Its Time For President Biden To Stop Playing Doctor

Both the American public and health officials are frustrated with President Joe Biden’s arbitrary recommendations about booster shots.

Biden announced that the booster shot would be available to the general public by September 20 even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told the White House that regulators needed more time to review necessary data before setting a date. The FDA is set to approve boosters for those who got the Pfizer vaccine, but the wait is going to be longer for those who got the J&J and Moderna shots.

The disagreement led to the resignation of two senior officials at the agency. Dr Marc Siegel described it as “a mess for the administration.”

“The delay may be minimal, but it is raising some concerns about the White House influence over scientific decisions,” according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Sunday’s “Inside Politics.”

“There is no question people feel jerked around,” is how TIME’s national political correspondent Molly Ball described it.

“But at the same time, there has been a clear inability to communicate clearly and consistently with the American people and particularly when so many people…were so excited to come out of this and that sort of jerked away,” she said. “And again, not the administration’s fault. Were people prepared and did people know what they were supposed to do next? Was there a clear national standard set?”

“The administration had been scrambling to deal with all these unexpected situations in a way that did not inspire confidence,” Ball said.

An increasing number of people are growing dissatisfied with Biden’s handling of the pandemic, according to new poll numbers. The president’s numbers have also taken a hit following the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan which led to the deaths of 13 of our military servicemen and women and left hundreds of Americans and Afghan SIV holders stranded there.

Biden is also under scrutiny over his behavior during the dignified transfer ceremony for our 13 fallen service members and for his conversations with gold star families.

The president has been photographed checking his watch during the ceremony and talking at length about his own son instead of the sons and daughters that were coming home in such a somber way.
