Just looking at today's Covid cases on World-o-meters. Thank you, Joe Biden!

Mother's Day count so far of *** only *** 21,000. I know that is still a lot, but OMG what a difference from the day he took office.

Imagine what it could be if Republicans weren't out to kill our citizens.

She can certainly advise Joe Biden on the medical science much better than an airhead model.

Of course she is still a tad smarter than the former 1st lady.

Dr. Jill is a doctor of Education, not an MD.
So not wholly credentialed to give medical advice.

But you're correct, still lightyears more likely to give scientifically sound advice than a former "model" who promulgated the birtherism crap (likely at Tiny Hands' behest).

But my science BS with a good bit of work on genetics make me professionally more qualified to advise about viruses than she is.

But you are correct than any educated person is better suited to advise a president than a mail order bride whose only assets have been viewed by millions.

While she is entitled to the Dr. honorific, she does NOT have a PhD.
