WASHINGTON (AP) — For more than a year, President Joe Biden’s ability to avoid the coronavirus seemed to defy the odds. When he finally did test positive, the White House was ready. It set out to turn the diagnosis into a “teachable moment” and dispel any notion of a crisis.
It was all part of an administration effort to shift the narrative from a health scare to a display of Biden as the personification of the idea that most Americans can get COVID and recover without too much suffering and disruption if they’ve gotten their shots and taken other important steps to protect themselves.
The message was crafted to alleviate voters’ concerns about Biden’s health — at 79, he’s the oldest person ever to be president. And it was aimed at demonstrating to the country that the pandemic is far less of a threat than it was before Biden took office, thanks to widespread vaccines and new therapeutic drugs.
Conveying that sentiment on Day 1 of Biden’s coronavirus experience virus wasn’t always easy, though.
In a lengthy briefing with reporters, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said repeatedly that the White House had been as transparent as possible about the president’s health.
Dr. Leana Wen, a public health professor at George Washington University, said it was good for the White House to send the message that Biden can keep working even after testing positive.
“That shows that it’s business as usual,” Wen said.

Maybe he should have kept masking up. Surely THAT would have prevented it.
The trouble is, they only want to teach about “transgenderism” and “green energy”. Nothing useful or intelligent.
I’m trying really hard not to wish this would blow up in their faces.
If he died from it, it would put them in a world of hurt.
His demise before the mid-point of his term would, I believe really screw up their plans.
It’d be a great object lesson if he dropped dead. Kamala could say “See? I told you so.”
Complete nonsense. There are a fast-growing number of people in this country who recognize now that this Covid-vax-revax-boost-boost-boost stuff is pure nonsense. You vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted and boosted again sheep are CARRIERS! You’re Typhoid Marys. And you are dying in larger and larger numbers...
yep, the vaxx does not work
Of course, the AP makes this into a pro-Biden piece. How about a story discussing that the “vaccines” don’t appear to be working? How about reporting on Biden’s claim from a year ago that we are facing “a pandemic of the unvaccinated?”
The only thing that comes out of the White House these days is reeducation/brainwashing
Obscuring Brandon’s insistence that the vaccine is totally effective and that the disease is being spread solely by the unvaccinated. For Democrats, someone must be blamed and it’s never them. Because it usually is.
Idiot told us repeatedly that getting the ‘vaccines’ would prevent one from getting COVID, along with most of the COVID ‘vaccine’ pushing media, pundits, etc. and ALL OF IT just sank to the bottom of the ocean floor faster than the Titanic with yesterday’s announcement of the Idiot contracting COVID despite having all the ‘vaccine’ shots and boosters to boot.....yeah, a definite ‘teachable moment’................!
It’s called twisting facts. Like claiming that DJTrump was racist for forbidding immigration for “ahithole” countries. Not brown or black countries. “ahithole”.
NYC now being a “ahithole” city has nothing whatsoever to do with its demographics. It is cultural. And, NYC has become a cultural “ahithole”. Are you living there and not part of the rot? Welcome to my world, I live in CaCaLand.
Moving the goal posts.
This time last year they were still saying the jab would stop the virus.
Now they’re trying to claim that the jab lessens the severity of the virus.
For two years the left has been overreacting, and demanding draconian measures to stop the spread. Now that Biden has it, all of a sudden it’s hardly an inconvenience.
always thought he would step down 1/21/23 so kommie could serve 10 years
then she opened her mouth
revised plan
biden resigns for health reasons; kommie steps up; the real 2024 candidate is appointed vp
depending how much kommie f’s up she can finish the term or be pushed out so the 2024 candidate can step up
so who is the next obama puppet?
The left is controlled by their green religion. Unfortunately, it doesn’t need to make sense.
Who’s to say he did/does have covid?
I think they just wanted to hide him away for awhile, after the ‘I have cancer’ gaffe.
Again, they DO NOT know this. They are just bullshitting everybody into believing it. One statistic you won't find, is the number of deaths of those that have been vaccinated. It's all a lie.
It's a long potential list, pretty much the entire U.S. government, anyone in education, all Dem elected officials countrywide. So the question is, who is electable?
