"Despite the mounting data indicating vaccination status doesn't stop infection or the spread of the novel coronavirus, President Biden repeated his claim in an address Tuesday that the nation is suffering from a "pandemic of the unvaccinated."
But recent data from around the world indicate the majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among the vaccinated.
"This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated," Biden continues to say from the White House.
He urged parents to get their children vaccinated, despite the fact that statistically, healthy children have almost no chance of serious illness or death from COVID-19 and the vaccines are proving to be particularly ineffective against omicron.
Further, members of an FDA advisory panel last fall were reluctant to approve the vaccine for young healthy children because of the unknown risks, with one member saying, essentially, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
"Look out for their interests here," Biden said Tuesday. "It's the best way to protect them."
The president also urged parents with children too young to be vaccinated to "surround your kids with the vaccinated."

The CDC said in April 2021 that people "can still get sick and possibly spread COVID-19 to others after being fully vaccinated."
That was when the delta variant was prominent, and now with the considerably more contagious but apparently much milder omicron variant taking over, the CDC is clear about the efficacy of the vaccines.
Last month, the CDC said 79% of omicron cases were in vaccinated people, mirroring similar data in Israel. where 80% had received booster shots
On Dec. 20, the CDC said it "expects that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms."
On Monday, a single-day record of 1 million new COVID-19 cases were recorded, nearly double the previous record set only four days ago.
Nevertheless, the death rate has declined by 12%.
... In Ontario, Canada, the latest government figures show more than 70% of people in the hospital for COVID-19 are vaccinated.
Further, vaccinated people have more cases per-capita than the unvaccinated, noted Alex Berenson.
In Germany, where 70% of the population is fully vaccinated, 96% of all omicron cases are among vaccinated, according to a study by the government's Robert Koch Institute.
In Denmark, where 78% of the population is fully vaccinated, 90% of all omicron cases were among fully vaccinated as of Dec. 31, according to the nation's Statens Serum Institut.
Only 25% of hospitalizations are among the unvaccinated in the United Kingdom.

They said the vaccine stopped transmission.
Now they are lying and saying they didn’t.
