“Demand for vaccines has dropped off markedly nationwide, with some states leaving more than half their available doses unordered. Aiming to make it easier to get shots, Biden called for states to make vaccines available on a walk-in basis and he will direct many pharmacies to do likewise.
His administration for the first time also is moving to shift doses from states with weaker demand to areas with stronger interest in the shots.
“You do need to get vaccinated,” Biden said from the White House. “Even if your chance of getting seriously ill is low, why take the risk? It could save your life or the lives of somebody you love.””
Science is important and the Biden Administration believes in the value of putting science first. In marked contrast to the previous Administration that placed greater value in the words of Evangelical prayers than science, the Biden Administration is proving that facts matter. The only way to navigate our way to normalcy is ensuring as many people get vaccinated as possible as soon as possible.
