President Biden and Vice President Harris participate in a candle-lighting ceremony to mark 500,000 Covid deaths in the U.S.

Monday, reinforcing the magnitude of the pandemic even as more Americans get vaccinated and Covid deaths and hospitalizations are declining.

"It really is a terrible situation that we have been through, and that we're still going through," said Anthony Fauci, Biden's chief medical adviser, during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "And that's the reason why we keep insisting to continue with the public health measures, because we don't want this to get much worse than it already is.

The administration recently finalized a deal to buy 200 million additional doses and the president has committed to having enough shots to vaccinate every American adult by the end of July. There is likely to be additional vaccines available, as more manufacturers bring new shots to market. Johnson & Johnson is expected to receive emergency use authorization from the FDA for it’s one-shot vaccine as soon as this week.

A number of Biden’s former pandemic advisers from his transition have called on the president to push mask mandates and widely recommend the use of N95 respirators to protect against the variants. The Biden administration has discussed a proposal that was floated under former President Donald Trump to send every American a mask, though it’s unclear if or when that plan will come to fruition.

TRUMP would go golfing!!

Sad and awesome at the same time. God bless these families that lost members to COVID, and bless our leaders too!

Will show Disgusting sexist photos of a stripper next to our vote. Shame on you. Jaketapper.

Thank you for having an appropriate response to a horrible story. We must learn from this and do better. Right now, in this moment. Please, let's work together for just US. All of US on this planet.

FauciFan Amazing how the American madness has just disappeared, just gone - like the madman said the virus would go (incorrectly) ... what a breath of fresh air the Biden’s are.

Finally a President who cares! What a breath of fresh air!

What a show but a waste of time energy and money.

R.I.P

LIARS!! MURDERERS!!!

god bless them all.

So nice to see HUMANS IN THE WHITEHOUSE

The flu?

I hope they didn’t use our stimmys for this. So tone deaf 🤦🏽‍♀️

Really nice!!!

SenWhitehouse This is class. Before we had brass and trash.

And Ex President Trump... it is what it is?

PaulBegala Everyone including the Marines exhibited the gravity of the moment. May we never repeat it.

SenWhitehouse How many survival checks did this cost?

PaulBegala Photo op.

SenWhitehouse America cares

And just like that Biden and Kamala cured COVID

Classy! I love it! 💘 💖❤

Who would have ever thought we would lose this many? From every corner of the US. Maybe if the president had reacted sooner it wouldn’t have been this bad RIP 🙏 not forgotten

This is what dignity and respect for others look like 🙏

Where the fuck is our money, Joe?

Empty platitudes for the optics. Politicians are in it for money, power and control. They do not give a damn about people.

Biden's $1.9T gender/climate/coronavirus/largesse stimulus package gives $1B to bureaucrats hoping to 'root out the systemic productivity' of the economy

Thanks for letting China kill us Americans btw a fucking mask doesn’t protect you cloth doesn’t stop bio weapon it sucks so many people die it’s sad China won

now do something for all of the victims and stranded citizens of Texas...

Cause we need this instead of the stimulus checks.

I'm glad they're doing something for those we've lost. The grief in this world is almost drowning me!

I hate these type of displays. I’d prefer you do something that helps the people of the U.S. than a photo-op. It’s close to Trump holding the Bible.

Low efficiency and greedy American medical system made all over the world lost faith to USA, COVID-19 made all over the world know American medical ability is low and irresponsible!

How about instead they participate in a giving healthcare to every American ceremony?

Just watch some Trump Republican saying 'you only doing this for attention' 🙄🙄🙄

Who?

Hooray more useless acts of showmanship.Hopefully we can give those candles to each American to sell on Ebay to help pay for expenses during this pandemic.

UMM. Why are there leaves on the trees in February? Where was this done? Certainly not in Washington, DC.

Don't give a damn about anybody but power

Thank you Andrew Cuomo for contributing with elderly deaths to reach this mark. But have they been to Texas yet?

Does nothing to solve the issue. More useless feeling.

Extremely important we take a moment and reflect on this. These were lives lost. This was avoidable and we could have done a lot better. We need to do better.

Cute candles. You gonna do anything about it though?

All damn if you do damn if you don’t!

Amen 🙏 Amen, Amazing Grace Thank you WhiteHouse POTUS VP FLOTUS SecondGentleman KarenPence TiffanyATrump Trump ACUConservative RudyGiuliani LeaderMcConnell

'Did your family/friend die bcuz of COVID? Don't worry!! We're lighting up a candle... you're in our thoughts bro.'

'Commemorate' is the worst word to use, it's a term of celebration. I do think we should pay respect to those who have died because of covid, but we should wait until it is stamped out.

What in the heck

Fake Psyop

This is what a true President looks like❤️

It’s ok Joe has a plan 😂😂😂

Pft...! As if they really care.

bc lighting candles really helps the nation - literally fuck both parties

adoolan34 Virtue signaling !!

adoolan34 Are you sure this was not just another cold weather black out !

Where’s Cuomo?

All lies

Ya nadie muere de gripe, ahora se muere de política:

Por favor, de vergüenza ajena todo este teatro.

See political u suck fight for freedom please help end this stupid idiocy mask bullshit. It’s making people more sick. We know this fake phony propaganda virus will never end.

...516,000 dead in Europe, with its open borders.

Thank you President and Vice president for holding the candle light ceremony. May all the soul rest in peace. watchingfromMyanmar.

Knock this shit off, ok? You’ve already done this. Get back to work and send out those $2k checks to those of us in states where our governors have fcked us over with shut downs. And help ppl w/their student loans too. Democrats.

Ccpchina must be dealt with like nazi germany after ww2

Fucking chinatowns must be no more , asiatowns instead

The carelessness of so many , the poor leadership of the West (ludicrously believed ccpchina would change..) .. the real joeker is 46 , he pretends to be so great

dragonlady9947 🕯🙏500,000 lives lost. I lit a candle tonight and put it outside to honor the lives lost. May they Rest In Peace.

Let us never forget that China killed over 500,000 Americans without firing a single gunshot or tactile nuclear weapon.🇺🇸🙏❤

His party told you all it was racist to close the borders to China at the very beginning. You all are suffering from severe amnesia.

Poor America !

500,000 x .06% = 30,000 CoVid specific deaths. CDC June 2020

performative hogwash

It is a blessing to have a President that has compassion and that knows what many of us are going through because we have loss friends and family during this time. Thank you President JoeBiden.

Beautifully done, elegant and succinct. ❤️

I so appreciate having leaders with ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful thing!!

Politics on Death toll! 😢

Biden: Stimulus cheques Candles

This accomplishes nothing.

500.000 would not of died if Mr,Biden was the president when the virus first started.

If Trump did this, it would be mocked ceaselessly as a malicious distraction, while the covid death counter kept rising. Way to keep a balanced perspective.

Just bow down is it sufficient in America to win emotional then our Indian leaders are master of it

Maybe they should pay for people to stay home so we don't have to have more of these.

Wow JoeBiden . Pandering theatrics

when are they going to participate in a “sending out the stimulus checks” ceremony

Shenanigans Buffoonery Mockery, justice is coming and will b served for their crimes against humanity. CoronaHOAX Plandemic Scamdemic

Damn that cool i guess can we have our 2000 dollars now?

The Ancient Spartans had the 300 that will live forever in history. Trumps 500,000 will also be remembered, but differently. Trump is responsible for their deaths.

Only the strongest leaders participate in candle-lighting ceremonies.

The political divide contributed to 500K deaths, because the DEM didn't want to work with Trump's administration to stop the pandemic. And they used this to do fraud during the election.

I can't believe some of you. 500.000 died. How can so many people be Heartless. You make me sick. Ty Jake Tapper. Mr.Biden Mrs Biden ❤ ♥ 💙 💕 💖

♥️

Conyers47 This is the only way The_Lie and The_Light will be associated with each other.

So many bootlickers

Did someone light the candle for Joe? People as lost in dementia like him shouldn't be playing with fire.

ChristineHance2 What we did to ourselves on January6th was worse than how Iran treated our hostages. What our 45 did to us (politicizing COVID & causing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths) was worse than anything the likes of Bin Laden can ever do to us. Yet, millions still believe.

Harris is funny she claims whites are all prejudice but her running mate is white and HER HUSBAND is WHITE what's up with that or is her husband the only white person she knows who is not prejudice, Things that make you go Huh.....

This is some weird Illuminati shit.

Lighting candles isn’t going to fix the issue,or you will be lighting more candles in a few months for another 100000

this_vid

Honor their deaths by passing a stimulus check, pausing evictions, and raising the minimum wage. It’s the least you can do.

Debbie31330724 May God comfort their families 🙏🏾

On your mark.....get set...... PANDER!!!!!

🐂💩 There's too much blood on this administration's hands to pretend they care.

Pay us instead.

No stimulus checks, but let’s to a moment to draw attention to ourselves

Mourning, or celebrating?

bunch of goddamn pussies! Besides, what do you think you have an immune system for? It’s for killing germs! But it needs practice... it needs germs to practice on. So listen! If you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along

Unfathomable. Just unfathomable.

It’d be better if they held a check sending ceremony for the living...

I love them all so much. They show compassion and care for the entire country, and it's so needed.

Where biden at his castle 🏰 Rock film 🎥 studio of Hollywood studio all lies there is no virous the virous is in the shot

Impeach Biden

😭😭😭

Who had to light all that

Cognac4Paws So moving. And Presidential! Thank you President Biden. Such a sad milestone. Thank you for honoring their lives.

So why doesnt bidens press secretary amswer the question on whether bidem still believes cuomo is the gold standard for gov3ners after his covid cover up

...oh yeah lighting candles, that’ll do a lot of good. Gimme a break. That’s a great plan to rid the country of COVID-19.

Thank you!

Yet JoeBiden KamalaHarris have no problems allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross the Mexican American border without testing. WTF. JoeBiden & KamalaHarris have singlehandedly fkd this nation up in less than 60 days...a new record.

God Bless America! Thank you Marines! Keep a watchful eye on our American treasures! We’er getting our country back!

How sweet 😶 A new Washington tradition is born: a photo op for each new 100k dead.

amazing how Hollywood set looks just like the white house

wow. more useless, empty gestures instead of ACTUALLY helping. like, you know, they promised to do on DAY ONE with $2000 checks

This is what I remember a President of the United States of America portrayed to us all of my life. Dignity, Reverence, Leadership on Dark Days and Nights to let us know America and it's people were being led to the best of anAmerican President's ability to get us through😭 times

He's going to need a lot more candles when millions of illegal aliens invade the USA due to his open border policy. Be sure to thank him when you catch the virus?

80,000+ have died under JoeBiden ‘s watch while he plays Nintendo and takes vacation.

The death toll has went up 100,000 in the first month of their administration? That’s unacceptable!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stunning. Thank you, Pres. Biden and VP Harris.

Checks, not candles... tf... people didn’t stop dying and suffering because you beat the orange one...

Yeah, I'm sure the families of the 100k that Sleepy Joe and Kamel Toe MURDERED in the last month are very appreciative of the ceremony. idiots!

500K that did not have to pass. Gone but never forgotten. 🙏😢💔

Joe has sooo much blood on his hands in just 1 month.

Biden is responsable for +100,000 under his presidency.

ShannonFreshour Really very nice. I hate that all this death makes me fearful. My 1st thoughts were of if they were safe, standing so exposed.

Hahaha 😂 I love democrao

Soprry

I don't think 500.000 people die from covid

America’s President and Vice President. We love them!! Thank you so very much!

💔

soimportant tothe families

100k death count on this current administration

How's that whole cops killing Black men thing going Kamala?

And we’re suppose to believe they give a crap about the people their friends killed?

So very very awesome. Thank you for your remembrance!!

Those numbers seem inflated

Instead of lighting candles, maybe POTUS JoeBiden & VP KamalaHarris could give us MedicareForAll during a deadly pandemic? How Biden Could Give Everyone Medicare on His Own PublicHealthEmergency ddayen TheProspect CoronavirusPandemic LibbyMontana

cathyjgahanart It’s sad but good that our President takes time to lead grieving. These people known or not are gone forever.

What a compassionate President we have, for all his constituents

The Donald Jonestown Trump Genocide continues

A sobering remembrance & tribute to the more than half-million Americans lost to COVID19 🙏 NeverForget WearAMask

May the souls of our fallen citizens RIP 🙏

A beautiful gesture for those we've lost. ❤️

What a different, our president Joe Biden, giving condolences to all those who lost their love ones, “ WHAT A DIFFERENT “ snake Trump will never never do this,can anyone give d American ppl an example of snake Trump did to stop d virus, only one example.

is this the part where democrats are outraged because he 'murdered them in cold blood' like trump apparently did? or is it only like that when trumps in office?

Thank you!

BidenLied where’s my immediate $2000 Covid relief check?

Celebrating?!

Maybe do this later .... read the room, people r still dying

It can’t be ceremony. Commemoration would be the right word.

'Unrestricted Bioweapon' is based on the definition of biological weapons of the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences. LiMengYan redefines the essence of SARSCoV2: 'Unrestricted biological weapons'. There is also the 'Unrestricted Biowarfare'

Get the stimulus package done you 🤡🤡🤡

Beautiful.
