President Joe Biden came into office promising to “shut down the virus, not shut down the country.” But a year into his presidency, Covid-19 cases are smashing records and there seems no end in sight, and the White House has given up trying to fight it.
While the Biden administration has ordered test kits to private homes, deployed medical-trained troops to severely hit states, and is undertaking some other initiatives to try to quell the spread of the virus, administration officials have conceded that they won’t win the battle and are content with simply fighting it to a draw, Politico reports.
Biden and his Democratic allies are faced with the unenviable position of trying to show that the administration is trying to fight the virus while also not disabling Americans’ lives and getting clobbered even further in the polls ahead of the 2022 midterms.
While walking this precarious tightrope, President Biden on Tuesday pleaded with Americans to get vaccinated, saying that the US can handle the rise in cases if people are protected against Covid-19.
“We have the tools to protect people from severe illness from Omicron — if people choose to use the tools,” he said. “For God’s sake, please take advantage of what’s available.”
Still, the president admitted that Americans are mostly just confused by the ever-changing guidance, and health officials inside and outside the White House have acknowledged that there’s nothing else the president can do other than hang on tight and hope he survives the continued rise in Covid-19 cases and the electoral storm heading his way this November.

So now we can say Biden killed more people than trump did?
This article is nonsense. I would explain why, but anyone who does not see the nonsense does not want to see the nonsense.
As for “giving up,” who said the virus “would just go away”?
Disgraceful as he shambled trumps handling of the virus
He walked in and had it all handed to him on a silver platter
Vaccines (ok, don’t work great)
Medications being worked on
Antibodies
Systems in place to handle covid
And look what a lousy job he is doing
Deaths under his watch are quadruple trumps
And trump got hit by a truck it was all brand new
Nerve of him to concede and say this isn’t my responsibility
Even though it was arrogant of the government in the first place to decide they can take charge
We gave up our freedoms and didn’t gain much
They stole them
And failed anyway
Now ask for them back people
Let me know how it goes
What discouraging statements did you say about Trump when he downplayed COVID-19, so people ended up dying by not protecting themselves?
Like Titus who wanted to fight with G-d. And G-d proclaimed, “You rasha ben rasha, I have a small insect. Come unto the land and fight him.”
We all know the end of the story.
Biden pre inauguration vowed to fight the virus. But G-d is showing him Who runs the world. Like all his other empty promises he never fulfilled, it’s time to admit defeat.
So now he’s wondering how to get out of this entanglement when his approval ratings are in the dumps.
Any tools left???
Whoa……
VACCINES!
If the first 3 rounds were useless, why not try for a fourth?
And the best part for this sore loser is that as his administration is going downhill he can always blame the unvaccinated.
There’s only one catch…
If EVERONE will be so foolish to take this failed vaccine and the virus is still around, who will be his punching bag then???
cut it out already. everyone of your headlines is a dig at president biden. when is he last time you gave the orange-haired demagogue those kind of headlines? especially today on january 6.
shame on you
“ especially today on january 6. shame on you”
Oh the horrors. Surely YWN didn’t mean to defile such a holy and sacred day.
moishekapoieh:
Do you not realize that 1/6 was done to hurt President Trump and that he told his people to be peaceful…as the riot was already happening?
@moishekapoieh moishe kapoieh!
the vaccine card has a slot for 6 shots. Are there any people with eyes, or have your eyes ceased to function along with your brains?
What are the other, other slots for on the front of the COVID card?
And then, on the back, there are two more slots. Now, you might make the stupid assumption that the slots are only for spanish speaking people, as it is written in spanish. But ask yourself, what in the world would that mean?? That spanish speaking people only need one shot, and then maybe a booster?
it makes no sense. What makes sense, is that they always planned on making everyone get 6 shots.
bk613 – it’s the opposite of a holy day, it’s a day we almost lost our wonderful democracy here in u.s.a
HaKatan – he told his people to be peaceful? what planet are you from? he sat in the lunchroom watching and kvelling for over 3 hours the scene on t.v. while even his children told him to stop the horror
josephblumenberg – yea i’m the opposite of all those frum jews who follow a demagogue, con-artist, liar, lecher and sore loser. wake up.
Ydeichesed – and your point is? yes , we may need 6 shots, maybe even 1 a year, like the regular flu shots.
so? blaming biden? or what?
ON TARGET – and what about the promise of the orange-haired moron who would build a wall to keep the illegals from mexico from coming here. he had 4 years. did he accomplish it? did mexico pay for that wall?
you trump supporters make the rest of us want to vomit.

Presumably you mean then-President Trump. Let’s the remainder of that remark without editing the words, that went as follows:
> “They say it’s going to go — that doesn’t mean this year, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be gone, frankly, by the fall or after the fall. But eventually, it’s going to go away. The question is will we need a vaccine? At some point, it will probably go away by itself. If we had a vaccine, that would be very helpful. I’d be very happy to have a vaccine.”
