Biden celebrates moment 'millions have

approval of the Pfizer vaccine -
but walks out WITHOUT taking questions
as Afghanistan debacle rages on

President Joe Biden hailed the FDA's approval of the Pfizer vaccine as the 'moment you’ve all been waiting'–as he urged Americans who have been sitting on the fence to get their vaccine shots 'today' but dodged comment on Afghanistan. It was a welcome moment of good news for an administration battered by weeks of negative headlines, from spiking cases of COVID-19 to the collapse of the Afghan government and plunging poll numbers. And Biden, speaking at the White House, portrayed it as a huge victory even though it will be of limited practical value months after the vaccination received emergency approval.

Comments:

If this shot works, then why is this blithering idiot cue card reader wearing a mask?

If it is a vaccine you do not get the disease. So it's not a vaccine. So what is it?

Why would anyone be waiting for this moment unless your are a little tin pot dictator? Anyone that wanted this crap could get it for months without the approval. Bugger off, Lunch Bucket.

Biden's handlers know they can't get the votes to pass laws requiring vaccination. They know that if they did it would be unconstitutional. Biden demands our employers violate our rights where he can't. Fines for violating laws, (or what the SCOTUS called 'taxes'), are nothing compared to losing all your income, a lifetime career, your house, your cars, your ability to take care of your children... everything. Next, employers require employees to get rid of all firearms or be fired immediately. If employees lie, (if you have to lie it's not a right), companies can sue for breach of contract and have the police come looking for those firearms.

Meanwhile more and more people are wearing masks again. Great vaccine they got there! It does not guarantee safety! My girlfriend plans on getting the booster when it becomes available, and wants me to get it as well since she is at risk. That's the main reason to get it. To protect people at risk that I live with. What a mess. There are no straight answers in any of this.

Why did he disparage the vaccine when Trump was president? Both he and the kamel disparaged it. No i have not been waiting for fda approval, fool. How is fda approval going to help me retroactively?? Or are you staying i should have waited for approval before getting it? That is what you said when Trump was president.

Now the little dictator will use the FDA approval to push for mandatory vaccinations. The military is already getting ready to do it. Biden is pushing employers to make it mandatory. Biden has made it a condition to receive Medicaid/Medicare funding for Nursing Homes (which will further contribute to staffing shortages). Why doesn't Biden make it mandatory for our Illegal Alien invaders? They seem to be the only ones he is not mandating the vaccine for. What's next? Mandatory vaccine to get your Social Security check, pension payment, Obamacare health insurance coverage? I wouldn't put it past the Biden administration.

RE #4. The "flu shot that doesn't work" is because the vaccine makers have to guess which species of virus in China will make the jump to the USA and then dominate the flu infections here, about a year in advance. Since China is creating MANY new variants of influenza every year because of their medieval living conditions on their farms, where pigs, geese, ducks and humans all live together in appallingly unclean conditions, exchanging virus fragments freely, it is difficult to correctly guess which particular new virus will become dominant in the USA a year later. Fairly often, they guess wrong, so the 'flu shot' is for a different virus that that which is circulating. Often they make a vaccine for two or three different viruses. That is entirely different than The Shot, which was made AFTER THE FACT for a known virus, and doesn't appear to keep you from getting the disease, or getting a severe enough case to be hospitalized. In fact, some expert docs are very concerned that the dysfunctional antibodies that The Shot creates can cause Antibody Dependent Enhancement, and that this is why these 'fully vaccinated' people are so seriously ill. VERY uncertain times, and so much political interference in the medical systems, and so many clearly corrupted leaders in FDA, CDC and NIH that trying to get the truth through the filters is very difficult. The truth is getting out, slowly, and many have been able to find it on the web. A friend just had his ivermectin prescription turned down by CVS, saying "this isn't an appropriate dose". Since when has THAT ever happened before?

The FDA's "approval" is arbitrary, like the rest of the Xiden regime. Their explanation of approval of the vaccine: It's safe because we said so. Like what's going on in Afghanistan? Xiden believes the evacuation was the right thing to do because he said so.

FDA doesn't even have valid control data to contrast against, because their control group ended up getting the shot. There is no way for them to even do studies on short or long term side effects, because they violated one of the most basic principles of scientific method. This is a scam, and FDA is up to their eyeballs in it.

It’s not a vaccine it is a bioweapon designed to kill people prematurely. Look how many died right away after getting it and those that got injected then infected and died. Over the next few years people who got the jab will start dying from all sorts of medical problems. Also people are becoming sterile after getting it so birth rates will be declining substantially in the future. It is a tool of population control. Sacred? If you got it you should be scared.

A Black cop who was fired from a Florida police department for using the N-word is back on the job this week after officials determined the punishment was too harsh. Delvin White, a beloved school resource officer at Tampa’s Middleton High School, was canned in March after an audit of his body-worn camera turned up at least two videos showing him using the racial slur in November 2020, according to police. In one of the incidents, the officer was heard referencing a group of people as “ghetto [n-words]” during a phone call, the Tampa Police Department said in a statement early this year.

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 during the insurrection was cleared Monday after an internal review concluded the action may have spared the lives of lawmakers and staffers who had barricaded themselves inside the building. "The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and (U.S. Capitol Police) policies," the agency's inquiry found. The agency declined to identify the officer. Federal prosecutors decided in April not to pursue criminal charges in the case. Some who supported the Capitol siege by rioters angry about the outcome of the presidential election cast Babbitt as a martyr to the conservative cause.

The majority of Americans no longer believe President Joe Biden is competent in his role as the Commander-in-Chief, according to a CBS News poll. Fifty-one percent of the respondents said Biden is not competent in his position as president. This is compared to only 49 percent who said he is. Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of the respondents did not feel the president has been focused. The poll was taken during and after the fall of the now-Taliban-controlled Kabul, Afghanistan, when Biden botched the U.S. troops’ withdrawal from the country. With that, 53 percent of the respondents said they disagree with the way Biden withdrew the troops.
