CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner stated on Wednesday that it was “surprising” to see images of President Joe Biden boarding Air Force One without wearing a mask just minutes after it was announced the 81-year-old tested positive for Covid-19.
Biden was said to have been feeling mostly fine and did not have a fever. However, he would cancel a number of campaign events and travel to Delaware to isolate from others.
On CNN’s The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer welcomed Reiner on to discuss the president’s case of the virus and to get his professional opinion as to how Covid might affect him at his advanced age.
“How does someone who’s that – age 81 years old, upper respiratory problems as described by the White House physician and other issues, a runny nose – how does that impact someone at that age?” Blitzer asked.
“I think, fortunately, Wolf, we are a different place than we were back in 2020 before we had access to vaccines,” Reiner responded. “Now, the president has received probably at least five doses of vaccine, as a lot of us have and he has also had the virus once.”
Blitzer briefly interrupted his guest to show a live video feed of Biden exiting his vehicle and boarding his plane surrounded by at least 10 other individuals. The president was not wearing a mask and was in close proximity to those around him.
