First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19, coming about a month after President Joe Biden initially tested positive for the virus.
“After testing negative for COVID-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening,” Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady’s communications director, said on Tuesday in a statement.
Alexander added that the first lady 71, “tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive.”
The spokeswoman said she was given a course of Pfizer-made Paxlovid, which is known to cause a rebound of symptoms and positivity—even after testing negative. President Biden had tested negative several weeks ago only to return a positive test and a return of symptoms after he took Paxlovid, forcing him into quarantine for about a week.
“Close contacts of the First Lady have been notified,” Alexander added. “She is currently staying at a private residence in South Carolina and will return home after she receives two consecutive negative COVID tests.”
Like her husband, the first lady is double vaccinated and has received two booster shots. It’s the first time Jill Biden has developed COVID-19, according to Alexander.
The president continues to test negative for the virus, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote on Twitter Tuesday. She said that President Biden will follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on close contacts and wear a mask for 10 days when in close proximity to other people or when he is indoors.
“We will also increase the President’s testing cadence and report those results,” Jean-Pierre wrote.
Another top official in the White House, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, tested positive for the virus on Monday for the second time. The 69-year-old will undergo quarantine and “will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home.”
Austin, who previously contracted COVID-19 in January, confirmed to news outlets that his last contact with Joe Biden was on July 29.
And like the Bidens, Austin has received four COVID-19 vaccine doses in total.
Earlier this year, the CDC issued an alert that individuals taking Paxlovid may see a return in symptoms, known as “COVID rebound.”
“A brief return of symptoms may be part of the natural history of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infection in some persons, independent of treatment with Paxlovid and regardless of vaccination status,” the alert issued in late May said.
“Limited information currently available from case reports suggests that persons treated with Paxlovid who experience COVID-19 rebound have had mild illness; there are no reports of severe disease. There is currently no evidence that additional treatment is needed with Paxlovid or other anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies in cases where COVID-19 rebound is suspected,” the CDC added. Jack Phillips
COVID is non-preventable.
Yes it is preventable.
You can just do it with vaccines.
I’m telling’ ya, it was that silly blue dress that gave her the Covid.
Burn, Baybies, Burn
She has a cold how sad
Idiots. Four shots of some shit that doesn’t work and may actually increase you’re chances of getting covid and then they take a pill that makes them get it a second time.
Bwahahahahahahaha Bwahahahahahahaha Bwahahahahahahaha
Sometimes, schadenfreude is so sweet.
A positive PCR test is hardly proof you’ve got covid. It has a 50% false positive rate and a 50% false negative rate. And even if it were 100% accurate that is not considered a case of covid without clinical symptoms. Clinical symptoms do not include, gee I feel tired.
Why do I get sense that the more they keep him in the basement along with the fake doctor of medicine, which whoopie the ignorant slut called her, the higher his poll numbers go up. They need to keep him in the basement as long as possible to November. He happens to be a drag on there hopes to retain both houses.
Yeah sure... “mild” symptoms because she’s been quintuple vaxxed (supposedly).....knowing damn well there’s no way in hell to prove that.
Using that twisted logic I could say I’ve never had covid because I’ve never allowed that crap in my body......and THAT more than likely IS true.
Like her husband, the first lady is double vaccinated and has received two booster shots. It’s the first time Jill Biden has developed COVID-19, according to Alexander.

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh. It’s Deep State meets Big Pharma fraud.
Please don’t bury that poor woman in that sundress after the clotshot cancels her ticket.
Jill Biden has covid??!!
that leads me to a question I have never thought of until now.
I wonder what the protocol and pomp is in the rules & regulations for a First Lady’s funeral.
I kinda think, it would be interesting to find out.
That dress was the weirdest, ugliest thing I’ve ever seen on a person out in society.
Don’t these people have stylists. She is First Lady with access to all kinds of corruptocracy resources. She doesn’t even have to languish on a measly $400 k POTU salary or their savings. Hire a stylist.
It’s like that woman on jeopardy. Why doesn’t she have a stylist?
Mostly a good idea but won’t people start noticing he is worthless?
I mean the ones who didn’t already know it.
“I keep getting the virus more and more often which makes me more and more thankful for getting the vaccines and boosters to keep me safe.”
In the case of Jill Biden, they will shoot her out of a circus cannon and into a vat of breakfast tacos. It will be both fitting for this First “Theydy” and glorious.
Piece-of-sh*t vaccine.
