White House Corrects False Claim About Vaccines, But Refuses to Delete It
On Thursday, The White House posted a tweet saying, “there was no vaccine available” when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. However, as of January 2021, over 20 million people in the US had received at least one dose, and nearly 4 million were fully vaccinated, including president Biden.
The White House, on May 13, corrected its inaccurate tweet about the availability of vaccines in January 2021 but refused to delete it, saying that vaccines “were not widely available. “
The White House’s official Twitter account posted the claim on May 13, writing that “when President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.”
Hours after posting the tweet, the
White House admitted its mistake, and said “We should have said that they were not widely available.”
“Vaccines became available shortly before the President came into office. Since then, he’s responsible for fully vaccinating over 200 million people,” the update reads.
