White House lifting its COVID-19 testing rule for people around Biden | PBS NewsHour

White House on Monday lifted its COVID-19 testing requirement for those who plan to be in close contact with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris & their spouses, bringing to an end the last coronavirus prevention protocol at the White House.

Lmao why? Why would they stop testing? Are they really that high on their own supply that they think COVID is over? I understand why they got rid of testing and mask requirements for everyone else, but I would have thought the octogenarian president of the United States would be a little more cautious.

This is just going to be a slam dunk for Trump after Biden dies from COVID. He'll have a field day having survived it when Biden couldn't

Lmao why?

Messaging. "We're 100% back to normal, jack!"

Don't forget that Biden went to not one but two superspreader events in 2022. And Biden and his inner circle knew before the events happened that they would be superspreaders. The first was the Gridiron Dinner. The second was the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Biden risked his own elderly health to force through the message "We're back to normal!"

Even super-lib Trevor Noah made a joke about it.

Noah: Did none of you learn anything from the Gridiron Dinner? Do you read any of your own newspapers? You guys spent the last 2 years on the importance of wearing masks and avoiding large indoor gatherings then the second someone offers you a free dinner, you turn into Joe Rogan.

Right after "...Joe Rogan" - the camera goes to Biden. He laughs and then he looks down oddly like he just suffered a stroke.
