How is it that the United States has the most people dead from COVID-19 compared with every other country in the world when we invented the vaccines which supposedly saved so many lives?
81.4% of Americans had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of May 9, 2023 according to Our World in Data.
By April 2022, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that about 6 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted, and that’s remained true through at least August 2022 (the most recent month of data).

Meanwhile White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is getting some much needed help from new hire Tyler Cherry who was communications director for Deb Haaland at Interior
I'm sure Joe knows all about this guy lol:
"Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases," Cherry posted in 2015 amid riots that were sparked following the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man, in police custody in Baltimore.
"Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs," he stated in a separate post months later.
In 2018, Cherry called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE), the Homeland Security Department agency tasked with preventing
cross-border crime and illegal immigration, to be abolished.
Cherry was also posting support for "Palestine" on social media in 2014 during the Gaza War in which Palestinian forces, led by the radical Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, sparking a forceful Israeli response that involved airstrikes and a ground invasion.
"Cheersing in bars to ending the occupation of Palestine — no shame and f--- your glares #ISupportGaza #FreePalestine," Cherry said on July 25, 2014, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Cherry also has a history of criticizing Republicans on social media, including in 2017 when he said that conservatives in the Republican Party were focused on "white grievance politics."
"The Tea Party was never about the debt/deficit but about racism and white grievance politics," he wrote on X.

Update:
Very-Fine-People-On-Both-Sides Hoax of 2017 in the news: There was a change of ownership at Snopes in September 2022
Biden decided to run for president, he said, because Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people.
Funny what a change of ownership in September 2022 can do.
Trump and Biden have a debate scheduled for next Thursday, coincidentally.
Biden made the uncle-eaten-by-cannibals claim in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on April 17th
Major American media protected the president from this story for five days and didn't address it widely until Papua New Guinea got offended by his remarks.
It wasn't "news" before that, because it was bad.
Pennsylvania polling headed south for Biden starting on April 30 and not even the May 31 conviction of Trump has reversed it.
Letting Biden loose in Pennsylvania for three days to pile up eight fact checks from CNN of all places appears to have been a very costly political mistake.
Trump takes the war to Biden's home turf, turns out big, enthusiastic crowd in North Philly
Biden took 81% of the vote in Philadelphia County in 2020 but won Pennsylvania by only 82,000 votes.
Trump: "I went to school in Philadelphia" lol, which is some lie you'd expect Joe Biden to say but is actually true in Trump's case.
CNN, 19 April 2024:
President Joe Biden spent three days this week campaigning in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. He littered his remarks with false and misleading claims on subjects ranging from his annual earnings to his cap on seniors’ prescription drug spending to the demographics of China to the frequency of his past travel to Iraq and Afghanistan.
And in Biden’s most eyebrow-raising remarks of the campaign swing, he told and then retold a story in which he strongly suggested his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down while he fought in World War II. Biden’s dramatic details don’t match the Defense Department’s official account of the plane crash.
Here is a fact check of eight of Biden’s Pennsylvania remarks.

Democrats keep saying that Trump is the most unvirtuous man ever to hold political office lol
Trump doesn't hold a candle to JFK.

One reason Americans are fatter than ever might seem to be sloth, except for the fact that 60% of the population worked in both 1979 and 2022 but the average work week dropped by just one hour over the period
According to the CDC, obesity is most severe among those of late middle-age, so if you can prevent it before then you are more likely to escape it later:
The prevalence of severe obesity was highest among adults aged 40–59 compared with other age groups.
Peak Baby Boom turned 40 in 1997.

| Americans worked 32.61 hours per week on average in 1979 and 31.57 hours in 2022 |

| All countries in 2016 with 30% of population or more obese |

| 60% of the US population was working in both 1979 and 2022 |

Hey remember when Hillary got all wobbly at the 9/11 memorial service in 2016 and POLITICO questioned the authenticity of the video showing her getting stuffed into a van?
Yeah, good times 2016:
Video posted on Twitter shows a woman that appears to be Clinton briefly swooning before being helped into a waiting van by her staff.
POLITICO has asked the campaign to confirm the clip’s authenticity.
Because the event was a small, non-campaign event, just a small pool of reporters was there to cover the ceremony, but those on hand did not witness any incident.
Calls and emails to more than a dozen Clinton staffers and associates asking for explanation were not returned.
Yeah, because the French center and left have made them prey
French women voters swing sharply to far right...
In a video Bardella argued that his party supported advances for women’s rights, from medical support to protection for women suffering domestic abuse. He also said he’d deport “foreign delinquents and criminals” and introduce stricter sentences for violence against women.
“No woman should ever have to fear going out into the streets of our country, whatever the time of day or night,” he said. ... “Our European values will always be outstandingly superior to those which enslave women, imprison them behind headscarves,” he said in a speech before the European Parliament last year.
Biden's immigration orders are as illegal as Obama's: The president has plenary statutory authority under 8 U.S.C. 1201 to deport any alien (legal or illegal) at any time for any reason, but he does not have any reciprocal power to naturalize aliens outside of Congress
During the fledgling nation's constitutional ratification debates, which assumed existential importance after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, Federalists felt compelled to distinguish the presidency from the Crown on the grounds that the king "can make denizens of aliens" but the president has no such power. Indeed, the Framers cared so much about this that they explicitly accorded to Congress, in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the power to "establish a uniform rule of naturalization." The message was clear: The president is not a king.

Chicoms commit act of war against Philippines in Spratly Islands' Second Thomas Shoal, Biden sits idly by despite actual treaty of 1951 pledging mutual defense
‘Only pirates do this’: Philippines accuses China of using bladed weapons in major South China Sea escalation
"They are Philippine Navy vessels, and according to international law, they enjoy what we term as sovereign immunity,” Koh said. “That is very dangerous, because, if anything, that could even be construed as an act of war.”
Instead of bailing out a bunch of deadbeat ingrates' student loans for votes in November maybe demagogue Joe Biden should have built some ships to help us fulfill our promises to our freedom-loving friends around the world.
Biden's forgiven student loans are nothing but new spending obligations of the American taxpayer financed by more borrowing: Big jump in the 2024 deficit due to student loan bailouts
Student loan relief contributing to 27% jump in projected federal budget deficit, per CBO
The federal budget deficit will hit $1.9 trillion this fiscal year according to the Congressional Budget Office. That’s $400 billion larger than the agency estimated in February.
Donald Trump for some reason thinks this is the precise moment we want to hear that he wants to hand out green cards even to community college graduates
I mean, if this dope were a foreigner he'd never get one because he couldn't complete even that:
11 million illegal aliens under Joe Biden isn't enough, apparently.
We could have had Ron DeSantis, but Republicans are as insane as the Democrats.
