The Irony Of It All

The irony of it all.

On July 21, 2021 Joe Biden was telling the world that "you're not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations."

On July 21, 2022 the White House announces that double vaccinated, double boosted Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid.

I can relate.

Two weeks ago I tested positive for Covid after avoiding it for over 2-1/2 years.

Unlike Joe Biden and Tony Fauci, I am not double vaccinated and double boosted. I did not take Paxlovid but I did follow some of the protocols from front line doctors who treat Covid regularly.

I also followed a prophylactic regimen of taking daily doses of Quercetin, zinc and Vitamin D for the last two years.

I would like to think that the things I did resulted in my mild symptoms and relatively quick recovery just as I know that Biden and Fauci and others believe the vaccines or Paxlovid kept them out of the hospital. However, who is to really know in any individual case?

My symptoms included some achiness, a low grade fever and being tired. These symptoms lasted for about 36 hours.

After about 72 hours, I felt great but a lingering fatigue came upon me about a day later and stayed with me for about a week with no other symptoms, Simply stated, I just did not have my normal energy for about a week to ten days.

However, less than two weeks after the first symptoms, I was playing 18 holes of golf in 95 degree weather.

I hope Mr. Biden has similar success in his recovery.

I cannot think of anything worse for the country than if he does not have a full and quick recovery.

It would be a devastating blow to the morale and confidence of the nation to see its leader hampered by this virus over 2-1/2 years into the pandemic after so much was promised from the vaccines and Paxlovid.

You have to believe that the public health establishment is living on pins and needles right now with the fear that Biden may not recover quickly.

That is probably not a likely scenario but it would be an event that would have considerable consequences and impact if it occurred. It would almost be the definition of a "Black Swan" event.

There isn't a scenario I can conceive of that would be worse for the public health establishment than for a double-vaccinated, double-boosted Joe Biden to end up with a severe case of Covid considering the narrative that has been promoted over the last two years.

Biden's positive Covid result comes about a month after Dr. Tony Fauci had his own bout with the illness.

Fauci was also treated with Paxlovid but ended up with a rebound case of the disease after taking the standard 5-day course of the drug. He ended up feeling much worse the second time around and took a second course of Paxlovid.

Pfizer states that rebound cases are rare so let's hope that holds true for Biden.

I dare say that it will not be good for the PR department of Pfizer if Biden also has a rebound case of Covid after taking Pavlovid and being quadruple-vaccinated.

I have to say that it is hard not to look at the events every day that have unfolded with Covid and not think...

The irony of it all.

Get well soon, Joe.

Your poll numbers are not good but we need you.

31% overall approval in the latest Quinnipiac poll.

Of note, Hispanics only give Biden 19% approval.

His approval with 18-34 year old voters is 21%.

However, Kamala Harris only has a 26% overall favorable percentage in the same poll.

Who would think we would have someone in the White House with a 31% job approval and most Americans fervently wants to make sure that man stays healthy and on the job?

That is probably even truer of those who disapprove of Biden's performance than those who approve.

The irony of it all.

Indeed.

Get well soon, Joe.
