The U.S. is set to reach a critical milestone in its COVID-19 vaccination efforts on Tuesday.
A White House official stated on background that 50 percent of American adults will be fully vaccinated on Tuesday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 61.5 percent of American adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and that nearly 40 percent of the total population is fully vaccinated.
On May 4, President Joe Biden set a new goal for 70 percent of the adult population to receive at least one shot by July 4 and to have 160 million adults vaccinated by then.
Thank god Biden was elected instead of the former guy. We’re well on our way.
And half the country will not be. By choice. Deplorable.
Got an email from Uber Eats this morning-- touting free fares (up to $25 each ride) to and from two vaccine appointments-- from today until late July.
Yes, and no. It’s not like people have stopped getting vaccinated. Also those who got their first shots last week have to wait 3-4 weeks for their second.
The true anti-vaxers are deplorable,but the country is still moving in the right direction. Let’s celebrate the good, for once.
So far, the variants of the virus are blocked by the vaccines, so I’m content to let the virus continue to rage among the morons.
Thin the herd of the maladapted.
