Are you sure about that? Telling people that they won't catch or spread covid once they got the first two shots isn't harmful? Because we now know that the vaccines don't actually prevent catching or spreading covid.
All I'm seeing here is that because Trump exists, Biden is automatically innocent of any wrongdoing. This binary view of politics is the real problem with this country.
That's only because you actively close your eyes on everything other commentators say. Again, just for you;
Nobody is denying that Biden exaggerated.
It's just completely and utterly negligent. Of course we know now that vaccination does not "prevent" all spreading. Still, here is one of many reviews underlining the effectivity of vaccines. While this is not a complete prevention, it's just pedantic and catching straws to find wrongdoings on both sides. Please refrain from spreading misinformation in regards of the effects of the vaccine. So - the 2nd time I ask, maybe you'll answer now: How is that NOT an exaggeration?
You simply cannot compare Trumps STRATEGY that caused 40% more deaths than necessary to one claim that was even backed by the CDC at the time. Fearing it might be not so easy to understand: Thats how science works...you work with theories that change over time.
I don't feel like anyone could use your argumentation other than in bad faith. If you don't please consider again if "both sides are the same", if one side told something untrue, while the other murdered your family - talking abstractly now.
