PBS NEWS HOUR – White House lifting its COVID-19 testing rule for people around Biden – Politics Mar 4, 2024 4:58 PM EST
The 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 and their spouses, bringing to an end the last coronavirus prevention protocol at the White House. The White House said the change aligns its policies with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance.
Given what experts know about the dire threat to senior citizens from covid – “older adults remain at high risk” -, whoever made this decision, and or lobbied for it, should be investigated as a potential national security threat.
At a minimum, people should be scrutinized for their medical incompetence. Nobody can be unaware that President Biden is a senior citizen.
There is also reason to believe the CDC is infiltrated by MAGA, and at the very least right-wing aligned business interests. I was immediately struck by the end of isolation announcement being made by the CDC on Disability Day of Mourning, the day to commemorate disabled people killed by caregivers. It’s like people in the CDC wanted to clearly signal that it’s okay to use covid to knock off vulnerable people someone wants rid of more surreptitiously. There are of course also foreign interests who will be pleased to see more illness outbreaks among high level key decision makers in the U.S. and a hobbled White House. If national security doesn’t look askance at this, one has to consider that those agencies are in fact themselves compromised in some way.
