Because he’s vaccinated and willing to do the right thing for his own and our health

Get well soon, Mr President

No love lost for that orange creep, but he did get the vaccine after it was available.

costing his employers a chunk of change. And no telling how many people he infected with his "hoax". And the hypocrisy of getting a vaccine for the hoax, but telling everyone to use bleach and light bulbs and horse paste.

He killed a lot of people.

The latest variant dodges immunity a bit, but one is FAR better off vaccinated and boosted

We got Covid in May, and we were under the weather a bit for three days. Kind of like having a mild case of the flu.
"It's just like the flu" applies to those who are vaccinated.

Long story short, Biden should be fine.

3 years into this thing and I’m still surprised people feel the need to start threads to announce their personal Covid status at this stage of the game. It’s not exactly a unique experience now. 🙄

other serious health complications. I live in New York State and I know a lot of people who had Covid. Many of them developed new health conditions and still feel bad. One friend told me that a year after she had Covid, she still can't smell or taste and her life is so unsatisfactory. My husband had Covid in January and still has bad fatigue and brain fog. It's really sad.
