Following a White House briefing last Thursday on the spread of the omicron variant, Biden said, “We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.”
As usual, not true:
This is a genuine public statement from Jeffrey Zients, counselor to U.S. President Joe Biden and the White House's COVID-?19 response coordinator, at the beginning of a White House press briefing. However, contrary to how it has been presented by some, it was part of a longer statement emphasizing the importance of wearing masks and getting vaccinated, not a standalone warning.
