“Look, There Is No Federal Solution”: Biden Backtracks On His Campaign Vow To ‘Shut Down’ Covid-19; Now Believes in States Rights

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.

Rule 1) Never let a Crisis go to waste.

Rule 2). Abandon said Crisis when you can no longer blame it on the other guy.

He said Trump was responsible for every single one of those deaths, and now his handlers told the Dementia-Parrot to say there is no Federal Solution.

He ran on saying he would defeat it, and he said, at the same time, he would Cure Cancer (I’m not joking).

If they let him get away with blaming Trump for everything and then running from any Presidential responsibility, close the door on the way out.

Why not? Otoken cured homelessness and unemployment for eight years (until Evil Orange Man brought it all back).

[blueplum]

now that Biden has admitted his ‘plan’ didn’t work, maybe he can make that plan public - if he ever had one

Dumbest President evah.

"Look, there is no federal solution,"

Then pull your damned clot shot mandate! It's infuriating that I have to submit to 'rona testing every week so I can continue to earn a living! I will not take that injection. Nope. Not gonna do it.

Everything Biden tries to do is a state matter. And he ignores all his true federal responsibilities

Time and reality are not kind to lies and obfuscation.Trying to distort reality to fit a made-up template is a tall order, doomed to failure under widespread scrutiny. It's now all catching up to the Regime. They prayed for rain and they have to deal with the mud.

Yah, the next presser should be rather entertaining.

President Biden told David Muir of ABC News, “I wish I had thought about ordering” 500 million at-home tests “two months ago.”

 

Add to the situation that right before Christmas both the CDC and FDA posted guidance that testing was junk and not to be used for patient diagnostic purposes. Also add the current ordeal of the airline industry - they're losing their asses due to the covid tyranny and are probably exerting pressure behind the scenes to change it up. And they're probably not the only industry. The wheels are falling off the covid cart and no spares are available.

We have no one in charge who knows what the heck they are doing.

I go back in years past... The mess we are in today.. We have not had in my lifetime.

The division.. The anger.. The absolute RUDE everywhere... And a government that knows zero on anything.. Mistakes and communism leading us down a road never before taken.

Are you okay with that?

[frnewsjunkie]

* Look, there is no federal solution *

The solution would be to get fauci in prison
Give out the neds that do help
Shut up cdc and all else that are trying to kill us.. And that includes fauci.

Get the daggone word out...fauci and They.. Want us dead.
Over population
And Christians walking around make them nervous

"...solved at the state level."

We can rip on Biden's record during campaigns. For now, acknowledge that, regardless the motive, he is on the right track.

But don't stop there. Don't concede it is a state level problem. Keep the ball of Freedom rolling downhill... the best solutions for free Americans are at the individual level. NOT state level.

State involvement would be Constitutional in ways not so at the central level. But the best, most American, solution is individual control and medical market freedom.

That statement will haunt him in the OSHA case. He just admitted that a “nationwide” solution is not possible or warranted. The argument will then become; let the states decide what is appropriate for each state to curb the Wuhan virus.

In the spirit of, If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it, the feds will quickly move-in to take credit for any program that works, then begin closely monitoring and supervising the effort, finally, they will throw tax dollars at any effort backed by their cronies but actually killing more people than helping, but hey that’s life for the Party of the People.
