FACT CHECK: Does This Video Show Biden’s Doctors During A Press Conference?
A recent social media post claims to show a video of doctors discussing President Joe Biden’s health after he contracted Covid-19. The post features a dramatic caption suggesting that doctors are about to “kill” Biden with a medication called Remdesivir, followed by sarcastic comments about adding another drug, Midazolam. However, the claim has been deemed false. The video in question actually originated back in 2020, during former President Donald Trump’s Covid-19 treatment. Furthermore, there is an unrelated context regarding FBI Director Christopher Wray’s comments about Trump’s safety during an assassination attempt, which Trump responded to on social media. Ultimately, the assertion that the video pertains to Biden’s health is incorrect and misleading.
A post shared on social media purportedly shows doctors discussing President Joe Biden’s health after contracting Covid-19.
🚨🇺🇸 Holy Crap – They’re about to kill Joe Biden with Remdesivir ‼️
Sorry – was a typo – they’re about to ‘treat’ Joe Biden with Remdesivir.
Why not give him some Midozolam while they’re at it? pic.twitter.com/KX88gUO6b7

Verdict: False
The video is from 2020 when former President Donald Trump contracted Covid-19.
Fact Check:
FBI Director Christopher Wray recently suggested Trump was not hit by a bullet during the attempted assassination, Fox News reported. Trump responded on Truth Social reiterating that it was, in fact, a bullet and commenting on the FBI’s poor relationship with the public.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, allegedly shows Biden’s doctors discussing his health and the actions taken to help him recover. The video shows a doctor speaking at a podium while two others wearing masks stand behind him.
The caption reads, “Holy Crap – They’re about to kill Joe Biden with Remdesivir Sorry – was a typo – they’re about to ‘treat’ Joe Biden with Remdesivir. Why not give him some Midozolam while they’re at it?”
The claim is inaccurate. The video dates back to 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic when then-president Donald Trump was diagnosed with Covid-19. Trump announced during the height of the pandemic that both he and First Lady Melania Trump contracted Covid-19, CNN reported.
Biden was diagnosed with Covid-19, but has since tested negative, according to The Hill. President Biden has been criticized for lack of transparency with his physicians. Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, has not spoken directly to the media, Fox News reported. (RELATED: No, ABC News Reporter Pierre Thomas Did Not Say The Government Tried To Kill Trump)
This is not the first time misinformation has been shared online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim from the media that Elon Musk is giving Trump $45 Million per month.
