Co-hosts on Fox News The Five on Monday say President Joe Biden is an anti-vaxxer while then-President Donald Trump was ahead of the science and supported mask-wearing.
Both claims are provably false.
Co-host Greg Gutfeld told Fox News viewers that President Joe Biden is definitely doing more harm than President Donald Trump by sometimes wearing a mask in situations the CDC says is not necessary, like outdoors while being socially distant.
Donald Trump was following the science, on masks, Gutfeld lied, and in fact was one step ahead of the science in a number of ways including the vaccine rollout, which is also false. There was not actual plan to get shots into arms when the Biden administration took over in January.
