White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says COVID-19 testing protocols remain in place for anyone meeting with the president. Her comments come after members of the Israeli delegation tested positive. Asked if Israeli President Herzog was tested, Jean-Pierre says, "anybody who meets with the president does indeed get tested."

    I don’t think the White House should be allowed to do covid tests. The emergency’s over Joe. You said it yourself. Why would you need to be testing?

    Hey look at that, Pfizer doing a blog post mentioning immune dysregulation

    Studies looking at immune dysregulation, which occurs when the body can’t control an immune response, in individuals with long COVID have found T-cell alterations, including exhausted T cells and reduced CD4+ central memory cells. Studies have also reported "highly activated innate immune cells," but a lack of naive T and B cells. These cells all play an important role in helping the immune system fight off current and future infections

      Can't have a coolzone without having one of those fancy charts that shows some important thing sharply decline.

      It's like the stock market crash, but for breathing and/or cognitive function.

          or the chart about working people with disabilities in America

          that chart is grim for two reasons, the big dip from 2020-2021 (disabled people died) and then the immediate large increase well past where it was before the start of the pandemic

            I've still yet to find a satisfying explanation on the data and how it's collected for that graph.

            the big dip from 2020-2021 (disabled people died)

            While that totally may be the case, because it is measuring the Labor Force, the dip may be from the mass lay offs when we went into lockdown. That dip does coincide with the brief time period where we 'flattened the curve' and libs gave a shit. But again, lack of a good run down of the data makes it difficult to tell.

    Imagine if they take out Biden like this.

    And then imagine they take THEMSELVES out like this.

    Zionists stay losing!

        Yep, same. My rheumatologist and her staff stopped masking the second it wasn't required. Disheartening.

    "anybody who meets with the president does indeed get tested."

    I do wonder if that means the entirety of white house staff are getting tested daily or just his one on one meets. That EventScan company has the Whitehouse listed as a client, but it would be pretty funny if they're just testing a handful of people for an airborne virus while all the ghouls are walking around crop dusting the place.
