President Biden ABC News
Yahoo News: 'President Biden absolutely declared a victory too soon,' Leana Wen says
“I am hopeful as I look to the future,” Dr. Leana Wen writes in her new book, “Lifelines: A Doctor’s Journey in the Fight for Public Health.” On the day she spoke to Yahoo News, however, case counts were spiking across the United States, due almost entirely to the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant. Masks were back. So were concerns that schools might reopen in the fall.
A former Baltimore public health commissioner who now teaches emergency medicine at George Washington University, Wen has become a prominent commentator on the coronavirus pandemic. Below, she offers thoughts on how to navigate the next stage of the coronavirus pandemic, as the nation grapples with the Delta variant, students prepare to return to school and President Biden struggles to maintain momentum against the pandemic.
Yahoo News: Did we declare victory too soon?
Leana Wen: The single biggest mistake that the Biden administration made during this entire pandemic response — and I would argue in the entire Biden presidency — was back in May when the CDC said that vaccinated people can take off their mask, but did not have proof of vaccination attached to it. And as a result, people understood the pandemic to be over them. The unvaccinated began behaving like they were vaccinated.

WNU Editor: I have mentioned this before on this blog. The messaging from the Biden White House on Covid has been a mess. But instead of blaming themselves, they are now blaming the media .... White House frustrated with 'hyperbolic' and 'irresponsible' Delta variant coverage, sources say (CNN) and Republicans .... Who Is Not Taking The Vaccine In The U.S.? (July 31, 2021).

Jesus, wnu
He lied
They constantly lie
It's what they do
Hope American's see that soon and handle it the way it has to be done.
And what they can't blame the media for, there's always DJT they can still kick around. That should buy them a few more months. After that, hopefully these clown suits get what's coming to them.
Deadly stuff': Trump admits he intentionally downplayed COVID-19 dangers to Woodward
President Donald Trump acknowledged Wednesday that he intentionally downplayed the dangers of COVID-19 last winter, in an attempt to avoid "panic" and to show "strength" and "leadership."
His comments came in an attempt to extinguish some of the political firestorm set off by the release of excerpts and audio from journalist Bob Woodward's explosive new book, "Rage," due to hit bookstores next week.
"You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed," Trump told Woodward in a Feb. 7 phone call, according to an audio clip posted on the The Washington Post's website. "This is deadly stuff," he said.
At the same time, the president was publicly telling Americans that the new virus was no worse than the seasonal flu, that the government had it under control and predicting that it would soon disappear.
