   Biden had it all planned before he stole the election from   
   feckless idiot Trump.   
      
      
   >According to Johns Hopkins University’s data on COVID-19   
   >deaths, since Jan. 1, there have been approximately 353,000   
   >deaths from the pandemic. This is about a thousand more   
   >COVID-19 deaths than in all of 2020.   
   >   
   >That is to say, more people have died from COVID-19 under   
   >President Joe Biden than under former President Donald   
   >Trump.   
   >   
   >There are some important details to take into account,   
   >however. Trump lacked the benefit of vaccinations until the   
   >last month of his presidency, whereas Biden had them from   
   >day one. Biden, on the other hand, has had to deal with the   
   >surge of the delta variant, which spread throughout the   
   >country, even among the vaccinated.   
   >   
   >Then again, under Biden, the COVID-19 seven-day fatality   
   >rate in September was higher than last September.   
   >   
   >“The coronavirus doesn’t really know what year it is,” noted   
   >Dr. David Dowdy, an associate professor of epidemiology at   
   >the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “And   
   >the death has largely come in waves.”   
   >   
   >In reality, these numbers should not be surprising. The   
   >history of pandemics shows that there are multiple waves and   
   >variants that frequently lead to a lot of people being   
   >infected and dying. Biden never had any business promising   
   >he could beat the virus.   
   >   
   >It is amusing how, in year one of the pandemic, every story   
   >about the virus was a “blame Trump” story. Absolutely   
   >nothing Biden has done is working, yet Biden really never   
   >gets blamed for anything.   
   >   
   >Sure, Trump said a lot of wacky things, but Biden has told   
   >many falsehoods about the virus as well. He stated, for   
   >example, that "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be   
   >hospitalized, you're not going to be in the ICU unit and   
   >you're not going to die." And then, shortly after those   
   >comments, Biden contradicted himself and added that even if   
   >vaccinated people do "catch the virus," they are "not likely   
   >to get sick."   
   >   
   >Further, when discussing the delta variant, Biden stated   
   >that vaccines "cover" the delta variant insofar as people   
   >will not contract the virus if vaccinated. "You're not going   
   >to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,” Biden said.   
   >   
   >Presidents should be given some leeway when they talk about   
   >pandemics. They are just relaying information from “experts”   
   >who seem to be either wrong or oversimplifying as often as   
   >not. That said, if Biden were held to the same standard   
   >Trump was, he would be exposed for his lies and   
   >incompetence.
