President Biden Tuesday unveiled a new plan to boost COVID vaccination rates on Tuesday after the self-imposed goal he had set for July Fourth — 70% of the adult population vaccinated — fell short by 3%, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
With the virulent Delta variant driving a modest increase in cases, Biden unveiled a plan to get more vaccines in the arms of Americans who may still have doubts about the lifesaving shots.
“The bottom line is the virus is on the run … and you the American people made it happen,” Biden said.
Biden said the spread of the Delta variant should be a wake-up call, especially as the country narrowly missed hitting his July 4 goal.
“Seems to me, this should cause everyone to think twice,” Biden said. “Fully vaccinated people have a high degree of protection, even against this Delta variant.”
“If you’re not (vaccinated), you’re putting yourselves and your family and friends at risk.”
More than 200 Americans still die each day from COVID-19, and tens of millions have chosen not to get the life-saving vaccines.
The president said the summer could offer a key turning point as health care workers push to get over the hump ahead of the arrival of cool weather in the fall that could give the virus a renewed foothold in the U.S.
The five-point plan includes door-to-door canvassing in communities with low vaccination rates getting vaccines into primary care physicians’ offices and pushing adolescents to get vaccinated as part of their back-to-school health checkups.
Health officials also plan to step up efforts to bring vaccine clinics to workplaces and to expand mobile clinics.
Biden also vowed to create a rapid response team to tamp down COVID-19 outbreaks that are expected to spring up in areas with low vaccination rates, including extensive testing and medical resources.
The plan notably does not rely heavily on any new measures to help identify people who refuse to get vaccinated or to limit their access to public events where they could spread the deadly virus.
.“Let’s finish the job — finish it together,” said Biden.

Of all the problems that we have as a Nation which you choose to either ignore or make worse—and you beat this vaccination campaign to death. You’re a one-man three-ring circus, Joe.
And exactly HOW WILL they know which households HAVE unvaccinated people in them???
“door-to-door canvassing”. I will not open my door.
If Joe shows up at your door, it will be to give you the needle like what dogs get when it’s time to go. Just call the police and tell them a lost confused elderly Alzheimer’s victim appeared at your door who thinks he is actually the real President of the United States. Direct him to the basement where he will feel the safest until the cops and the guys in white jackets arrive.
Part of me fears they may not give us a choice in that matter. JUST LIKE the unconstitutional GUN GRABS they did through out Louisanna after Katrina.
The good thing is they’re unlikely to make it to my neighborhood. But, if they do I can send them on their way as easily as I did the last nuisance.
There is no need to open the door.
IF you open the door, there is no need to be the slightest bit polite. “Get off my property before I shoot you for trespassing.”
IF its trespassing for WE the people to be in OUR HOUSE (The congressional building), it DAMN WELL SHOULD BE trespassing for them to be ON YOUR PROPERTY uninvited!
I will offer a bowl containing 100 chocolate kisses, explain that only one of them is laced with cyanide, and agree to take the “vaccine” after they select and eat just one of the chocolate kisses.
More like 3 chocolates and two of them are laced with cyanide and the other is laced with arsenic.
Biden’s Brownshirts coming soon to a town near you.
“Those aren’t HIS blackshirts. Someone else organized them for him…..You’re welcome!” – A best selling novelist, and one heck of a community organizer. Clean and articulate.
Now say your ten hail bidens, and goose step away!
What will happen if citizens will not open their doors to armed troops, or will not discuss their personal health history with strangers or decline the recommendation to be injected? For that matter how will our newly-politicized army know where to to and whom to seek out? Dollars to doughnuts, there is already an illegal registry of vaccine resisters and skeptics and it will be used to populate a registry of regime opponents and Trump supporters who will be picked up later for “domestic terrorism”. It is reported that the military will focus on Trump-supporting areas; can this be preparation for the armed occupation and repression of areas and states hostile to the illegitimate regime? Any attempt to interview or interrogate citizens, inspect or search homes, detain people or forcibly vaccinate them must be met by an uprising against the regime. Down with the dictatorship! Biden and house-to-house searches for Trump supporters delenda est!
If they show up at my door, they’re not gonna like the reception they get.
They won’t get a chance to say anything because they’ll be too bust prying my dogs off their arms and legs.
I hope they send that idiot Beat-o.
f anything, they’ll likely send ARMED SWAT members, to accompany the doctors..
can vee seez your vaccine paperzs pleasze seig heil seig heil.
fubar in america.
My answer to the (stupid) question “have you had your covid shot?” is ” have you taken all of your HIV medicine?”
Both imply a desire for a treatment with zero evidence of actual need.
The risk of an allergic reaction to the shot is far greater than the tiny risk from the virus. It is like burning down your house to kill the cockroaches you MIGHT have.
“Fully vaccinated people have a high degree of protection, even against this Delta variant.” Biden says, contrary to data.
“An ounce of preven…Look, you have all of these…Come on man…We have got to…You know the, the, the thing, and I don’t have to tell ya’. Where am I?..I think you know what I mean….it could kill you but your neighbors won’t take it if you don’t….”
There is no way 67% of the adult US population got this vaccine.
We all know waaaaaay too many people that passed on this **** for that figure to be true.
They are lying again. Engsoc at work.
Hell, i doubt the # is even close to 40%…
I’d like to believe that if they show up at your door and you say no they will leave you alone. However, I’m not stupid and I’m pretty sure when you say you don’t want it that your name and address will go into a databank of people who are defying government ‘orders’ and it will only be a matter of time before they use more strong arm tactics to get the vaccine.
I’m feeling like I’m living in a novel and I’m hoping the hero steps in to save the day. I think perhaps that the novel is ‘1984’ and there is no hero and we’ll all be programmed, indoctrinated, and fed lies to keep Big Brother in charge. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale not a how-to manual. We’ve got neighbors turning each other in, Big Brother watching us (and we are paying for it…think Alexa or Siri and smart TVs), a ministry of truth rewriting history, and our daily 5 minute hate.
I Fear that too.. Hell i am shocked they’ve not gotten to the point, they DRAG EVERYONE out of their homes TO A vaccine center, and under armed gaurd, FORCE you to get the shot..
Or worse, stick the shot in tranq darts, and SHOOT Everyone with the dart.
Or like someone suggested in the film Contagon (with Laurence fishburn), STICKING IT in the water supply so everyone gets it, whether they want it or not..
To FAKE president biden: If and when your army of bureaucrats knock on my door I’ll refuse to answer any questions. I’ll only tell them that they are harassing me and to immediately get the HELL off my property, then I’ll slam the door shut!!
I Wouldn’t even OPEN THE DOOR. Id shout “GO THE HELL AWAY” from inside, and they DAMN WELL CAN HEAR IT OUTSIDE.
