‘That’s a Lie’: Biden Falsely Claims That Vaccinated People ‘Cannot Spread’ COVID-19

It is very difficult to tell when Joe Biden is lying or if his handlers just withhold information from him. Take the row with France. It was in all of the papers and all over the internet, Yet, John Kerry said Biden was not even aware there was a problem. His most recent gaffe is when he declared the people who have been vaccinated cannot pass COVID on to other people.

In its latest guidance on the coronavirus Delta variant, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged that “fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others.”

The CDC’s guidance is reflective of scientific studies which have found that both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who test positive for COVID-19 infection carry a similar amount of viral load, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not.

Biden said

“My administration is now requiring federal workers to be vaccinated. We’ve also required federal contractors to be vaccinated. If you have a contract with the federal government, working for the federal government, you have to be vaccinated. We’re requiring active-duty military to be vaccinated.”

“We’re making sure health care workers are vaccinated. Because if you seek care at a health care facility, you should have the certainty that the pro- — the people providing that care are protected from COVID and cannot spread it to you.”

“Joe Biden falsely says covid vaccinated people can’t spread the virus. That’s a lie. Also he can’t even read off a teleprompter. This just keeps getting more embarrassing.”

Earlier data touted by the CDC may have suggested that wasn’t the case, and so perhaps Biden was only reiterating what he had heard before. But the CDC’s current guidance was updated in August, which should have given the president plenty of time to consult the science.

While public health experts maintain that COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe illness from the disease requiring hospitalization or causing death, it is simply not true that vaccinated individuals cannot spread the virus, especially as it pertains to the Delta variant.
