Will he dare to say that?
==============
It’s ok to cheer on the latter point.
Miraculously, the science changed last week … and the CDC was able to issue new guidance that let’s most people (including school kids!) to toss their masks.
About a year late and, coincidentally, just in time for Biden’s SOTU address.
Whatever.
Let’s cheer the revised guidance!
==============
But, what about the broader claim: “I crushed the virus”?
Remember when Biden taunted that Trump was responsible for all the Covid deaths while he was president?
Soon America will have accumulated 1 million Covid-tagged deaths … currently at 973.119 and counting.
I doubt that Biden will point out that the majority of the deaths have happened under his watch … despite Trump handing him 2 approved vaccines that were in production and ready for distribution.
=============
And, I doubt that Biden will mention CNN’s headline:
Point-of-fact, almost 1,500 people are still succoring to Covid-tagged deaths each day … many because Biden had put the development and distribution of therapeutic drugs on the back-burner.
==============
And, I doubt that he’ll mention that his CDC was forced to admit that it had been hiding data on Covid hospitalizations, vaccine effectiveness and breakthrough infections … politically fearing that the information might be “misinterpreted” by non-government scientists … and the public at large.
============
Finally, I doubt that that Biden will spotlight the Johns Hopkins study that concluded:
Lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.
But, they imposed enormous economic and social costs.
==============
Bottom line: We’re finally at a good spot on Covid … but I’ll cringe if Biden claims that he “crushed the virus”.
We’ll see if “Straight- shooting” Joe shoots straight on this one.
