White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Tests Positive for COVID-19
Psaki is the latest, fully vaccinated, Biden official who has come down with an infection.
I have noted that it is quite probable that everyone will come down with a case of COVID at some point.
And, despite her vaccination status and her defense of the vaccine-focused policies of the Biden administration, the White House Press Secretary has now been diagnosed with a COVID infection.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, she said in a statement, adding she had last seen President Joe Biden on Tuesday.
Psaki, 42, who stated she was vaccinated and experiencing mild symptoms, said she and the president sat outside more than 6 feet (1.8 m) apart and wore masks on Tuesday. Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Saturday, said a person familiar with the matter.
“I am disclosing today’s positive test out of an abundance of transparency,” Psaki said.
Psaki, the main spokesperson for the White House, is the most high-profile person in the Biden administration known to have contracted COVID-19 since he took office in January.
Psaki is the latest, fully vaccinated, Biden official who has come down with an infection.
Psaki’s diagnosis also comes less than two weeks after after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tested positive for COVID-19 just days following an event with the president.
On Oct. 19, a fully-vaccinated Mayorkas tested positive for COVID-19 as part of routine pre-travel protocols.
Three days earlier, Mayorkas had attended the 40th Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol alongside Biden, where they were photographed just feet apart without masks.
We wish Psaki a speedy recovery. She will need all her strength to defend the Biden administration’s many failures.
Here’s hoping the administration begins placing a little more emphasis on treatment options and natural immunity. Merck’s new product seems poised for success.
Merck fell out of the race to develop COVID-19 vaccines earlier this year but could vault to head of the pack for treatments in 2022.
The drugmaker’s potential antiviral, molnupiravir, may generate $5 billion to $7 billion in sales through next year, company executives told analysts Thursday morning. That could include as much as $1 billion this year if regulators authorize it in December.
The company has asked for authorization in both the U.S. and Europe for what would be the first pill to treat COVID-19. All other treatments backed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration require an IV or injection.
“The need for additional treatment options remains key in combating the COVID-19 pandemic,” Dr. Dean Li, president of Merck research laboratories, told analysts during a Thursday call to discuss third-quarter results.
The FDA has said a panel of outside experts will meet late next month to consider the treatment for use in adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are at risk for severe disease or hospitalization.

Karma is a bytch
So is Little Red Lying Hood.
I liked her at the beginning, and gave her a chance.
But to become the pathetic liar and propagandist she let herself is such a turn-off. I thought she’d have the brains to at least raise an argument. But, nope.
She’s just a liar.
One thumbs-down for not knowing better than to give her the benefit of the doubt. She has not “become” a liar and propagandist; she always was a liar and propagandist.
“We wish Psaki a speedy recovery. She will need all her strength to defend the Biden administration’s many failures.”
Because we’re so much kinder than the left-wing slime who vilify the DeSantis family.
Apparently, with the Biden Administration there are varying degrees of transparency. On this, Psaki is exercising an “abundance of transparency”. This makes me wonder what the usual transparency is?
Oh noes! She only has a 99.9% chance of surviving the plague that conveniently demands we reorder society to the oligarchs’ liking!
Aw, it isn’t Covid, honey.
You suffer “Oral Diharrea”
Thankfully she was “vaccinated”, so she isn’t as sick as she might have been.
Wrong, she remains a sicko. There is no proof any of these people have even gotten the non-vax shot. Assuming she did, her chances of getting really sick are probably worse than if she hadn’t.
The government that is pushing this non-vax shot are the same people that export the torture of puppies to middle eastern countries. They are the people that take pleasure in torture.
That first sentence is nonsense anyhow, it’s completely non-falsifiable. People may suppose such things, they might even believe them, but there is no way to actually prove them.
Interesting how so many of these cases are ‘after a meeting with the president.’ Just wondering…
If she’s like most people, she may have some flu symptoms for a couple of days while her own immune system kicks in to high gear and actually immunizes her against the FauciFlu.
If she’s been not-vaxed as she claims, then she likely will not achieve immunity.
Eventually – everyone is going to catch covid – vaxed or unvaxed.
the sooner this point is acknowledged, then sooner herd immunity is going to be achieved.
Is this the one time she’s not gaslighting the public?
No, it’s not possible. Her lips were moving.
We wish Psaki a speedy recovery.
Why do “we” do that. It’s a given fact that the left glories in the fact if a Republican/Conservative is infected with The Covid® and only wishes the person affected the worst of outcomes (eg. death). So why should “we” be so polite as to wish Psaki a speedy recovery. I’m not going to. So in keeping with the lunatic leftists attitudes on these things I hope she has a long and painful recovery. The longer she isn’t behind that podium spouting her particular brand of insanity the better.
Indifference would be the most common reaction, if you poll, on the right anyway. It’s the left that likes to hate the other side and wish them ill. It’s a virtue over there.
I wish her a speedy recovery from degenerating into a obnoxious liar.
She coulda had class. She coulda been somebody. But no. She’s just a bum, let’s face it.
I know that she isn’t like to expire, but am hoping for a miracle.
Oh noes! Tested positive! And has minor flu-like symptoms!
Of course, you all know that per CDC, the PCR test can’t even differentiate between the “Covid” and the influenza… right?
I still remember before Jan. 2020 when people use to say, “I have the flu.” No one says that anymore. But then, what does one expect from Boobus AmeriKanus when their brain bucket has been saturated with 2 years of incessant 24/7 “Covid”.
Goebbels was right: “All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked by Covid, and denounce the science deniers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Well, we have no more flu. Thank god for that 🙂
There are two FDA-approved treatments for COVID-19. One includes Ivermectin and the other is Hydroxychloroquine. Both should be used in combination with zinc.

Merck has come up with a patentable drug that works about two-thirds as well as Ivermectin.

Works great for the influenza too!
Merck has come up with a patentable drug that works about two-thirds as well as Ivermectin.
Works about two-thirds as well at about 100X the cost. So there’s no real downside for Merck to market this antiviral medicine as a
curetreatment for The Covid®.Plus there are significant questions about molnupiravir’s safety, but like the covid vaccines themselves, that is no bar to administering the drug to millions of people and only doing real safety testing afterwards.
Psaki tests postive!
I would like to say “I wish you the best,” but I would be lying.
Bet its not the first virus or disease she has tested positive for
I thought COVID 19 attacks the soul. Shouldn’t she be immune?
+10
We conservatives are not like the rabid leftists who hope that their political opponents get sick and die.
I hope that Ms. Psaki has a mild case and recovers quickly and soon returns to the stage to do her job.
Unfortunately, her job is spreading Mr. Biden’s lies, but we know that is what is expected of her and the Democrats’ media cheerleaders.
So, masks don’t really stop transmission. Nor does the “vaccine.” But, the Progressives will continue to push both in their effort to control the populace.
Well, Bless Ginger Goebbles heart
Is this the part where we can I hope she dies?
After all, isn’t that what liberals say when a conservative is diagnosed with the Wuhan Flu?
