President Biden hosted hundreds of guests on the White House lawn Friday to celebrate Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court — despite a spate of COVID-19 infections among his inner circle.
The event, described as “huge” in size by White House press secretary Jen Psaki, went ahead despite the fact that Biden bashed his predecessor, President Donald Trump, for hosting “super-spreaders” after a much smaller 2020 Rose Garden event for then-Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
Members of Congress, Jackson’s family and an array of influential Democrats sat shoulder-to-shoulder in lawn chairs without social distancing despite the respiratory virus’ surge among DC’s elite.
Psaki told reporters afterward that “we did the historic event today outside. That was in part to ensure that we could have a huge number of people on the South Lawn celebrating.”
The press secretary acknowledged that it was possible that Biden, who turns 80 this year, could test positive for the virus in the coming days.
“The president may at some point test positive for COVID,” Psaki said, adding that “even with the president being double boosted, he could still test positive for COVID — just as many people in the White House have, just as many people in the press corps have.” --->READ MORE HERE

A 9-year-old boy is being denied a life-saving kidney transplant because his father is not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Dane Donaldson was found to be a perfect match for his son Tanner back in early 2018 by the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital before the outbreak of the pandemic.
The family decided to wait a little longer before having Tanner undergo the transplant since transplanted kidneys from a live donor only lasted about 20 years.
Then COVID-19 hit and put a freeze on the procedure.
Now the hospital is refusing to perform the life-saving father-to-son kidney transplant it agreed to do nearly four years ago over the senior Donaldson’s unvaccinated status. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
