As of Friday, he is reported to be experiencing \u201cmild\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfsb.com\/2022\/07\/22\/white-house-tries-make-bidens-covid-teachable-moment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">symptoms<\/a>, including a runny nose, fatigue, loose cough, and slightly elevated temperature. The presidential physician, Dr. Kevin C. O\u2019Connor, has prescribed him the emergency-authorized antiviral drug Paxlovid made by Pfizer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unknown whether Biden will experience the now well-known \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/lung\/news\/20220630\/fauci-paxlovid-rebound-worse-symptoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paxlovid rebound<\/a>\u201d that recently afflicted the double-boosted, N95-wearing Dr. Anthony Fauci. Regardless of how his clinical course of Covid plays out, his symptomatic infection is another reminder to Americans that all the masks, Covid testing, social distancing, and vaccinations <em>can\u2019t<\/em> prevent Covid infection, no matter how religiously they\u2019ve been practiced and promoted by government officials. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s statements in favor of vaccines, in particular, are as ubiquitous as his party\u2019s mandates and often aggressive in tone, and they\u2019ve aged about as well as his administration\u2019s predictions about inflation. He\u2019s spent considerable effort demonizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnsnews.com\/article\/national\/susan-jones\/biden-we-have-pandemic-because-unvaccinated-and-theyre-sowing-enormous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unvaccinated<\/a>. Yet when White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked where Biden could have contracted the virus, she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1550188818980020226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replied<\/a>, \u201cI don\u2019t think that that matters, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last winter he prophesied a season of \u201csevere illness and death\u201d for the unvaccinated. Winter wasn\u2019t so easy on the vaccinated, though. <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1057599\/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week-8.pdf\">A February report from the U.K.,<\/a> which has produced more transparent and reliable data than the U.S., showed nearly 4,000 deaths among the boosted occurring within 60 days of a positive Covid test during the 4-week long reporting period (see page 44).<\/p>\n<p>In December, Fox News put together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-pandemic-unvaccinated-falls-apart\">a list of other histrionic quotes and false claims<\/a> made by the president in defense of ensuring every eligible American is maximally jabbed. In September, he said \u201cour patience [with the unvaccinated] is wearing thin\u201d and that their \u201crefusal has cost all of us.\u201d Last July, Biden claimed during a presidential town hall event that \u201cYou\u2019re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.\u201d He also claimed elsewhere that \u201cvaccinated people do not spread the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These statements have been known for some time to be false. The <a href=\"https:\/\/westchester.news12.com\/what-you-need-to-know-about-breakthrough-cases\">CDC<\/a> acknowledged in the spring of 2021 that \u201cfully vaccinated\u201d people can still get sick and possibly spread the virus. This was an understatement; viral spread among the vaccinated is even more apparent since the extremely infectious Omicron variant became prevalent. We all know vaccinated people who\u2019ve been infected.<\/p>\n<p>But the boosters advocated by Biden, CDC Director Walensky, and Dr. Fauci don\u2019t seem to be helping matters much; boosted people are getting infected, too. Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2022-07-vaccine-induced-immune-response-omicron-wanes.html\">trial data<\/a> funded by the National Institute of Health shows booster-induced neutralizing antibodies to Omicron wane substantially by three months.President Biden received his <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/biden-second-booster-covid-19-pfizer-shot-175021596.html?guccounter=1&#038;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&#038;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFrnI5xZIX9uGtO5fx75rkqG6r-yp-6klfp3P9ciYrsb9lC8roP3uqjvybZsq2LPyYr2aVR5hHEutvNDX7yHlH-bDyGzm9VPB2ijS8qPhF6NCQ2vLz19UC4nw78YSVjzfDmOFEC3ls_70pxLb8qhnn29w2iCvUa_SwtqVd5uTxMk\">second Pfizer booster on March 30<\/a>, nearly four months ago. His boosters were administered according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/media\/releases\/2022\/s0104-Pfizer-Booster.html\">CDC-recommended schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream media outlets are downplaying Biden\u2019s symptoms as \u201cmild\u201d and repeating the claim that vaccinations, especially boosters, are still effective at preventing severe illness and death. The fact that the president is taking <a href=\"https:\/\/emergency.cdc.gov\/han\/2022\/pdf\/CDC_HAN_467.pdf\">Paxlovid<\/a>, which is prescribed to people at risk of progressing to severe illness, undermines this claim.<\/p>\n<p>At every step of the way, Biden and his administration have supported failed medical products, refused to denounce harmful interventions like lockdowns, school and business closures, and promoted misinformation about Covid-19. His administration has stoked fear of Covid-19 infections in children and promised a vaccine for babies and young children despite <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/04\/pressure-to-give-preschoolers-covid-shots-could-shatter-public-trust-in-vaccines\/\">extremely low risk<\/a> from the virus and a lack of knowledge of potential risks from the vaccine. <\/p>\n<p>The invasive and authoritarian Covid mitigation tactics supported by Democrats have failed to <a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/search?q=covid+hospitalization\">suppress the spread of Covid<\/a>, yet many Americans still cling to the myth Biden has perpetuated: If they <em>just take the right precautions, <\/em>they can avoid getting Covid. <\/p>\n<p>Adding to the anxiety and resentment roiling our society is the way the president has pitted Americans against each other by falsely claiming the unvaccinated and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/12\/biden-tells-americans-to-wear-masks-for-covid-19-until-2022\/\">unmasked<\/a> are a threat to public health. Yet if even Joe Biden, with his frequent masking and his four mRNA jabs and his strict Covid protocols at the White House cannot avoid symptomatic infection, then no one else can prevent it, either. In her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2022\/07\/21\/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-covid-19-response-coordinator-dr-ashish-jha-2\/\">press briefing<\/a> on Thursday, Jean-Pierre admitted that \u201cAt some point, everyone is going to get Covid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case, why are vaccines being required and promoted as a public health measure to \u201cslow the spread\u201d and \u201cprotect those we love?\u201d If someone thinks the shots will protect them from a severe Covid case, the shots are available (for better or for worse). It doesn\u2019t matter whether the infection comes from someone with or without a jab or a mask. These are personal choices, and Biden\u2019s infection should humble his administration to finally accept this.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Georgi is a Senior Contributor at The Federalist and host of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-180-cast-with-georgi-boorman\/id1457346132%E2%80%9C\">The 180 Cast<\/a>, where she interviews people who have changed their minds on important political and social issues.
