Joe Biden, CDC, completely screws the pooch on messaging about vaccines and masks.

Joe Biden wants the IRS to have billions of dollars more, and we prepare for Joe Biden's

big congressional speech tonight. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Most Americans think he's done a wonderful job with COVID, and that is really just an after effect of the reality, which is that the COVID pandemic is waning. When things get better, generally speaking, the president gets the credit, even if he has nothing to do with them. And the fact is that Joe Biden had pretty much nothing to do with COVID getting better across the country. In fact, Joe Biden has in many ways made things worse. Why? Well, his messaging when it comes to masking and the

vaccines is completely ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. So, first of all, when it came to the

And if you get the vaccine, you will be able to go back to your regular life. It was a very simple message, and it was the message that was backed by science, because the reality is that as more and more Americans get the vaccine, and millions of Americans have already had COVID. We are reaching herd immunity. It's why you've seen the rates of COVID plummeting in a huge number of places around the globe, including in the United States. It's why you have seen that the people who are still getting COVID right now are people who are younger and healthier,

which is why the death stats and the hospitalization stats across the nation

are way lower than they were anywhere near the height of the pandemic.

And again, as more and more people get vaccinated,

forget about her immunity,

those people are basically impervious to COVID.

The rates of hospitalization and death from COVID after you've
