Biden’s dark, bleak, and uninspiring address to the nation on Thursday was unconstitutional, anathema to America’s founding principles, and painted an ugly picture of how the current administration wants to fundamentally transform the relationship between the citizen and the state.
Marxist regimes are required to lie to their country to distract from the reality of their incompetence, the state of their nation, and their citizen’s lack of freedoms. Biden wasted no time and lied in his opening paragraph, “A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked, denials for days, weeks, then months.” On January 14, 2020, the World Health Organization publicly announced there was no clear evidence of human-to-human transfer of Covid-19. WHO reversed this statement on January 21. The first known death in U.S. was February 28 (later, in March, after autopsies, the earliest death was updated to Feb 6). On January 31, Trump issued the China travel ban. Biden called him a xenophobe. On February 24, Pelosi went to San Francisco’s Chinatown and invited people to join her. Trump announced the Coronavirus response committee on February 28. On March 11, Trump issued a European travel ban when the U.S. death toll was 38. On March 27, Trump signed the CARES Act allocating $9.5 billion for vaccine development. Operation Warp Speed was announced to the public on April 29. The fastest time to develop a vaccine was for the mumps in 1967 which was done in 4 years. Covid-19 was ready in less than a year, a million vaccines were being delivered daily by mid-January 2021, and Biden himself received his first Covid vaccine shot in December of 2020.
His second untruth was made in the third paragraph, “While it was different for everyone, we all lost something -- a collective suffering, a collective sacrifice, a year filled with the loss of life and the loss of living for all of us.” That was not true of Gavin Newsom who kept his income, dined at 3-star Michelin restaurant, the French Laundry, and kept his vineyard open while closing others. Nancy Pelosi ate gourmet ice cream and visited her local salon, unmasked, after salons had been ordered closed. Big businesses Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot remained open and their sales increased while nearly half of small businesses were required to close their doors and, of those, about half permanently went out of business. In other words, rules for thee but not for me.
Biden went on to describe the tragedy of closing schools, despite repeatedly showcasing his obsequiousness to the teacher’s unions when it comes to re-opening schools and following the science. “Watching a generation of children who may be set back up to a year or more because they've not been in school because of their loss of learning,” he said. We knew last year that children are not adversely impacted by Covid and are not known to be transmitters. Survival rate among children of Covid-19 is 99.997. Children are more likely to die from the seasonal flu. Last fall, less than 1 percent of students/teachers in schools tested positive when schools re-opened. And in the first few weeks when colleges re-opened, 26,000 students tested positive with no hospitalizations, according to Brown University epidemiologist Andrew Bostom's tally.
Biden asserted his authoritarian, useless, and meaningless mask mandates, “A mask, the easiest thing to do to save lives, sometimes it divides us.” There are no randomized controlled trials on the use of masks as source control for SARS-CoV-2 that have been published. In fact, prior to the politics of Covid, all RCTs pointed to the statistical insignificance of using masks for source control or contract of virus borne diseases. Covid is measured in nanometers, a 1000X smaller than bacteria. If you touch your mask, adjust the mask on your face, re-use your mask, take it on and off throughout the day, transmission is not prevented. After repeated lies, Biden says, “Look, we know what we need to do to beat this virus. Tell the truth. Follow the scientists and the science.” Biden goes on to mention truth another six times. You know who repeatedly says they are telling the truth? Liars.
When it comes to vaccine supplies, Biden made the following claim, “Two months ago, the country -- this country didn't have nearly enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all or anywhere near all of the American public, but soon we will.” By mid-August 2020, the United States had secured 800 million doses of at least 6 vaccines in development, with an option to purchase around one billion more which could be prioritized and distributed to high risk populations. Instead of tipping his hat to the Trump administration in a moment of humility, gratitude, and unity, Biden threw their accomplishments under the bus and in effect, took credit for Operation Warp Speed. Biden said, “All adult Americans will be eligible to get a vaccine no later than May 1. That's much earlier than expected.” As early as September 2020, Trump predicted all Americans will be vaccinated by April 2021 and was ridiculed by the press. And despite vaccinations for all Americans, Biden still wants us to wear masks and social distance.
Like a true Marxist, Biden goes on to say, “In the coming weeks, we will issue further guidance on what you can and cannot do once fully vaccinated.” In that one statement alone he ignores every American’s rights as articulated in our Constitution. In Biden’s world, we are not citizens, we are serfs and work for the government, not the other way around. Ironically, he suggested July 4th Independence Day as to when we might be able to meet in small groups. Republican or Democrat, if any president makes a statement like that you tell them to go pound sand. Or if you prefer Patrick Henry in 1775, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Or if you prefer, you can waive the Gadsden flag designed in 1775 and adopted in 1778 with the immortal words, “Don’t tread on me.”
At the close of his speech, he did what totalitarian governments do; he turned around and walked away from the press and didn’t answer a single question.
