How is he not he's not lying?
Saying that getting the vaccine prevents healthcare workers from transmitting the virus is 100% false.
Even the CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is on record stating that the vaccine does not prevent infection by, nor transmission of, Covid.
It's a known fact at this point. The vaccine was never designed to prevent infection or stop transmission. The 95% that people often think of is how the vaccine attenuates the virus. It's not a reduction in the chance of acquiring it.
In addition, it's also common knowledge that the vaccine has not reduced hospitalizations or deaths in any meaningful way either.
Even if he's dumb enough to be that ignorant — which there's absolutely zero chance for that being the case since he gets daily briefings — it's still a lie.
I think he's saying that a lie isn't just an untrue statement. It's an untrue statement that is known to be untrue by the person making it. He's claiming Biden is too dumb to know what he's saying false, and if that's the case he's not lying. I don't know if I agree with that claim, but how aware Biden is of what's going on is an open question to say the least.
As the President of the most powerful country in the world, and as someone who has spoken to the CDC Director frequently, I can't imagine its even remotely possible for him not to know.
Furthermore, we also know Biden doesn't talk off the top of his head, he reads a teleprompter. The people writing what he says are likely quite competent mentally, so I would still consider it a lie in the end. Although, whether Biden even know where or when he is half the time, that's debatable for sure.

We all know Biden didn't write the script. Ok fine, he might not be technically lying. But the individual who wrote this bullshit certainly is
