BIDEN: U.S. MAY CELEBRATE COVID 'INDEPENDENCE' BY JULY 4
Written by Lindsay Kalter
From the WebMD Archives
March 11, 2021 -- President Joe Biden on Thursday lamented the loss the country
has faced over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic, but vowed that with
the help of all Americans, normality may return this summer.
Biden, in his first primetime address as president, said every U.S. adult should
be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine beginning May 1 and that it's possible family
and friends may be able to safely gather together in small groups by July 4.
“A year ago we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread
unchecked,” Biden said on the day he signed into law a $1.9 trillion coronavirus
relief bill. “While it was different for everyone, we all lost something. A
collective something, a collective sacrifice.”
The toll has been terrible, he said.
> The tangible calls to action are important. Do this, don't do this phrases are
> critically important, particularly to public health communication. Assists
> with compliance gaining. https://t.co/ZtkjKn8pRL

“Frontline and essential workers risking their lives and sometimes losing them
to rescue others,” Biden said. “Researchers and scientists racing to find a
vaccine. And so many of you, as [Ernest] Hemingway wrote, 'being strong in all
the broken places.'”
And it isn't just the deaths people mourn, he said -- we have also lost physical
connection.
“We are fundamentally a people who want to be with others -- to talk, to laugh,
to hug, to hold one another, but this virus has kept us apart,” he said.
“Grandparents haven't seen their children or grandchildren, parents haven't seen
their kids, kids haven't seen their friends. The things we used to do that
always filled us with joy have become things we couldn't do, and it broke our
hearts.”
That should soon change, he said.
“We know what we need to do to beat this virus. Tell the truth, follow the
science, work together,” he said.
To that end, Biden reiterated his earlier pledge that the country will have
enough vaccine doses “for all adults in America by the end of May. That's months
ahead of schedule.”
He said he will use active duty military, FEMA, retired doctors, nurses, and
administrators and a host of other health care professionals, including
dentists, to administer vaccines. In addition, the government will create more
places to get the shots, including 10,000 drugstores, 600 federal vaccine
centers, as well as mobile clinics and pop-up clinics and promised to get
vaccines to “underserved” communities.
Over the next few months, the administration will continue to send vaccine doses
to community health centers, vaccination sites, and pharmacies, with a focus on
the most vulnerable Americans.
But the president also said he will “direct” states, tribes, and U.S.
territories to make all adults eligible to be vaccinated no later than May 1.
“That doesn't mean everyone is going to have that shot immediately,” he said,
without mentioning that states themselves set priorities for who can get
vaccinated and when.
“And to do this, were going to go from a million shots a day ... to maintaining
our current pace of 2 million shots a day, outpacing the rest of the world,” he
said.
He also promised a federal website to help people find vaccines and make
appointments. “No more searching day or night,” he said.
The big goal, he said, is to have some level of normalcy by July 4.
“I promise I will do everything in my power -- I will not relent until we beat
this virus, but I need you, the American people. I need you,” he said. “I need
every American to do their part. I need you to get vaccinated when it's your
turn and you can find an opportunity. I need you to help your family and
neighbors.
“If we do this together, by July the 4th, there's a good chance you, your
family, and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or park and
celebrate Independence Day.”
He was careful to mention that he's not promising large group gatherings, but
small groups.
“That will make this Independence Day truly something special,” he said.
