Biden Accuses 70 Million Unvaccinated Americans of Slowing Economic Recovery

President Joe Biden has doubled down on his claim that unvaccinated Americans are “creating unease in our economy and around our kitchen tables“, saying that the 70 million people who haven’t been ‘jabbed’ are slowing down the country’s economic recovery. To resolve this ‘problem’, he will “[move] forward with vaccination requirements wherever I can”. CNBC has the story.

Biden’s comments came hours after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved distributing Pfizer’s booster shots to roughly 60 million Americans.

“The vast majority of Americans are doing the right thing,” Biden said in addressing the nation, noting that three-fourths of those eligible have gotten at least one shot. He criticised the more than 70 million people who haven’t yet started the vaccination process. “And to make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine with false information the fight against Covid. This is totally unacceptable.”

Economists have lower expectations for the back half of the year following a string of disappointing economic reports. The U.S. economy added just 235,000 jobs in August, well short of expectations for a 720,000 gain from economists polled by Dow Jones. This week, the Federal Reserve forecast 2021 GDP to rise at a 5.9% annual pace, down from its previous forecast of 7% growth. …

Even though the CDC reports that 55% of the U.S. population has been fully immunised against Covid, Biden said the remaining unvaccinated people are hindering economic growth, costing jobs and putting unnecessary strain on the health-care system.

Biden issued sweeping new vaccine mandates on September 9th affecting private businesses and federal employees. Government staff and contractors are required to immunise against Covid with no alternative for testing, while any company with over 100 personnel must implement vaccine mandates that include medical and religious exemptions.

The requirements will cover two-thirds of all workers nationwide, Biden said, noting that 92% of the country’s active-duty service members have been inoculated. He mandated the shots for the military on August 9th.

Biden is too stupid to conceal the nonsense.

But stupidity can be dangerous.

It is possible that he’s perfectly sincere, so addled is he, certainly equaling Trump in bumbling incompetence..

AT least Trump was fun and unpredictable. Biden just sticks to the same old bollocks.

Rick,
I think your downticks are for your comments about Trump which are – it must be said – unjust. Compared to Biden, Trump was a great president, and I say that as someone who wasn’t particularly keen on him. Biden is a complete disaster start to finish: he doesn’t know whether it’s Christmas or Easter – so there’s a snowball’s chance in hell he has the first idea about Covid and the ‘vaccines’.

Trump takes great personal credit for these ‘vaccines’ though. That should give people cause for concern.

I don’t know much about Biden though he does seem a bit dozy, but I’m sure his advisers know exactly what the real score is.

Tulsi Gabbard was head and shoulders above the other candidates but exposed the US’s nefarious involvement in Syria.

Agree. she also had a bit of a run-in with Hillary, after Clinton accused her of being a Russian stooge (couldn’t even be bothered to change the playbook and make up another country!) Gabbard was feeling mildly suicidal for a while but appears to have shaken herself out of it.

What a nobstyler. He’s creating the problems by licensing vaccine discrimination by major companies. Let’s hope the individual states kick his edicts into touch.

it can’t be too long before the health fascist nominally in charge reveals more straightforward “everything in the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state” laws to inflict upon the population.

Biden’s policy is clearly “to fight China, you must become China”.

The guy has no choice — he’s set out his position and will be vilified once it is realised that his policies have made things worse and will make things worse still.

The problem here is the majority of the people, who seem to believe politicians. You’d have thought that they’d have worked it out by now, but no, they keep on believing them.

Vilified by some, sure. Though there are a % that will never, ever, stop voting D, doesn’t matter what they do. Before the election last year, I saw a couple of comments on social media – saying that Biden could viciously assault them, he could theoretically beat their own children to within an inch of their lives, and they would still vote for him over Trump.. no joke or sarcasm at all, I’ve no doubt these people were absolutely serious.

I saw a good one a couple of days ago, claiming that a US boss had avoided mandatory vaccination of his staff by reducing the head count of his company to 99.

He said it was easier than he thought. He got rid of 19 vaccinated staff.😂

More lols. Do they ever stop? Biden can’t accuse the unjabbed of spreading covid because the jabbed do it just as well. He can’t accuse the unjabbed of cluttering up the hospitals, because the jabbed are doing that better (on account of actually being jabbed, it seems). So this approach is about all that’s left to him …

… until, of course, some economist points out that those companies/organisations who aren’t bothered about the jabs are the ones who are more successful, and it’s the others – state-run organisations mostly – who are failing.

Regardless, what a cretin!

The mass psychosis on display worldwide is staggering. Mandating a ‘vaccine’ that has been out for less than a year for a virus which has an IFR similar to flu is incredible.
FFS! Don’t roll up your sleeves like pathetic sheep, tell them to fuck off as they’re clearly quite mad.

Can this be the same Joe Biden that wanted to end ‘…the grim era of demonization in America’? The man who, in his inaugural Presidential address, said:

“History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other, not as adversaries, but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature, for without unity there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos.”

Unity for all, except for those who have chosen not to have the Covid ‘vaccine’…

Biden and Trudeau saying the same evil tripe. Is it worse that Trudeau actually understands the evil he’s pushing, or that Biden – the holder of the most powerful office in the world, is actually senile? In any case, that’s the consequence of letting leftist elites in media and social media manipulate your elections.

Why Totalitarians Promote Hate
This is a video version of the piece linked here a few days ago.

There’s a lot of truth and wisdom in it, albeit I think it’s a little naive for my tastes, to the point where there’s a risk of blaming victims for fighting fire with fire. There is no necessary equivalence between methods used by powerful aggressors and the same methods used by victims fighting back. Sometimes the end does justify the means, and it’s hard to contest that and remain within the real world.

Taliban vs Vaccines

“In just over five weeks since assuming control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have clearly demonstrated that they are not serious about protecting or respecting human rights. We have already seen a wave of violations, from reprisal attacks and restrictions on women, to crackdowns on protests, the media and civil society,” said Dinushika Dissanayake, with Amnesty, in a statement.

Me: And those behind vaccines care about human rights:

Let me tell you my true story and why I am concerned about vaccine shots Truth be told, 35/40 years ago, I was so mentally destroyed from my last marriage breakdown, the second and last one, that I wanted to commit suicide and as it turns out, I am a jumper from the top of high buildings and on the run in to jumping off and killing myself, just before I launched myself into eternity, I had an out of body experience – for want of a better explanation, a cone of light and silence descended over me and a voice came into my head and said “there is nothing wrong with you physically, this is all financial” and I stopped, turned around and walked away and that is the only reason I am still here today. 15 years ago, roughly, I went with the female friend who I was caring for (part time paid carer), to a convention about fortune telling and other “weird” things that women generally believe in and while I was there we saw a guy doing Aura photos and both my friend and I, had ours done. Now, everyone has a motivation to their own… Read more »

not a subscribers to the Telegraph I stopped it when it became the obvious internal newsletter of the Johnson party. However you do get to read a free article a week. Go look at the comments on the children’s minister for injection with a side line responsibility for education article regarding getting your children injected will allow then to return to normal.
Not one readers comment in support. most are on the attack calling out the mendacious behaviour of this man.

Be fair…who on earth wants to be the first to own up to….”okay we spent billions on an experimental medical procedure..and it doesn’t work at all. In fact it’s made things worse, its also likely that we’ve killed and injured more people with it than we saved! The ongoing collateral damage is worse than the original reason we made you have the jab in the first place! Also, on top of that we are still trying to force vaccine passports through, without any fecking evidence that they are anything other than a totalitarian control weapon! Yay! Vote for me!
