“We are all sick and tired of this virus,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, just minutes after the first case of the new Omicron variant was discovered in San Francisco.
Fauci made that point repeatedly at Wednesday’s briefing. “If you’re eligible for boosting, get boosted right now," he said, advising that people not wait for an Omicron-specific booster shot .to fight the Omicron variant, but he has only so much power to influence the decisions that states and municipalities make in the months ahead — even if blame for closed schools or shuttered businesses is ultimately bound to affect his own standing with the American public.
So far, the White House has tried to achieve a positive middle ground in the face of Omicron, somewhere between the doomsaying of social media and cable news on one hand, and the unrealistic optimism that marked the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus on the other.“This new variant is cause for continued vigilance, not panic,” White House pandemic response team coordinator Jeff Zients said in his own statement in response to the nation’s first Omicron case.
