From the Associated Press:

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden was experiencing “mild symptoms” and has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease.

Oh please, Paxlovid rebound, do not fail us now, in this our hour of deepest need.

She said Biden “will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. …

Biden, 79, is fully vaccinated, after getting two doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine shortly before taking office, a first booster shot in September and an additional dose March 30.

Up to this point, Biden’s ability to avoid the virus seemed to defy the odds, even with the testing procedures in place for those expected to be in close contact with him.

Note how nobody even bothers to pretend any longer that masks or vaccines are supposed to do anything.

UPDATE

21 July 2021: “… You’re not gonna get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”
