Maybe he was referring to the physician, but officials including the press secretary have been publicly saying that Biden will wear a mask as per CDC guidelines, so at least someone over there is treating this as bigger than just a patient and his doctor.
I'm willing to bet that he has advisors telling him it looks bad for him not to wear a mask after they announced publicly that he would and should.
