Biden tries to rally COVID-weary nation: ‘We’re all tired and frustrated’
“Folks, I know we’re all tired and frustrated about the pandemic,” President Biden said on Tuesday ahead of his meeting with his pandemic response team. It was not the message with which he’d hoped to open the new year, but with the nation recording more than a million coronavirus cases on Monday, there was little to do but acknowledge reality, which is that the virus Biden had promised to vanquish remains very much unvanquished.
“These coming weeks are going to be challenging,” the president said, himself sounding weary from months of battling crosscurrents of political resistance and medical misinformation, not to mention a virus that has proved intractable at every turn.
As he has in the past, Biden trained his frustrations on the millions of Americans who remain unvaccinated, despite the overwhelming scientific consensus that the vaccines are safe and effective. He bluntly charged the unvaccinated with “taking up hospital beds and crowding emergency rooms and intensive care units,” thus not only endangering themselves but also prolonging a pandemic that many had hoped would be over by now.
He’s just tired of all those people refusing to be sheep. He keeps trying to fear-monger and be demanding, rather that showing them that the vaccines are safe and they’ll be fine. He’s still trying to push his mandates.
(Fox News) “Omicron is a very transmissible, transmissible variant, but much different than anything we’ve seen before,” Biden said. “You can protect yourself, and you should protect yourself, quite frankly. Get vaccinated, get boosted. There are plenty of booster shots. Wear a mask while you’re in public.”
That photo above is from his briefing. Where’s his mask? He’s indoors in an Executive agency building, and his own EO requires people to be masked. He’s not alone in there, he has all sorts of staff around. Fauci was also there, and, as another photo at the article shows, was wearing a mask, which he’s upgraded to an N95.
But the CDC noted on Dec. 20 that it “expects that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms.”
We already know that lots and lots of people are getting Omicron who are vaccinated. I know three where I work who were vaxxed, two were boosted.
“Many of you will, you know, you’ll experience severe illness in many cases if you get COVID-19 if you are not vaccinated,” Biden said. “Some will die, needlessly die. Unvaccinated are taking up hospital beds and crowding emergency rooms and intensive care units.”
Almost a year of lecturing is not working. If you’re lecturing your kids to clean their room and they won’t, what do you do? Well, punishing them might work, but, that won’t work for U.S. citizens, not when The People are supposed to be in charge with the government responsive, not the other way around. At some point, you’d think Team Brandon would have changed methods. Brandon is not wrong, but, scaremongering is not working.
Biden said the COVID-19 testing situation in the United States is “frustrating” but maintained that his administration is “making improvements” by creating federal testing sites and making more at-home rapid tests available to the public.
Why wasn’t he doing this from day one, almost a year ago? Testing seemed to be going fine while Trump was president.
The president again urged individuals to wear masks in public.
You mean like how he sometimes does, sometimes doesn’t?

Consider Boston, Massachusetts, the unofficial capital of New England (for our international readers, New England consists of six states in the US Northeast, namely Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). Given its northern latitude, the citizens of Boston experience cold and sometimes brutal winters, but more reasonable summers. Globally, far more people die from exposure to cold than to heat, and this makes winter energy policy especially consequential. In the chart below, we’ve plotted the daily average high and low temperatures for the city and overlaid the thermal comfort zone for easy reference. Not surprisingly, the coldest months of the year are December, January, and February. During these months, an enormous amount of energy is consumed as the population seeks to achieve thermal comfort, and the amount of energy needed to do this is bounded by the laws of physics – it scales with the delta from the thermal comfort zone – and, as a practical matter, the tactics deployed at the extremes are highly inefficient.
At the moment, the two major parties in the U.S. are polarized on the role of the federal government. Democrats, as has generally been the case since the civil rights era, favor federal activism to establish certain rights and living conditions nationally. Republicans have more and more uniformly adopted the states rights posture the GOP was initially founded to oppose in the mid-19th century.
