'Delete This False Tweet': White House Ripped for Disinformation About COVID Vaccines

The White House is under fire after sending a tweet late Thursday night claiming Wuhan coronavirus vaccines weren't available when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. 

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.

Due to the work of President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed, vaccines were available. In fact, Biden received two doses before moving into the Oval Office. 

President-elect Biden received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine because he trusts scientists.

The White House is being blasted for the disinformation, leaving people wondering where the new Homeland Security Disinformation Governance Board is on the false statement. 

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

Everyone should go through the process and report this for misleading information.

Meanwhile, the White House is marking the death of one million Americans from the disease. More than 500,000 Americans have died since Biden took office, surpassing the number of deaths under Trump.
