CLAIM: Joe Biden claims he ‘saved millions of lives’ from Ebola.
VERDICT: FALSE. Biden’s claim to have “saved millions of lives†in America from Ebola is highly speculative. According to CDC statistics, the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic in Africa included about 28,600 infections and caused 11,325 documented fatalities.
During the Democrat debate in South Carolina on Tuesday night, the candidates tried to score points against President Donald Trump by criticizing his administration’s response to the coronavirus epidemic.
Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed he played a role in saving “millions of lives†in the United States during the Ebola epidemic that occurred during the Obama administration.
Biden made this odd comment, and a string of untrue statements about the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), in response to a question about the CDC press conference on Tuesday that warned the coronavirus is likely to spread across America’s borders, causing problems such as school closings and a shortage of protective masks.
