In other news, Biden also drank some water, and didn’t do meth.
I only respect politicians that do meth, sadly :/
Ya I am getting mine next week. Why is this news? lol
Because the last guy spent so much time and effort pandering to the antivaxxer crowd and it resulted in the deaths of millions.
Reason the president does stuff like this is to a) remind people that the vaccines are now available and b) they’re safe enough for the most important person in the country.
Exactly. This is what you're supposed to do.
It's like covering your mouth when you cough or shitting in the toilet rather than the living room floor.
You mean, not be a Republican? Got it.
It pisses off the conservatives.
Hey me too, got both today. I'm doing what uncle sam asks of me.
Real patriots threaten their countrymen and don’t get vaccines! Didn’t you know this!?
I'm just not trying to get myself or others sick. Fuckin' wild, right?
Okay
I just flew in from getting my COVID and flu shots, and dang, are my arms sore.
What strain is targeted by this updated vaccine?
XBB.1.5
The White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said in a memo that Biden received both shots on Friday.
Cool, I got this year’s COVID shot before the president.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine and annual flu shot, the White House said Saturday.
The White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said in a memo that Biden received both shots on Friday.
“As we enter the cold and flu season, the President encourages all Americans to follow his example and to check with their healthcare provider or pharmacist to assure that they are fully vaccinated,” O’Connor wrote.
Experts worry that immunity from previous vaccinations and infections is fading in many people, and a new shot would save many lives.
Children and adults who have multisystem inflammatory syndrome should wait to get vaccinated until recovering from being sick and 90 days have passed since the diagnosis, according to the CDC.
Biden tested positive for COVID-19 in July 2022 and a second time slightly more than three days after he was cleared to exit coronavirus isolation.
The original article contains 274 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 45%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
