Andrea Widburg . . . "During the press briefing, Doocy asked the obvious question, which was whether "somebody at the Biden administration or in the Biden administration update this guidance for political reasons." Jen Psaki responded with an unequivocal "no."
"Well, if politics didn't drive the about-face on masks, asked Doocy, what was the medical or scientific breakthrough that suddenly occurred on Friday to justify this change?
"Psaki, as is her habit, didn't immediately answer the question. First, and very condescendingly, she put Doocy in his place by implying that he had not been paying attention. "Well, I know that Dr. Walensky did an extensive number of interviews yesterday to answer exactly that question."
"Nevertheless, Psaki did Doocy the "great" favor of giving a substantive answer. She repeated information we all already know: that vaccines work, that they are effective against variants of the virus, and that vaccinated people are not contagious. In other words, she gave was a non-answer because the real question was whether something new had come along and, in fact, nothing had.
"At this point, Doocy could not resist a "gotcha question"." . . .
