Biden’s COVID-19 ‘rule’ tweet panned on social media

Biden’s official Twitter account later posted, "The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours."

The tweet was quickly picked up by some influential users. Glenn Greenwald, the journalist, retweeted Biden’s comment and posted, "This is not actually a rule."

The tweet also raised questions about children who don't have the approval to receive the vaccines. Dana Hull, a Bloomberg reporter, tweeted, "Really hard for parents who have kids under 12 to square this."

The Biden administration has been focused on getting more Americans to sign up for COVID-19 vaccines that it says are safe and highly effective. States have been joining the effort and have been coming up with ways to entice Americans to sign up for a jab. (Ohio just announced a $1 million lottery for those fully vaccinated.)

One of the lingering concerns for Americans with "vaccine hesitancy" is the idea that the drugs were rushed along to meet the urgency, a claim that health officials have denied.

Some Americans point out that although Pfizer and Moderna have been granted emergency use authorization, these vaccines have not received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration. (Pfizer is seeking full approval and Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are also expected to make the request, ABC News reported.)

The FDA issued a statement this week saying it determined that Pfizer vaccine "has met the statutory criteria to amend" its emergency use authorization and that "the known and potential benefits of this vaccine in individuals 12 years of age and older outweigh the known and potential risks, supporting the vaccine’s use in this population."

The White House did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.

In my neck of the woods, we quit the mask bs a year ago after we observed that people weren't dropping like flies. We're not much on listening to government. We observe and make decisions based on those observations.

The most boring job out here is being that person standing in the walmart lobby with masks for people that want them. They literally do nothing but stand there all day because the few people who wear masks, have their own. They have one in the main lobby and another on the garden area. Meanwhile, there’s a waiting line on the self checkout lanes almost as long as the live cashier lanes.

See here’s the thing Joe. When people become adults, they follow their own rules.

Let’s hope for wandering.

[who knows what evil?]

Media whores are shamelessly pimping this shot to young children with stories similar to this: ‘13 year-old Billy is over the moon to be the first at his school to receive the vaccine’. If there is ANY justice left; these people will burn in hell.

Shove your mask and experimental vaccine up you butt, Biden. You don’t “rule”.

[walkingdead]

This is not a rule nor a choice. The choice is yours either vaccinate or do x,y,z until you are vaccinated.

Ridiculous absolutely ridiculous.

MY BODY-——MY CHOICE

NOT getting their evil shot.

Biden says, “Yak, yak, yak.” I ignore his tweets. I go in stores without a mask, shedding vaccine spike proteins and artificial DNA all over the place. [Little conspiracy theory humor there.]
