and that’s where the patient is in need of help — or preventing the need for help."

"My message to the governors is simple: if you need something, say something. We’re going to have your back in any way we can," Biden added.

Things already weren't looking good on the 'shutting down' front last week...

Biden's admission comes days after a Vanity Fair report which revealed that the Biden admin rejected an October proposal to provide rapid at-home tests to Americans before the holidays, allowing them to screen themselves at will and thereby help reduce transmission.

The plan, in effect, was a blueprint for how to avoid what is happening at this very moment—endless lines of desperate Americans clamoring for tests in order to safeguard holiday gatherings, just as COVID-19 is exploding again. Yesterday, President Biden told David Muir of ABC News, “I wish I had thought about ordering” 500 million at-home tests “two months ago.” But the proposal shared at the meeting in October, disclosed here for the first time, included a “Bold Plan for Impact” and a provision for “Every American Household to Receive Free Rapid Tests for the Holidays/New Year.” -VF

In short, Biden isn't even trying to 'shut down' the virus.

Adding insult to injury, White House Press Secretary scoffed at the idea of nationwide home tests three weeks ago.

"Should we just send one to every American?"

Jen Psaki somewhat mockingly asks reporter at the White House Daily Press Briefing if the US should be sending out rapid #COVID19 tests to every household.

In the UK you can order 1 pack (containing 7 tests) everyday. https://t.co/ErnSsiLxxl pic.twitter.com/L7ruKWdy5n — Matt Karolian (@mkarolian) December 6, 2021

Astounding.

Any federal solution that there may have been, Trump already did, and Trump let the states follow their own lead practically from the getgo. All that big talk about his “plan” and how bad Trump was, and now he finally admits the truth. Move over, Jimmuh. There’s room at the bottom.

The mass graves in Central Park and the evacuation of New York City were a glorious triumph. We managed to rescue 120,000 homeless people, and 7,000 lawyers! Everybody else is dead, but a new variant is bringing them back as zombies. Only twelve National Guardsmen were eaten so far, and they were probably white supremacists like Larry Elder. All of them have gotten their boosters, and we won’t leave until the last animated American has been taken out.

"Look, there is no federal solution," he said during a call with state governors.

Annnnndddddd..... STATES AGs who are suing against the mandate(s) are stockpiling all forms of this admission for eventual submission as evidence to the Federal Courts and USSC in the final decision(s).

“More like passing the buck so he can blame others for his own failures if things go bad...or take credit for this “strategy” if they go well.”

The argument will then become; let the states decide what is appropriate for each state to curb the Wuhan virus.

Hello ABORTION!!!
