On Tuesday, it was reported that the White House will reveal that the United States will not meet Joe Biden’s vaccination goal of July 4.

The Daily Wire reports:

NBC News reported that “The Biden administration planned to concede Tuesday that it will likely fall short of President Joe Biden’s goal of partially vaccinating 70 percent of American adults by Independence Day,” adding that “Jeffrey Zients, the head of the White House Covid-19 response team, was slated to announce that the administration has hit its 70 percent vaccination target among Americans ages 30 and older, and is poised to reach that threshold for those 27 and older by the Fourth of July.”

“But it will take ‘a few extra weeks’ to include all Americans 18 and older to that group, he is to acknowledge,” NBC News reported.

“The reality is, many younger Americans have felt like Covid-19 is not something that impacts them and have been less eager to get the shot,” he is expected to note, according to advance remarks obtained by the outlet. 

“We always intended July 4 as a moment to take stock and celebrate the progress we’ve made. But by no means was it an end point,” a senior administration official said, per the outlet. “What really matters is what the country feels like and what Americans are safely able to do. Restaurants and schools have been able to reopen. There will be celebrations that are very different than what we talked about even a few weeks ago.”

“I think for us, it’s less about the number and more about, does America look like America again? Have we protected some of our most vulnerable?” the administration official told NBC News. “Not only is the answer yes, but we’ve done it much faster than we anticipated.”

  1. Gee, does that mean Herr Beijing Briben won’t “allow” the peasants to have a barbecue with their family in their own back yards? Don’t know, but the free (at least for now) are going to do what they planned to do before the current occupant of the White House issued his edict, celebrate the founding of this Republic!
