BRAZEN BARACK BRANDED COVID SUPERSPREADER!
Infections spiked after maskless birthday bash
BRAZEN Barack Obama’s scandalous 60th birthday bash is threatening to be a COVID superspreader event after 74 people tested positive following the Martha’s Vineyard gala.
After hundreds of maskless A-list guests flocked to the expresident’s $12 million estate, there was an immediate increase in cases on the Massachusetts island — the highest number since April.
The shameless event, which GLOBE reported was publicly snubbed by an outraged President Joe Biden, has been slammed a “superspreader” by critics, who note the epicenter of the new outbreaks was Edgartown, where many of Obama’s guests stayed.
Local health spokesperson Maura Valley says “it’s impossible for us to know at this point” how many infections are linked to the event without “comprehensive contact tracing.”
After being publicly shamed by Biden for violating his COVID containment policies, Obama had promised to scale back the party, which had an original guest list of almost 500 people and 200 workers. In the end, about 400 people attended the bash — and flouted federal advice to wear masks, according to eyewitness accounts.
“Everybody knows you lead by example, and this didn’t set a very good one,” notes a source.
“People across the country have put off weddings, graduations, celebrations and all manner of life-changing events because of the pandemic.
“But if you’re Obama, then that just doesn’t seem to apply.”
After the event, sources told GLOBE the White House declared Obama Public Enemy No. 1 for his shocking behavior — and the feud between the former political allies picked up steam.
But Curb Your Enthusiasm comedian Larry David was happy to be uninvited.
When Obama’s assistant “told me I was eighty-sixed from the party, I was so relieved, I screamed, ‘Thank you! Thank you!’” says David.
“He must have thought I was insane.”
