CLAY: Joe Biden is, it feels, like almost the only person in the White House who hasn’t tested positive for covid in the past year and a half. Virtually everyone else has.
BUCK: He’s never had covid.
CLAY: Never had covid. He’s gotten all of his shots. Dr. Fauci obviously has tested positive for covid recently. Well, the White House press corps is suddenly getting a bit suspicious about what exactly is about to go when it comes to Joe Biden and covid testing, and there was a bit of a contentious question-and-answer session in the White House press briefing just a little bit ago. Here’s what it sounded like.
BUCK: This is Karine Jean-Pierre, 32.
BUCK: Hold on. Hold on a second. Clay, I have an important question for you: Does Biden have a “weekly cadence”?
CLAY: Is that the most times that the word “cadence” has been used in popular American discourse in a century? This is emblematic of Karine Jean-Pierre’s inability to handle this job, because she has to go back to the same talking point over and over again. But it’s also suspicious — let’s be honest — that Biden has never tested positive. I wonder if he tested positive, would that so undermine the idea of getting covid shots that to a large extent they are afraid to admit if he has?
BUCK: Right. See, you and I and the people listening to this would think, “Okay, if Biden got covid, first of all, we wish him well.”
CLAY: We wish him well.
BUCK: He’s the president, wish him well health-wise. We’d be fine. Chances are overwhelmingly high that he’d been fine. But I do think that in the Democrat, double mask, “maybe I should have worn goggles “this whole time crowd, that would be something of a blow, the same way that Fauci getting it I think has unsettled some people. The great high priest of masking got covid after his four shots? (laughing)
CLAY: And taking virus seriously?
BUCK: After “taking virus seriously,” after his four vaccine shots, still got covid? So I do think at some level they’re worried about the optics of that even though that’s absurd. Because everybody’s pretty much gonna get covid after his four shots?
CLAY: That is the story.
BUCK: After “taking the virus seriously,” he got covid?
CLAY: And if you think, oh, I’m never gonna get covid, there’s probably a decent chance you’ve already had it —
BUCK: Yep.
CLAY: — and just never even knew. And certainly if you have kids, ’cause we know at least 75% of them have antibodies already. So if you think, “Oh, my kids haven’t gotten it either,” well, there’s about a three-out-of-four chance that you’re wrong and they’ve actually had covid they were fine and you never even knew that they had it.
