He declared our "independence" from COVID-19 a mere six months into his term on July 4, 2021, only to watch it blow up in his face. Cases and deaths skyrocketed soon after his declaration of victory, and within a year Biden had accumulated a higher number of COVID deaths on his watch than there had been under Trump.

He was so desperate to get COVID under control that he attempted a vaccine mandate, which didn't go over well and didn't get too far. He'd banked his entire strategy on getting as many (read: all Americans) vaccinated, even those who didn't need to be. Instead of focusing on getting high-risk groups vaccinated, he pushed universal vaccination, even for those who were young and healthy, including children, who were at virtually zero risk for severe illness from COVID. He essentially called Americans resistant to getting vaccinated murderers by calling the pandemic the "pandemic of the unvaccinated," which was not only irresponsible and divisive but also untrue.

As it quickly became clear, the COVID vaccines didn't offer immunity. They did offer some protection maybe, though, and so the whole COVID booster boondoggle was shoved down our throats. Plenty of people bought into the charade, but Biden did such a terrible job that when the national emergency officially ended, there was no fanfare at all.
