"Think about it. If Biden was recently exposed to COVID-19 via his wife, and the administration is of the belief that he could pass the virus to others, then there's no justification to have him in the room at all. Personally, I doubt there was any danger to anyone, and certainly, the discussion of masks between Jean-Pierre and the reporter is hilarious to me, given what we know about their lack of efficacy, but the White House certainly thinks masks work.
"Given that, wasn't it inappropriate and dangerous for Biden to remove his mask within inches of another elderly gentleman? Isn't that a breach of protocol, especially given Jean-Pierre goes on to claim that the president will be wearing a mask when meeting with world leaders soon?
"To be frank, I'm not buying any of this. I think Biden simply got confused and left the ceremony earlier because that's exactly the kind of thing he would do. These attempts to backfill an explanation just come across as dumb and unbelievable. ". . .
. . ."Hey, if Joe Biden doesn't want to wear a mask, I'm down with that. As my colleague Bob Hoge previously explained:
Also, a major February study from the Cochrane Library—which is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—showed that wearing a mask was effectively useless in stopping the virus, so why would anyone want to? Not to mention that then-White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said in December 2022, "There is no study in the world that shows that masks work that well."
"In my personal opinion, masks should be an optional thing, with businesses and medical offices and the like being allowed to set their own rules rather than mandates being put in place by the states/feds to force the issue.
"The problem is that the federal government's preferred "experts" on the matter, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, keep pushing for their use, and when Fauci says "jump," BidenCo. usually says "How high?' "
Joe Biden Isn't Just Coming Across as Inept, Republicans Are Succeeding in Making Him Toxic – RedState . . ."Americans don't have far to look for reasons against voting for Joe Biden in 2024. It seems that a significant majority across the policy board think he's done a pretty terrible job. We're now two years out from his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and ever since that moment, Americans by and large haven't really trusted that the best people are in charge of our government."
