White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients announced his departure Thursday after more than a year with the Biden administration.
“I called on Jeff Zients to lead my Administration’s COVID-19 response because there is no one better at delivering results than Jeff,” President Joe Biden said in a statement .
After touting the increase in COVID vaccination rates under Zients, Biden added, “Jeff spent the last 14 months working tirelessly to help combat COVID. He is a man of service and an expert manager. I will miss his counsel and I’m grateful for his service.”
The U.S. struggled to respond to the Delta and Omicron variants over the past year as some hospitals reached capacity and COVID tests were in short supply over the holiday season.
“Thanks to all the progress we’ve made, Americans are safely moving back to more normal routines, using the effective new tools we have to enable us to reduce severe COVID cases and make workplaces and schools safer,” Biden’s statement continued.
“But our work in combatting COVID is far from done,” he added, asserting the need to administer more vaccines and boosters; to provide tests, treatments, and masks; and to secure approval for a vaccine “for the youngest children.”
“We must fight the virus overseas, prepare for new waves, and new variants – all of which can be coming,” Biden said. “And we must work with Congress to fund these vital steps, as time is running out to stay ahead of the virus.”
Biden also announced that Dr. Ashish Jha would succeed Zients.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
