Biden pledge to 'shut down the virus' questioned as president predicts winter COVID-19 spike
Fox News
President Biden's previous promises to "shut down the virus" have slowly been walked back after the discovery of the omicron variant, with the president saying the United States will need to "beat it back" before we "shut it down."
However, as the latest variant, omicron, begins popping up in the U.S., the president's language is less forceful and his promises are less grandiose.
"We gotta beat it back before we shut it down. Look, this is gonna take time worldwide. In order to beat COVID, we need to shut it down worldwide," Biden replied when asked if he still intended to "shut down" the virus during a Dec. 3 press conference.
