Scarborough: COVID Testing Not Necessary, So Don’t Blame Biden For Botching It!

Joe Scarborough suddenly found it so easy to forgive!

Today’s Morning Joe,Joe Scarborough said last week that he believed the Biden administration was “terribly botched”.Everything “as far” [COVID] testing goes.”

However, second thoughts are. . . nope! Biden is not to be blamed for limiting the testing options. Because . . . It is not required to test! 

Scarborough is a well-known epidemiologist.

“You don’t need a test!Based on our personal experience, Covid is a common condition. They feel better after staying home three to four days and then return to work.

Scarborough said people should deal with COVID as if it’s the flu. Co-host and wife Mika Brzezinski joined the fray to downplay the graveness of this disease, exclaiming ” “It’s a cold.”

Scarborough declared that almost everything is happening. “The normalization of Covid” Nothing to see here: move along!

Readers will remember Scarborough’s mind-numbing habit of endlessly repeating then-President Trump’s overly optimistic statements about the seriousness of COVID at the beginning of the pandemic. 

Right before the election, Scarborough called Trump a mass murderer: “There has never been anyone who’s done as much to kill people. That is correct. Nobody.” Mika agreed.

But now, Scarborough is so understanding of presidential flubs when it comes to COVID and downplays its seriousness. Gee, what’s changed? In 2021, COVID was more common than it was in 2020.

And if tests are unnecessary, was Biden’s promise to provide a half-billion test kits nothing more than a frivolous stunt?How many have actually been delivered of the half-billion?

Joe Scarborough making excuses for Biden was sponsored in part by Pfizer, maker of Nexium, Sling, GlaxoSmithKline, maker of Voltaren, and Celebrity Cruises.

JOE SCARBOROUGH : It is a delicate balance act. With omicorn we are learning so many things. South Africa is a country where you can see the number of deaths. The deaths didn’t increase by much. That’s obviously a positive sign. However, if your test is taken five days after the last symptoms, it is a problem. Your viral load remains high and you still have symptom. This is really not an option.

But Elisabeth Bumiller [of the New York Times]You’re right, it is. It’s just so amazing. This weekWhile standing in line for New York City subways, then I began to hear the Biden administration discussing how. According to me, the testing was so poor. 

On Thursday I had a thought. By this morning, I am like: If you have a vaccine, you can get sick. Stay home. You don’t need a test! People get COVID, as we have seen from personal experience. They feel better after staying home three to four days and then return to work.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI Like a cold!

SCARBOROUGH – It’s almost like we have seen the whole thing over the past four to five days.Nearly normalizationFor Americans who have been vaccinated without any underlying conditions. Nearly the normalization or COVID.Take a break from work if you get sick.
