I'm tired of Republicans not getting vaccinated then blaming Biden for the high Covid numbers

Biden needs to point this out with his numbers on Covid dropping. The GOP and Fox want the Covid numbers to stay high to hurt Biden which is why they fucking discourage people from getting vaxxed while getting vaxxed themselves. Most independents and even most Republicans are vaccinated. They need to be reminded that FOX and the GOP are the ones causing the problems!!! Why can't Dems ever get good at controlling the message?

several life insurance companies reported higher than normal death claims for group life insurance policies especially in the south- average age in group life about 46 years old it said -these are life insurance policies issued as a benefit- look up Prudential Life’s investor replay - they explain it all - doesn’t affect their bottom line - lots of people bought coverage during the pandemic

How are demás supposed to control the message ? Biden can just call Fox and tell them to stop?

Trump was really good at this type of thing except he lied all the time. But he would blame Dems for stuff he caused constantly. In this instance Biden would just be stating a fact. But the public needs a reminder now and then.

Like the Sanders-McCain VA bill signed by Obama was a common one.

repeat it over and over across different news sources? They are going to do that for him the way they would for the Republicans?

How come the reporters don't bother with the "hard hitting questions" when it comes to Republican lies?

Publicize a rule that Republicans are not allowed to get the vaccine. Only Dems and the unaffiliated. Republicans would demand the vaccine immediately.

Why can't the Dems come out and state that the Rs are engaged in biological warfare against the United States?
