Nearly every new Covid-19 death is now entirely preventable, CDC director says

The dangerous Delta variant poses a risk to the United States as the country works to ease out of the Covid-19 pandemic, but experts say the nation has the tools needed to overcome the threat -- if the public takes advantage of them.

"Covid-19 vaccines are available for everyone ages 12 and up," US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a White House briefing Tuesday. "They are nearly 100% effective against severe disease and death -- meaning nearly every death due to Covid-19 is particularly tragic, because nearly every death, especially among adults, due to Covid-19 is at this point entirely preventable."

Those still dying from Covid-19 in the US are "overwhelmingly" unvaccinated, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Jake Tapper.

Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease specialist, said he does not think it's a "big deal" for the nation to fall slightly short of the July 4 target.
"You set a goal. If you reach it, great. If you don't, you keep going to try and reach it and go beyond it," he said.

1. As to the goal, President Biden promised everyone who wanted a vaccination by July 4th would be...

able to get one. We were there at least a month ago.

But, the Right Wing Wurlitzer is going to play it as he said 70% of the population would be vaccinated (this is why they are so afraid of mandated vaccination, which the current Administration has scrupulously avoided), He has no control over who is voluntarily vaccinated and the covidiot GrOPpers are doing everything in their power to prevent the US from achieving any sort of what they were calling a half year ago, 'herd immunity'.

2. We have met the enemy and they is us

You know you are under someone’s thumb when they convince not to get the free thing that’s almost 100% in stopping you from dying.

3. Yep.

Sadly.

It could've been so different, but, they've chosen the hard way. Taking us along for the horror show ride. Over someone who could care less as long as he gets the best ashes and doesn't spend a night in jail.

Pathetic. I hope it's worth it to them.
