Biden Urges People to Get the COVID-19 Vaccine as Soon as Possible
President Biden on Monday urged Americans who have not yet gotten vaccinated against the coronavirus to do so as soon as possible, pointing to the nearly 600,000 lives lost domestically from the virus.
“We’ve made enormous progress in the United States. Much of the country is returning to normal and our economic recovery is leading the world and the number of cases and deaths are dropping dramatically but there are still too many lives being lost,” Biden said, noting that the U.S. is still averaging about 370 daily deaths from the virus.
“My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one,” Biden continued. “I know that black hole that seems to consume you, that fills up your chest when you lose someone close to you that you adored.”
Biden then appealed to Americans who have not gotten a dose to do so “as soon as possible.”
