  • On April 21, 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke about the COVID-19 situation in the United States and the state of vaccinations across the country. Presently, all adults across the U.S. are eligible for a vaccine, and the U.S. is administering up to 3.2 million vaccines daily. After Biden gave those remarks, Louder with Crowder, a conservative podcast claimed that Biden said that the national celebrations would be canceled if Americans didn't do what they're told. The New York Post also reported that Biden warned if Americans don’t get COVID jabs they might have to cancel July 4. This coverage is a misleading representation of Biden’s exact words. Per White House transcripts, Biden actually said: Biden did encourage Americans to keep masking and stay vigilant, but he did not actually warn them that he would cancel Fourth of July celebrations. As president, Biden can’t actually cancel someone’s private celebrations, though different states have rules about gatherings in public and private places during the coronavirus pandemic. Given that Biden’s words were misrepresented, we rate this claim as False. (en)
