President Joe Biden has gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine and annual flu shot, the White House said Saturday.

The White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said in a memo that Biden received both shots on Friday. O’Connor said Biden, 80, also was vaccinated several weeks ago against the respiratory illness known as RSV.

“As we enter the cold and flu season, the President encourages all Americans to follow his example and to check with their healthcare provider or pharmacist to assure that they are fully vaccinated,” O’Connor wrote.

      Nobody denies anything. It’s simply not on the same level of bullshit that Trump spread. Not even remotely.

        Being a lesser level of bullshit doesn’t mean it’s not bullshit. Biden gave people a false sense of security by shooting off his mouth and rambling about stuff he does not understand. Just because Trump’s a bigger liar doesn’t excuse Biden.

          Yep, it doesnt excuse him automatically, you are right. Let’s judge him for a saying tje vaccine protects more than it did - sorry again, why is this not an exaggeration? - while we judge Trump for willfullingly lie about treatments, seriosity of the disease and precautions that is estimated to have caused a fuckton of additional deaths. Let’s see…Biden’s exaggeration caused…0 deaths.

          So, comparing a pebble to a boulder. See the issue?
