Stimulate Your Senses? Twitterians Mock President Joe Biden for Mispronouncing Vaccine Site Name

Biden, who has been dealing with a stutter his entire life, has made several explosive gaffes over the last few years, like saying that he had been in the Senate "for 120 years", calling his Vice President Kamala Harris "president-elect", or forgetting Donald Trump's name.

US President Joe Biden had yet another mishap during a Tuesday speech, misprounouncing the name of the website dedicated to COVID-19 vaccinations, calling it "vaccines.gum" instead of "vaccines.gov".

"We're going to make it easier than ever to get vaccinated. Visit vaccines.gum – .gov, vaccines.gum – or text to, text your zip code to 438829", Biden said, as he tried to correct himself, but said the wrong name once again.

The president also mispronounced the acronym for the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"I'm asking people to continue to follow the CCD guidance – CDC guidelines", he said.

As usual, many people didn't miss the opportunity to mock the president's gaffe on Twitter.
