President Biden provides updates on Covid-19 response and vaccination program — 10/14/21

President Joe Biden provides an update on the COVID-19 response and the vaccination program.

More Americans are getting Covid vaccine boosters than first doses in rush for third shots

The U.S. is reporting an average of about 362,000 boosters administered per day over the past week, 57% higher than the 231,000 average daily first doses.

About 8.9 million boosters overall have been administered as of Wednesday, covering 4.7% of all fully vaccinated Americans and more than 12% of the immunized 65 and older population.

The White House also calls on pediatricians to help with rollout of kids’ Covid vaccine starting as early as next month

The White House asked governors to enroll doctors in vaccination programs so they can begin giving shots as soon as the lower-dose vaccine is authorized by regulators for use in young kids from 5 to 11.

President Biden delivers updates on Covid-19 response and vaccination program — 10/14/21

[AwkwardTruths]

I recall Biden stating he would NOT require vaccine mandates.

[tatum]

Imagine if the government cared about insulin prices or cancer treatments as much as this vaccine. Let’s go Brandon!

[Hypnoticboichico]

Why don’t you make cancer or diabetic treatments free?

[bennyjones]

I remember Democrats saying they won’t mandate. Then they saw the profit . Now it’s a mandated . 🤔

[Rell-euwv]

Why doesn’t he talk about the food shortages and supply shortages, stagflation, and fuel price increases. Brandons “Dark Winter” is on the way

[malicematt]

“Vaccination requirements should not be another issue to divide us”
OK then don’t require it

[randyokamoto]

You care about me soooo much, you’re firing me from my job. I was a essential last year, a criminal today. Why Joe???

[TheGMoney]

The day that insulin is free and cancer is cured, instead of handing out free narcan, will be the day I believe that the government truly cares about our health. Until then, Lets Go Brandon

[nickwilliamson]

He’s not wearing a mask on federal property breaking his own mandate. Let’s go Brandon.

[queazy]

If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized... If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance - you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.

[johnwalker]

Let's be clear, Joe Biden you're the last damn person on the planet to be saying that to anyone.

[pastortroy]

"We've reached full compliance by eliminating all those who wouldn't comply."
~ These people are evil

[JxBx]

2:19 the CEO of southwest airlines literally admitted that the issues they were having were because of your "mandate" and he literally blamed YOU, on record. Are you lying or has your speech writer just not read the news in the last 2 days?

[nicolemejia]

It’s not a choice Brandon if you tell someone they have to get a shot to feed their family!!

[seans]

The scariest part of all of this is there are people watching this an enjoying it, and who still think Biden is a good president.

[chrislee]

Yeah, the vaccination requirements are working great. Had to wait in the ER for five hours to be seen because half of the staff quit, in refusal to be vaccinated. The doctor who eventually saw my wife was from two states over, and was floating between three hospitals.

The food supplier for my restaurant is employed at 33% because their staff is refusing, and they’re experiencing a massive shortage in supplies because there are no employees sending them from their places of origin.

Working really well.
I’m not against vaccinations at all, being vaccinated myself. I am, however, against the requirements. I’d rather have an unvaccinated doctor than NO doctor.

[mullhollandmace]

"No I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory". Joe Biden on vaccine mandates 12-4-20

[Peter-tgzv]

He says that the Southwest Airlines flight delays being caused by walkouts is misinformation. This is pure gaslighting.

[coryszeman]

Do I trust the guy that leaves Americans in Afghanistan and drone strike non combatives? Let's go Brandon

[UmmAmilah]

“Over the past 2 weeks most of the country has improved as well” **scratches nose**

Nose Touching – Someone may touch or slightly rub their nose if they are doubtful about what is being said or if they are rejecting an idea. Rubbing the nose may also be a sign of deceit because the person is uncomfortable with what they are saying
