President Biden promised Americans a “summer of freedom” but the feds revoked it this week. First the CDC championed new mask mandates and then Biden announced that he would compel all federal employees to get Covid vaccines or be tested and hounded until they submitted. In his public announcement on Thursday, Biden said it is “still a question whether the federal government can mandate the whole country” to take the vaccine. The Washington Post noted that the “president appeared open to more aggressive measures” on Covid. At least Biden has not yet sent in the military to enforce Covid lockdowns, as is happening this week in Australia.
Here’s a round-up of my recent tweets chronicling the collapse of the credibility of the Biden administration’s Covid policy.
Covid vax efficacy doubts = heresy? Germany will start new injections due to "quickly subsiding immune response after a full Covid-19 vaccination in certain groups of people.” https://t.co/dTePLi83r7

Covid policies still based on wildly-inaccurate #s. Headlines today: "US passes 35 million COVID-19 cases." But CDC estimates 120+ million Americans have had Covid infections https://t.co/rbOaLBPeXg

Questioning Covid vaccine efficacy is treated as a heresy by many US pundits & publications. But half the new Covid cases in Israel were fully vaxxed & cases are "getting to severe and critical conditions” – Bloomberg News https://t.co/gYdDmwiJQ7

Why did CDC only admit this week that mass breakthrough Covid cases were occurring among the vaccinated? Hundreds of staffers at 2 SF hospitals tested positive, 75-80% had been vaccinated. https://t.co/4bov6xTzho

Does the top Biden White House Covid official resorting to ALL CAPS on Twitter mean SHTF? https://t.co/dEaLqrHAsE

Biden admin. is getting slammed by their media allies for the latest Covid flip-flop in part because the CDC decided in May to minimize tracking of vaccinated people who later got Covid https://t.co/Sksh8dJ53m

When Biden was asked yesterday about his promise in May that vaxxed people would not need to wear masks, he barked, “That was true at the time!” Maybe that slogan is the motto for Biden’s Covid policy?

Is Biden using the iron fist of mandates to force people to get vaccinated at the same time that vaccine efficacy is rapidly fading? https://t.co/KpMHn47yKW

Last August, I warned of Biden mandating a vaccine: "If scientists tell Biden that everyone needs the newly-approved COVID-19 vaccine, would he declare a national emergency and force every American to get injected?" @BillyGribbin https://t.co/eJSX8XUjIb

? on Biden's Covid mandate: Is there up-to-date #s on the % of NIH & FDA employees who are fully vaccinated? Fauci estimated in May that @ 40% were not vaxxed

Biden may need to do another CNN Town Hall real quick to revive faith in Covid vaxxing. WPost notes that in Singapore, "75 percent of new infections reportedly occur in people who are partially and fully vaccinated." https://t.co/QhEFt6SyYr

Biden's new mandate will require unvaccinated National Park Service employees working by themselves in isolated wilderness to wear masks. @aier https://t.co/ODFlomuf4G

CDC is still unwilling to publicly disclose the new data they invoked to justify whipsawing U.S. Covid policies. https://t.co/SRklvjAylq

Times change? On July 4, Biden proclaimed "Independence from Covid-19": "Thanks to our heroic vaccine effort… We can live our lives…" https://t.co/zYqoq8L6dm

No faith in Covid vaccines? UK contract-tracing app recently ordered 600,000 people to 'quarantine after possible exposure — a rule that applies to even those who have been fully vaccinated.' https://t.co/djH41PETC4

Justice Dept. announced today they were dropping investigations of @NYGovCuomo, @GovWhitmer, & other Democratic govs whose reckless Covid policies boosted nursing home deaths – as I predicted on 7/14 for @aier https://t.co/t9oEcuydDw

If only we had a vaccine to compel the Biden administration, Fauci, CDC, & FDA to be honest with the American people https://t.co/vQYy1l8qzX

.@nytimes reports study showing that the J&J vaccine offers only 33% efficacy against Delta Covid variant. Time for Biden to denounce another social media outlet https://t.co/fznsYbxAuv

Reading these tweets together was better than reading
Will Roger’s or Art Linklater. I laughed my ass off.
Few things are more entertaining than accurate observations delivered with wit.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot! Will Rogers set the gold standard – more Americans should read his piercing comments from almost a century ago.
