President Biden said Friday that he delayed implementation of a new ban on travel from southern Africa on the advice of his medical advisers, who are led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
A reporter asked Biden why the emergency precaution will take effect Monday, rather than immediately to contain the potentially more contagious Omicron version of COVID-19.
“Why not do it now like other countries have done?” the journalist asked Biden, who is spending a long Thanksgiving weekend in Nantucket.
Biden said “because that was the recommendation coming from my medical team.” Fauci is Biden’s chief medical adviser and led a half hour briefing for Biden on Friday.

Biden South Africa travel ban announced hours after Fauci said White House didn’t know enough to implement ban
President Biden has imposed another coronavirus-related travel ban just hours after one of his top advisers cautioned that the U.S. didn’t have enough information to do so.
On Friday morning, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden’s chief medical adviser, told CNN that the new of COVID-19 spreading through Africa, now named by the World Health Organization (WHO) as Omnicron, was raising a “red flag that this might be an issue we don’t know.” He also emphasized the need to conduct testing.
When asked about a travel ban, he added: “Obviously as soon as we find out more information we’ll make a decision as quickly as we possibly can. You always put these things on the table, but you don’t want to say you’re going to do it until you have some scientific reason to do it. That’s the reason why we’re rushing now to get that scientific data to try and make an informed decision about something like that.”

Of course the “ban” is delayed. The dems have to make sure everyone who will come here to vote illegally for a democrat must be within our borders first.
And Beijing Joey said he will wait Until MONDAY November30, 2021 to put the Ban in place so that Everyone that is coming from that Country with the VIRUS so Everyone Else can Catch IT.
OF course they delayed the ban.. SO THEY CAN ENSURE the varaint comes into our nation!
Hey Joe, when Trump instituted a travel ban it was considered racist by you, the communist Democrats and the communist news media. So Joe, by your standards, you are a racist and a white supremacist.
Bought paid for and totally Chinese owned Fraud Fauci again steps in to cover the Chinese and make Americans pay the price of his personal edification and financial interests. He is the medical version of politcal Joe. No Coincidence here that in naming the new COVID mutation variation the Fauci crew jumped the letter Xi which was next in line in the Greek alphabet (pronounced [ksi] in Modern Greek) to take attention from the guy in China who originated and dispersed the COVID, in the Fauci financed Chinese lab who got American taxpayer dollars from Fauci and his crew of turncoats who all immediately jumped into the media to cover the Chinese puppet master’s sixes. This has gone way beyond obvious and Biden better act soon or he too will be found out and tied to this tragedy. “FAUCI SAID WHITE HOUSE DIDN’T KNOW ENOUGH TO IMPLEMENT BAN” because AGAIN the Biden Whitehouse has shown they do not know enough about just about everything. The most patriotic thing Joe could do is resign and name Trump his successor, or that he is firing all his advisors and consulting with Trump from now on.
Joe Biden, American Traitor,,,Traitor to his race, Traitor to his gender, traitor to his Church, traitor to his once great AMERICAN Democrat Party, traitor to American Fatherhood, and traitor to his country. Just call him Benedict Biden, whose pre-election political offered breakfast of Eggs Benedict always ends up scrambled on the floor, fit only for the dogs to digest. Can this guy do ANYTHING right? How about his own travel ban for himself to the Mexican border? How is that one working out? Just wait to see the Variant the Chinese already have cooked up for release prior to the midterm elections? Probably will be called the “Epsilon Variant”, a word that means dual numbers and the heavyside step function in mathematics,,,or in this case the heavy handed Democrat precinct inner city vote counts,,,,the stolen votes counted versus the real ones ignored. Like Stalin said, it’s not who counts that votes, but who counts the votes that counts. Joe is acting like a true disciple of Socialism these days.
Beijing Joey has always been a RACIST , WHITE SUPERMACIST and SEGREGATIONIST !
You forget. IF TRUMP did it.. It was bad/wrong/evil..
IF a leftist does EXACTLY the same, its “good/right/A-ok”
No, Joe, we don’t want to rush into things like Trump did (I’m sure you’re thinking). However, if this is more contagious than previous mutations of the virus, looks to me like you would want to minimize any possibility of it reaching the US. But if it ushers in another round of lockdowns and mandates, that’s probably more your style.
S O T , POTUS Donald J. Trump never RUSHED to anything that did not think was Important. POTUS Donald J. Trump
Always did what his Advisor s told him to do and he Always Acted upon it. Lol !
TRUMP DID NOT RUSH INTO that call.
HELL, had he rushed the travel ban, in SOONER> Maybe we wouldn’t even have GOT COVID Into our nation!
“Biden Says He Delayed Africa Travel Ban Over Omicron Variant On Advice Of Advisers Led By Fauci.”
How many times do we have to be bit by this corrupt, phony Fauci before we stop bowing down this fool??
Puppet Biden only does what he is told to do by his masters.
Fauci is to Joe what the Asp was to Cleopatra whose political carrier died not by kissing the Asp, but by the Asp kissing her. These days Joe will kiss anyone’s Asp that has the name of Socialism or “pay for play” on it.
HE has more power it seems, than the potus does.
No problem. Just fly into mexico and waltz across our southern border like all the rest of the world is doing. Travel ban, really? fauci, criminal fraud artist. biden, treason.
Which is why there shouldn’t BE AN INCOMING travel ban elsewhere.. THE PLACE that needs the travel ban, IS THE AREAS WHERE this virus already is.. BLOCKING EVERYTHING going out.. Period!
FAUCI , Is a Con , Fraud and a DWARF. The first time I seen his *utt Ugly Face I knew he was a Con and a Habitual Liar.
Omicron
Move the letters around and you get Moronic.
Who’s playing who?
WHO
Well maybe Fauci Biden and Obama will get it
One stupid idiot following another stupid idiot what a pair
How else could Dr. Fauci ensure that the new variant gets into this country so he can push more vaccines and boosters on the public? Isn’t it interesting how the major pharmacy companies are going to be able to come up with a vaccine booster for this new variant in a matter of weeks? Wonder how they knew? Oh, and who exactly is making all the money from all of this? Follow the money.
THat’s why i fear he WILLINGLY WAITED to instruct biden to shut the flights down.. SO HE COULD GUARANTEE it came in..
