PolitiFact Tags It FALSE That Biden & Harris 'Distrusted COVID-19 Vaccines' in 2020

[toobfreak]

PolitiFact’s aggressive defense of Biden and Harris popped up again on Friday. They tagged it as “False” for a Tik-Tok video that “Says Joe Biden and Kamala Harris distrusted COVID-19 vaccines.”

The quotes in the video are all accurate, but they caused Facebook to flag the video as “Missing Context.” As in – the editing is too negative for their liking. Once again, they’re not “fact checking” – they’re context checking.

The short summary in Tom Kertscher's article proclaimed “Video clips appear to show Joe Biden and Kamala Harris raising doubts about COVID-19 vaccines, but they were raising concerns about the rollout by then-President Donald Trump, not the vaccines themselves.” [Emphasis mine.]

THAT is not accurate. If you suggest someone shouldn’t trust the vaccine until something happens – in this case, until the Democrats are elected – you’re sowing distrust in the vaccines.

They bolded the part the "False" video includes. Many remember Kamala Harris in the vice-presidential debate:

I've never seen so much fake news, lies and misinformation as since the government, media, Facebook and Twitter all decided to crack down on it.

I’m old enough to remember when Biden said this…

Vaccine skepticism is only acceptable when Trump is the President. Now, all federal workers must be Vaccinated…

Trump to veterans: Don’t believe what you’re reading or seeing​

"Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening," Trump said. "Just stick with us, don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news."

Trump to veterans: Don’t believe what you’re reading or seeing
