United States President Joe Biden’s comments about tackling Covid-19 have raised a lot of concern on social media.
United States President Joe Biden’s Comments About Tackling Covid-19 Raise Alarm-‘There Is No Federal Solution’
The pandemic has increasingly shown that there is no singular way of making the world return back to normal. The initial emphasis on vaccination has not played out in the way that it was hoped, due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, experts have confirmed that the vaccines do not provide protection against the increasing number of variants that are coming to light. Therefore, there is always an emphasis on getting further vaccinations which cost money and time.
Secondly, there is a growing movement of people who do not want to take the vaccine and have legitimate reasons for doing so. This predicament was made a whole lot worse, as even President Biden seemed to be struggling with what the country should be doing.
In a clip of a speech that he had given, the President is heard saying the following: “There is no federal solution [to tackling the pandemic]. This gets solved at a state level.”
This was immediately jumped on by social media, with many members expressing outrage at the fact that the President could say such a thing.
At time where there is mass uncertainty around the world, as shown by the number of people who are losing their jobs, his comments were not exactly going to instil confidence within the citizens.
One person wrote: “What @joebiden is saying to Americans is: you’re own your own. This time around no extended unemployment, no PPP, no housing relief. It’s just survival of the fittest.”
Nevertheless, defenders of the President stated that his comments were taken out of context. They highlighted the fact that the President had earlier stated he was willing to cooperate with anybody, as long as they were open and frank with him as to what they needed.
The President had stated the following: “My message to the governors is simple: if you need something, say something. We’re going to have your back any way we can.”
It is clear that President Biden is under pressure with the American people starting to lose their patience. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
