Bayden was infected with coronavirus

US President Joe Biden became infected with coronavirus. This is stated in the message on the White House website.

“This morning President Biden had a positive Covid-19 test. It is completely vaccinated, twice revaccinated and experiences very weak symptoms. ”

The statement notes that Biden is already taking medication and will remotely perform the duties of the head of state in full. The White House promised to inform the state of the president daily.

Earlier, the molecular biologist and scientific journalist Irina Yakutenko told The Insider that the reason for the growth of incidence in many countries and the new wave of pandemia was a new variety of Omicron - even more contagious than the previous one. According to her, the old vaccines are still saving from the severe course of the disease.

“The vaccines existing today, especially from the MRNK-preparation group, extremely effectively prevented infection with the early versions of coronavirus and the severe course of the disease. However, Omicron has changed very much in comparison with its predecessors, and antibodies developed after vaccination are no longer able to prevent its penetration into the cell. In other words, vaccinated (and ill) can become infected again. ”
