President Biden failed to meet his (ambitious) goal of getting 70% of the American people vaccinated against covid-19 by July 4, but a surge of interest in the vaccine this week is bringing his country closer to that 70%.
"On a single day this past week, more than half a million people across the United States trickled into high school gymnasiums, pharmacies and buses converted into mobile clinics. Then they pushed up their sleeves and got their coronavirus vaccines. These are the Americans who are being vaccinated at this moment in the pandemic: the reluctant, the anxious, the procrastinating."
They Waited, They Worried, They Stalled. This Week, They Got the Shot.

I'm sorry that so many people in America have such high distrust of their government thanks to right-wing propaganda and Trump mouthpieces who do not seem to understand basic science, the purpose of mass vaccination, or the duties of citizenship, and need their mothers, friends, employers, and public schools to cajole and force them to get their shots.
Better late than never, but honestly, pathetic. What a spoiled lot people have become. People in many countries are begging for these vaccines and lining up for hours in the hot sun. I guess we can keep cutting off our noses and complaining we can't breathe, but how about some common sense instead of wilful stupidity for a change?
People are being bombarded with so much information and misinformation by a multitude of different sources and have been fed so many lies by conservative pundits, it's no wonder that these poor folks in the US South and Midwest are now realising they've been duped. I pray for my fellow human beings in America to just PLEASE GET VACCINATED, for you, your family, your friends, and your country.
