The Biden Administration tweeted out disinformation on Thursday when they claimed that President Biden deserves credit for covid-19 vaccinations.
As The Daily Wire reports:
The official White House twitter account tweeted that when Biden took office, on Jan. 20, 2021, there were millions of Americans unemployed and no COVID-19 vaccines available. The tweet went on to tout the decrease in unemployment since then, calling it the fastest drop in unemployment at the start of a president’s term ever.
When President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available.
In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3M jobs and the unemployment rate stands at 3.6% — the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President's term ever recorded.

There were, in fact, COVID-19 vaccines available to the public for weeks before Biden took office. The first COVID-19 vaccine dose was administered in the U.S. on Dec. 15, 2020, under former President Donald Trump’s administration, more than one month before Biden would become president. Millions of doses were distributed in the following weeks before Biden took office, with nearly 1.2 million doses administered on Jan. 19, the day before Biden became president, according to The Washington Post’s vaccine tracker.
Biden himself had already received two doses of the coronavirus vaccine before he became president. He received his first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine Dec. 21, 2020, and then his second dose on Jan. 13, 2021.
President-elect Biden received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine because he trusts scientists.
Our administration is committed to doing everything possible to ensure every American has all the information they need to get vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/9FzLEeqwOi

In spite of its blatant falsehood, the tweet remains on Twitter and so far hasn’t been flagged as ‘misinformation’ by the liberal media.
