Joe Biden Falsely Claims that Journalists Said It Would Be Impossible to Reach His Vaccination Goal

Joe Biden again lied that journalists have been saying it would be impossible for his administration to reach its stated goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days.

CNN fact-checked the statement when Biden first said it yesterday after signing a series of executive orders.

CNN: “But then, after he signed a series of executive actions intended to address the crisis, he was asked by a reporter whether the vaccination goal he announced in December — 100 million doses administered in 100 days — is sufficiently ambitious.

“The question of whether the goal is too modest has arisen in part because the US is approaching a 1-million-doses-administered-per-day level even before Biden gets to implement his plans. The US has averaged 914,000 doses administered per day over the last week, according to data published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“But Biden defended the 100 million goal. He told the reporter: ‘When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible. Come on, give me a break, man. It’s a good start — 100 million.'”

Joe Biden is notoriously loose with his facts. One such example was a mind-boggling lie in which Biden said he was arrested while trying to go see Nelson Mandela. It was such a ridiculous lie that he eventually was forced to admit it.
