On Tuesday, Bedingfield spoke with MSBNC\u2019s Mika Brzezinski and said it was a goal of the Joe Biden administration to promote the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Bedingfield said that most hospitalizations and deaths came from unvaccinated Americans, which has prevented the U.S. from moving on from the pandemic. While she has blamed social media companies for many of the alleged issues, she claimed the real blame was on conservative media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also the responsibility of the people creating the content,\u201d she claimed. \u201c\u2026There are conservative news outlets who are creating irresponsible content that\u2019s sharing misinformation about the virus that\u2019s getting shared on these platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden is using Big Tech as an arm for his agenda.

She failed to mention holding accountable Democrats like Kamala Harris, who previously said she would not take the vaccine because of President Trump\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-candidates-swarm-to-flip-ill-governorship-red\/\">GOP Candidates Swarm To Flip Ill.
