"President Trump missed his July 4th goal on vaccination rates. He's blaming Facebook and social media instead."
"The President's Press Secretary Kayleigh Mceneny said in response to questions about the administrations failures to get people vaccinated, that they would be targeting Facebook post and 'fake news'.
"However the administration refused to answer questions on why Vice President Pence said he would not trust the vaccine while campaigning last year. Also the President continued to wear a mask after being vaccinated, which no doubt raised doubts in the efficacy of the vaccines"
"So while 'fake news' and social media seem to be President Trump's go to scapegoat, the administration is refusing to look at it's own actions and failed messaging as to why it missed it's own vaccination target."
"Furthermore, Mceneny, when pressed by PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor, failed to provide any evidence or data to show their claim that social media and fake news was the responsible factor in why vaccination rates failed."
"Constitutional Law Professor Laurence Tribe noted the uncharted danger of a Presidential Administration targeting a free press and our First Amendment over what he perceived to simply be it's own messaging failure resulting in deaths of unvaccinated people."
