XCR1250 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 White House says it 'misstated' that vaccines were unavailable when President Biden took office Adam Sabes Fri, May 13, 2022, 9:02 PM In this article: Joe Biden 46th and current president of the United States The White House is walking back a tweet stating that claimed "there was no vaccine available" when President Biden took office, issuing a follow-up tweet on Friday night saying that it "misstated" the availability of COVID-19 vaccines in January 2021.
