The speech started with a lie and didn’t get better.
“Good evening,” Uncle Joe told us. Evening? It was 5 p.m. in Washington and 2 p.m. in Los Angeles. Near bedtime for our president, I suppose.
In the 27 minutes that followed, Biden managed to choke out one fact: over 1,000 fully vaccinated Americans were hospitalized with Covid every day this summer -which likely means the current number is considerably higher.
How do I know? The White House spinmasters, aided by the New York Times, are now resorting to calculating Covid infection and hospitalization risk for vaccinated people on a per-day basis.
This statistic is so nonsensical as to be almost comic. Practically any risk will seem tiny over a single 24-hour period. To take just one example: a 90-year-old woman has a 1 in 8 chance of dying before she turns 91. But her risk of death per day is only about 1 in 3,000 (not far from the 1 in 5,000 per day risk the Times has calculated for a vaccinated person to get Covid).
So when Biden said the risks of being hospitalized with Covid if you’re fully vaccinated are 1 in 160,000 per day, what he meant was that upwards of 1,000 vaccinated people are now being hospitalized every day. At least.
Because the vaccines work!
That aside, the speech was what we’ve come to know as classic Biden – loud and empty, in the style of Brezhnev or a late Roman emperor whose name no one knows. If he’d really been serious about forcing unvaccinated people to take the shot, he would have announced a vaccine requirement for air and other interstate travel and entry to federal buildings. Remember, he’s required you to wear a mask to fly – he could at least try to force a vaccine.
But whether because of airline lobbying or because he fears the Supreme Court is done with Covid nonsense – as it pretty clearly showed in striking down the ridiculous eviction ban last month – he didn’t. Instead he once again leaned on companies to do what he cannot. But only companies with more than 100 employees.
To quote my two-year-old – Because why? The ro don’t care about small companies, I guess.
But the plan does have one truly disastrous element: the vaccine mandate for health care workers. The current hospital crisis has little (or nothing) to do with Covid hospitalizations, vaxxed or unvaxxed, and everything to do with the fact that a large fraction of nurses and other medical staff would rather quit than be vaccinated. A fact all by itself should cause you to question both the seriousness of Covid for healthy adults and the usefulness of the vaccines.
So, yeah, last evening’s speech was a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing (unless you plan to visit a hospital in the next few months, good luck with that).
At least he didn’t mention Beau, though. That was a win.

We let the lie continue, don’t we media? The rude awakening cannot be too far off, “what an evil web we weave when we practice to deceive!”
“The current hospital crisis has little (or nothing) to do with Covid hospitalizations, vaxxed or unvaxxed, and everything to do with the fact that a large fraction of nurses and other medical staff would rather quit than be vaccinated.”
No disagreement with the statement. It is a feature not a bug.
the TPTB stole an election and installed a bumbling idiot, this has only embolden them and they are not going to stop until we do something about it
From what Joe said ,I gather that the vaccines don’t work. A broken clock is right twice a day.
I’ll make a prediction. The vaccine insanity will end when they start to vaccinate children. They will be unable to hide the deaths and serious side effects in the noise of normal healthcare. Parents will not be silent about harm being done to their children. I think there are some at the FDA that recognize this and are dragging their feet on the approval for use under 12 years.
Nah, most parents have already been silent on the harm done to their children. Few speaking out about the masks and still all for the ludicrous face diapers for added protection. Just listen to these morons at school board meetings and on the streets.. Already seeing damage to kids from this shit..mentally and physically. Lets not forget that wonderful mother of the year who is so proud to offer up her 9 yr old daughter to Baal to be one of the first given the clot shot in a study by Pharma. The fear driven, ignorant, clueless so called parents will happily destroy their children to please daddy gov and “do the right thing” for the collective hive mind idiots don’tcha know.
Women are gonna soon find what their “right to vote” truly cost. There are few to no alpha males left to protect them from their own stupidity. And I won’t have a whole lot of pity for them. What we have coming will make the Taliban blush.
The argument in favor of the vaccines – which I’ve been susceptible to – is that they suppress bad covid outcomes and deaths. Once you remember that anyone who dies within 14 days of a shot is coded as dying from Covid, that argument goes out the window. Besides, the whole charade is obviously about enacting greater control on people – a social credit score and probable population suppression.
He is a wimp. He has a powerful military behind him that he can hide behind. He is a coward and afraid to face us in person. It is easy to issue treasonous and seditious edicts from behind the White walls of injustice. The enlightened red states of America need to resist and fight back.
Or, apparently, the healthscare industry and associated international bureaucracy has decided it’s time to start killing us off…
