A Fox News reporter thought she had exposed a “inconsistency” in the administration’s handling of President Joe Biden’s care following his COVID diagnosis.
When asked why the president was given Tylenol at a news briefing on Friday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acted inconsistently, according to Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.
The White House has come under pressure from the correspondent and other journalists to make Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s doctor, available to take questions.
“But when we have concerns about, say, the progression of his symptoms. Last night, he had a temperature. Now that his cough used to be dry, it’s loose,” Heinrich said.
So he didn’t have a fever last night, I take it. Just to be clear, I believe Dr. Jha made that point crystal clear last night. 99.4 is not a fever. Not even a mild fever will do. So, last night, he didn’t have a temperature. He handled it. Tylenol was given. And I really should let Dr.
Jha can speak more about this because he is a doctor and is accompanying me in the briefing room today. Although many of you have had COVID, he offered the Tylenol for discomfort, which is typical when you have a cold. We contend that if we took the temperature of some people present, they might have a reading of 99.
temperature of four degrees Fahrenheit. The White House Covid coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha responded after the press secretary said, “That is not unusual, but I would let Dr. Jha talk about that more.
Dr. O’Connor, let me just talk about the. As Karine mentioned, you have thus heard directly from him regarding the morning messages he writes. We all have numerous conversations during the day, including him and Dr. Fauci. As the chief medical advisor to the president, Dr. Fauci is undoubtedly among the foremost authorities on infectious illnesses. We communicate frequently. I’ve been using face time to interact and communicate with the president every day. And you receive updates roughly twice every day, correct? At this time yesterday, you received one. You received an update regarding how he was doing last night early this morning.
At 6:40 in the morning, I appeared on TV. I didn’t believe it was right for me to wake up the president at 6:20 and ask him how he was feeling. He would probably say that he would feel better if I hadn’t called in to have someone walk him, in my opinion. But certainly, he was seen this morning early, you know. He was checked out. Then we promptly released information about the president’s overnight status. I’m not here to enlighten you further on that. The key is that we’re all working together as a team to provide you with information on a regular basis, he said.
Heinrich then pointed out the contradiction to them.
When his letter stated that he was being treated with Tylenol for a 99.4-degree non-fever, he wrote, “So you’ve described. And now you’re telling us that he received treatment for discomfort. That’s a contradiction, she declared.
I must thus retrieve that letter. However, from what I understand and have discussed with Dr. O’Connor, the president, and those of you who are familiar with, 100.4, as I have been seeing patients for around 20 years. We define a low-grade fever to be 100.4. What we consider a typical fever is 101.5. 99.4 falls well within the acceptable range.
Most persons range in age from 97 to 99. Later in the day and into the evening, people frequently have a little bit higher temperatures. This explains why fevers frequently appear in persons who truly have them in the evening. I already informed you that the patient was patient. The president, the patient, wasn’t feeling as good yesterday and was feeling fatigued. By the way, it feels a lot better today. I also suppose that many of you had a cold at some point in your lives if you’ve ever experienced a viral condition. Many of you may have had the flu or COVID. Have you ever taken Tylenol when you weren’t feeling well at all? That improves your mood.
So, early in the evening, Dr. O’Connor gave him some Tylenol, although he just noticed that his temperature was 99.4 at the time. The president had not reached that temperature in the previous 24 hours or since it was discovered that he was afflicted. He made note of that as part of his therapy as a result. The president, though, has not been sick. The president has had a temperature as high as 99.4 thus far. The doctor reported that the president is still doing well and feeling better today.

Dr. O’Connor wrote the letter, which stated, “His symptoms have improved. He did increase his temperature yesterday evening to 99.4°F, which acetaminophen helped to reduce (TYLENOL). Since then, his temperature has been normal.
The White House could easily respond to these inquiries by making Dr. O’Connor available to the media if the letter provided an explanation for why the president was given the Tylenol or what discomfort existed.
