IS JOE A VAX DOUBTER?

Exactly how much confidence does the Biden White House have in the COVID vaccinations?

The plan to recommend masks for some who got the jab in certain situations risks bolstering the resisters. After all, if the vaccinations work, why go back to the protections in place before vaccines were released?

It’s a good question, doubly so after Biden extended a ban on foreign visitors.

Both actions follow sharp rises in positive tests for the Delta strain. But with much lower increases in hospitalizations and deaths, the moves smack of a knee-jerk panic and a prelude to another round of economic shutdowns that put some 22 million Americans out of work in the early days of the pandemic.

Instead of stepping up his lagging vaccination efforts, Biden seems to be distracted and looking in his rearview mirror. As any driver knows, that’s a sure way to crash.
