"A distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner," he said.
President Joe Biden on Thursday blamed vaccine hesitant Americans for preventing the United States from overcoming the Covid pandemic. "A distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner," he said in a televised White House address during which he announced a new vaccination plan affecting some 100 million people. "The unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals, are overrunning emergency rooms and intensive care units, leaving no room for someone with a heart attack or pancreatitis or cancer," he added, of the 80 million eligible Americans who have refused Covid shots. The biggest plank of the plan will involve requiring private companies employing more than 100 people to ensure all workers are vaccinated or tested weekly -- a measure that will impact an estimated 80 million people.More Related News
