Biden's 'victory' over COVID is hard to distinguish from defeat
FOX News.com ^ | February 28, 2022 | Paul Mango

During resident Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, he may choose to declare victory over COVID-19.

For sure, case rates, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID have fallen dramatically in recent weeks, and we should give the Biden Administration credit for utilizing President Donald Trump’s successful development of safe and effective vaccines to vaccinate close to 70 percent of all eligible Americans.

The appropriate question to pose at this juncture, however, is at what cost has victory been won? When one examines Biden’s "victory" in detail, to include the tally of COVID cases and fatalities, its impact on the disruption of primary and secondary education for a generation of our youth, skyrocketing drug overdose deaths and related behavioral health issues, and inflation and deficits now at the highest levels in decades, it is, indeed, hard to "distinguish it from defeat." If the Biden team’s COVID response strategy had achieved any identifiable positive outcomes for all of this ruin, then admiration may be in order.

But it did not. Here are some of the details:

During the Biden Administration’s close to 400 days leading America’s COVID-19 response, the U.S. experienced over 135,000 COVID-19 cases, and over 1325 COVID-19 deaths, per day. These numbers represent twice the number of cases, and 20 percent more deaths, per day than we experienced during the year in which the Trump Administration was in charge of the nation’s COVID response. This outcome is all the more perplexing given the advantage of vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and knowledge of the virus granted to the Biden team when it took office.

Biden is busy working out military positions with raisins on his oatmeal.

“...safe and effective vaccines...”

Yet to be determined, from all I’ve read.

(Fair disclosure: I got the first two Pfizer shots on 3/6/21 & 3/27/21, a Flu shot on 8/28/21, the Pfizer booster on 10/2/21, and take quite an assortment of OTC vitamins, daily, with my other 26 Rxs. I have 7 co-morbidities, and don’t go to crowded places, and only very occasionally, wear a KN95 mask. Yet, I’ve been around a number of people who’ve had Covid-19 and Omicron, and I have escaped it, so far.)

....as Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth....?”

also....

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

This dementia-addled President will try to take credit for ending [sic] this COVID pandemic, but it is all BS... his SOTU speech will be just that....meaningless words.....

that’s because the destruction of the USA is a win for Biden and his handlers.

It’s blatantly obvious the people in the WH are purposefully inflicting harm on the country. they’re creating chaos with crisis after crisis so they can continue to grab power, and create a totalitarian regime.

Anyone who does not see that is brain dead.

COMPARING TRUMP AND BIDEN ON COVID DEATHS (As of 2/28/22)

The media went wild after the reported Covid death toll reached 400,000 on Trumps last day.

Blood on his hands': As US surpasses 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, experts blame Trump administration for a 'preventable' loss of life

On Trump’s Last Full Day, Nation Records 400,000 Covid Deaths

US Covid-19 death toll passes 400,000 on Trump’s last day in office

The reported death toll from Covid now stands at:

949,440 according to Johns Hopkins Covid Tracker

973,594 according to Worldometer Covid Tracker

BIDEN: 549 to 573 thousand reported COVID deaths
TRUMP: 400 thousand reported COVID deaths

Some will say its not fair to blame the deaths that occurred during Biden’s first month in office on his policies. That the daily deaths when he entered office January 20th 2021 were already in the midst of peak. To avoid this criticism, lets skip forward some 6 months into his presidency. By this time Biden’s policies were in full effect and he was “following the science” and “listening to the experts”. Around this time, July 12th 2021 , 50% of Americans were fully vaccinated yet over the next 7 months some 309,000 Americans died of Covid under Biden’s leadership. Compare this 7 month period to Donald Trump’s last 7 months in office. With less than 1When we % of Americans vaccinated and Trump supposedly “not following the science” or promoting masks… the total amount of Americans that died during this time was 278,000.
