White House Gets Mocked For Tweeting ‘There Was No Vaccine Available’ When Biden Took Office: ‘Disinformation, It Burns’

When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.

In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3M jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6% — the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded.

Who’s manning the @WhiteHouse Twitter account? Delete this false tweet. Biden himself has said 8% of seniors had gotten the vaccine on the day he took office. Biden was one of them. —> https://t.co/ojDmn1DNIQ https://t.co/V7z07DHQ90

I wonder if Nina Jankowicz might have something to say about this claim:
“there was no vaccine available”@POTUS received his 2nd dose of COVID vaccine on Jan. 11 – 9 days before his inauguration. https://t.co/jwaSJlNuWj

“Throughout the history of the twentieth century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader…
This history continues in the present, when lies again seem to increasingly replace empirical truth.”#disinfo https://t.co/mSwSSZ20w7

Come on. The vaccination effort hadn’t been going for very long, but 884,908 had received at least one shot by January 19, 2021, the day before Biden took office. https://t.co/p3ufNXoW0A

By Jan. 20, 2021, the day Joe Biden became president, 16.5 million Americans had already been vaccinated.

Including Joe Biden. https://t.co/49KNfOnRFM

FWIW, Biden got two doses of the vaccine before being sworn-in as president. https://t.co/kN7wpvKVpW https://t.co/S43aDFKaT4

If you ask Google News for stories in the last 24 hours on the @WhiteHouse‘s claim 16 hours ago of “no vaccine available” when President Biden came into office, it returns… one story:https://t.co/EflsOuZ4m9 pic.twitter.com/xuAbgOUQSN

Whoa, White House spreading misinformation.

Also, more pedantic point here: The number of unemployed people in the United States today is ~5.9 million, which, last I checked, is still “millions.” https://t.co/HbWEfijUWx
