Biden says elected officials “shouldn’t get in the way” of parents who want their kids vaccinated

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:


  • President Joe Biden urged parents to vaccinate their children after COVID-19 vaccines for young kids ages 5 and under were approved.
  • Biden took a swipe at GOP officials, saying they “shouldn’t get in the way to make it more difficult for parents who want their children to be vaccinated.”
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declined to pre-order COVID-19 vaccines for young kids in his state.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday spoke at the White House to tout the day COVID-19 vaccines were approved for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.

Biden took a swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for refusing to use state resources to help health providers pre-order vaccines for young kids.

According to the president, he understood that some parents may have skepticism, but the decision to get a child vaccinated shouldn’t be a political one. 

“Let’s be clear, elected officials shouldn’t get in the way to make it more difficult for parents who want their children to be vaccinated and want to protect them and those around them,” Biden said. “This is no time for politics. It’s about parents being able to do everything they can to keep their children safe.”

Infectious disease experts and some Democrats criticize DeSantis for his decision not to preorder COVID-19 vaccines for infants and young kids ahead of the approval of the vaccines.

Florida was the only state that did not place an order.

If Florida had a small stockpile of doses on hand, pediatricians and children’s hospitals could have started administering shots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s approval.

“The United States is now the first country in the world for safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old,” the president said. “For the first time in our fight against this pandemic, nearly every American can now have access to life saving vaccines.” 

The president visited a vaccination clinic in Washington, D.C. earlier that day to see the rollout of the vaccines. Some of the first doses were being administered in that clinic.

Administration officials are focusing their rollout efforts on community vaccination centers, pediatricians and family physicians.

      Take a basic english class before making comments on a public board. Third grade spelling would make a great starting point. Hopefully a little common sense will creep in and you’ll be able to dismiss the bullshit you just posted. Have a great day!

    Hell Sleepy Joe cannot even walk straight and he criticizes an intelligent man like DiSantis? His priorities as usual are very badly misplaced and misguided. God bless America. Rvn 68-69

    There is NO evidence that young children even NEED this non-vaccine vaccine. In fact, what data there is show that the vaccine is a bigger risk than the virus for young healthy children. Its neither safe and effective. If he didn’t lie, there would be nothing coming out of his mouth.

    So it’s bad to use politics not to push the vaccine, but okay to use politics to mandate that you get the vaccine or you lose your job?

    Florida is a big state with lots of people. Biden and Fauci won’t get their cut from each of the vaccinated children if they don’t continue to push this vaccination scam. Just like deceitful Democrats, Biden and Fauci continue to twist and distort the truth. DeSantis is not standing in the way of anybody or any parents who want to get their children vaccinated. DeSantis has merely offered an opinion that is backed up by medical professionals. DeSantis has made it very clear that any parents who want to get their children vaccinated can do so.
    Biden is so much like Hillary Clinton, who constantly twists the truth to get their followers. Devious Underhanded Despicable Democrats!

    First, where are the long term studies…. You mean there aren’t any, Joe? Second, with the younger crowd, there have been numerous adverse reactions and death from the shots. Enlarged hearts and you want to put this crap that isn’t as effective as you bloviate about into small children? You mean if something happens I can’t sue because there’s no long term studies, isn’t effective, studies show small children don’t need this and you think I’m stupid enough to give my child this? FO joe, drop dead you moron.
