Biden Claims “The Pandemic Is Over” Despite 3,000+ U.S. Deaths Per Week

HeadlineSep 19, 2022

On “60 Minutes,” President Biden said the pandemic was over, when asked by CBS’s Scott Pelley.

Scott Pelley: “Is the pandemic over?

President Joe Biden: “The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. It’s — but the pandemic is over.”

Many public health officials criticized Biden’s comments, which come as the White House is pushing people to receive newly reformulated COVID-19 booster shots. According to data collected by Johns Hopkins, COVID killed 13,000 people across the U.S. over the past month as 2.2 million new infections were reported.
