President Joe Biden strongly urged Americans to get vaccinated on the National Day holiday to achieve “independence” from the coronavirus together. Getting vaccinated is the “most patriotic” thing citizens can do now, Biden said Sunday night (4/7). “So please: If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, do it. Do it now – for yourself, for your loved ones, for your community, for your country.” Independence Day also had special significance this year because Biden wanted a new vaccination goal achieved by then. But the goal was missed despite numerous vaccination incentives and a large stockpile of vaccines. By Sunday, 70 percent of all adults were expected to have received at least one dose of vaccine. So far, however, only 67 percent, or 173 million people, got at least the first vaccination, data from the CDC health agency showed.
