Many users of social networks are ironic over US President Joe Bayden, who allegedly invited the Americans to vaccinate from hurricanes. We checked whether the head of the United States really gave such advice.
Video with President Biden, in which he calls for US citizens to vaccinate on the eve of a hurricane, the beginning spread On the network since the end of September 2022. "RIA Novosti"Published an article under the heading" Vaccination from hurricanes: Biden made another strange statement. " The article quoted Biden's words: “I want to make clarity. If you live in the state, by which hurricanes often fly, such as Florida or Texas, a vital component in preparation for the hurricane season is immediate vaccination. Everything becomes much more complicated if you are not vaccinated, and a hurricane or other natural disaster hit you. ” Telegram channel "Freshness»Published by Biden's speech, and the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova I commented on the post: "Bayden invented a vaccine from a hurricane?" In social networks Video clip Biden became viral and gained millions of views. Some users notedthat on the eve of the approaching hurricane, people at risk have problems more important than vaccination.
The hurricane "Ian" was formed in the Caribbean Sea on September 24. According to experts, he turned out to be stronger than one of the most powerful hurricanes in the history of the United States - Charlie. The hurricane fell upon the American state of Florida at the end of September 2022 and had already carried away more than 100 people. 10,000 people still Counted missing. On September 29, President Joe Biden at a press conference at the headquarters of the US Federal Emergency Situations Agency (Fema) saidthat Ian can claim the title of deadly hurricane in the entire history of Florida. Biden too announced An emergency in Florida, South Carolin and other states affected by a hurricane.
The media do not specify where exactly the video is taken from, in which Biden speaks of the importance of vaccination in the regions located in the way of Hurricane "Ian". In September, Biden made two public statements on the topic of a hurricane: September 27th In the White House and September 29th In the headquarters of Fema. In none of these speeches, Biden did not mention vaccination. There are no such references in Information ballot The White House, which describes the plan for the preparation of the US administration for the hurricane "Ian".
In fact, the viral clip was taken from a video shot on August 10, 2021 during Biden briefing with Fema and react groups on Covid-19. During Biden's briefing saidthat early vaccination will allow people at risk not to worry about coronavirus during the upcoming season of hurricanes. Here is his literal quote:
“With the advent of the Delta strain, we are observing the pandemia of unvaccinated. The number of sick and hospitalized is the most quickly grows in states with a low level of vaccination, such as Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, which are also in the zone of increased risk of hurricanes. So we do not wait for it to be too late. And if, God forbid, a natural disaster will occur, we must be protected from Covid-19. Let me clarify: if you are in the state where hurricanes often collapse, for example in Florida, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or Texas, vaccination is an important part of preparation for the hurricane season. Everything is complicated if you are not vaccinated and a hurricane or natural disaster has come. If you have to evacuate, if you have to hide in the shelter, the last thing you want to worry about is Covid-19. ”
Thus, Biden quote in 2021 was torn from context. Biden did not offer people to protect themselves from hurricane with vaccination. He meant that vaccinated people can not be worried about viral diseases in situations where they can have more serious problems, such as natural cataclysm or evacuation.
