Last July 4, President Joe Biden proclaimed victory over COVID:
“Thanks to our heroic vaccine effort, we’ve gained the upper hand
against this virus. We can live our lives. We are closer than ever to
declaring our independence from a deadly virus.” A few weeks later,
Biden promised that people who got vaccinated would not get COVID.

Since last July 4, COVID has killed more than 400,000 Americans. More
than 55 million have been diagnosed with the virus, and there have
probably been tens of millions of unconfirmed or unreported cases.

Biden has been more successful decimating freedom than ending the
pandemic. The wreckage of his COVID promises explains much of the
collapse of Biden’s credibility and approval ratings.

Government coverups paved the way to Biden’s pratfalls. In May 2021,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ceased keeping track of
almost all “breakthrough” COVID infections among vaccinated
individuals unless they resulted in hospitalization or death. Last
July, a COVID outbreak affecting more than 500 vaccinated individuals
in Provincetown, Mass., hit the headlines.

On Aug. 5, CDC chief Rochelle Walensky formally confessed: “What
[COVID vaccines] can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.” Prior to
that admission, the Biden administration even refused to disclose the
number of “breakthrough” infections that had occurred among White
House staff.

On Aug. 11, the Mayo Clinic revealed that the efficacy of the Pfizer
COVID vaccine had fallen to 42% — a stunning collapse after early
boasts of 95% effectiveness in safeguarding people against infection.
Biden responded to the failures by repudiating his 2020 promise not to
make vaccines mandatory.

Biden dictated Sept. 9 that all health-care workers and any American
working for a company employing more than 100 people must get
vaccinated. Biden told viewers: “Recent data indicates there’s only
one confirmed positive case per 5,000 fully vaccinated Americans per
day.” That wildly inaccurate statement was the linchpin of his
calculus of compulsion. Biden issued the equivalent of a declaration
of war on 80 million unvaccinated Americans, portraying them as Public
Enemy No. 1.

A month later, Biden boasted that thanks to his mandate, there were
only “67 eligible Americans who aren’t vaccinated.” The White House
Press Office added a correction to the transcript: “[million].”

Biden’s pandemic policy ignored the natural immunity that protects
people after they recover from the virus. A major Israeli study
revealed that people who had COVID-19 had far better protection
against the Delta variant than people who received multiple COVID
vaccine injections. COVID vaccines can offer some protection for the
elderly and people with compromised immunity, but Biden wildly
oversold them to justify seizing more power.

Following the “summer of freedom,” Biden promised in December “a
winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated” and declared
that “almost everyone who has died from COVID-19 in the past many
months has been unvaccinated.” Wrong again. Two months earlier, the
CDC ceased publishing data showing soaring deaths among the fully
vaxxed because the data “might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being
ineffective,” The New York Times revealed early this year.

Even though almost two-thirds of the US population was fully
vaccinated, COVID cases exploded late last year and soon exceeded a
million new cases a day. The CDC later admitted that almost half the
COVID deaths in early 2022 were among the fully vaxxed.

On Jan. 13, the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s vaccine mandate for
Americans working for large companies, though it narrowly upheld the
health-care-worker mandate. Biden’s prerogative to forcibly inject
average Americans was obliterated.

As the president’s credibility faded, Team Biden became more
aggressive in suppressing criticism. On March 3, Biden’s surgeon
general, Vivek Murthy, demanded that social-media companies report to
the feds anyone who posted “misinformation” regarding COVID. The
odious Disinformation Governance Board was tasked with targeting COVID
misinformation, among other suppression targets. Biden’s own false
statements on COVID are exempt from the hit list.

The CDC recently estimated that that almost 200 million Americans (60%
of adults and 75% of children) have already been infected by COVID.
The CDC continues to report more than 100,000 new daily cases, and the
White House forecasts up to 100 million new COVID cases in the coming
fall and winter. What was the point of the last 18 months of Pandemic
Security Theater?

America cannot afford any more Biden victories over COVID. The most
honest thing the president said slipped out by accident Dec. 27:
“There is no federal solution” to COVID-19. Biden’s debacles confirm
the axiom of historian John Barry, author of “The Great Influenza.”
Barry warned: “When you mix politics and science, you get politics.”
