America president Joe Biden Expressed a strong sense of frustration about the economic slowdown on Wednesday Coronavirus disease Vaccination rates in the United States have fallen, and argued that as the virus surges again, it is “very important” for Americans to step up and vaccinate.
Biden spoke at a televised city hall in Cincinnati that the public health crisis has largely turned into an unvaccinated dilemma, because the spread of delta mutations has caused a surge in the number of people infected across the country.
He said at the CNN City Hall: “For those who have not been vaccinated, we have a pandemic-it’s that basic, it’s that simple.”
Due to declining vaccination rates, COVID-19 cases in the United States tripled in two weeks
The President also expressed optimism that children under 12 years of age will be approved for vaccination in the coming months. But he expressed anger that so many eligible Americans are still unwilling to get a shot.
Biden said in a forum at Mount Saint Joseph: “If you get the vaccine, you will not be hospitalized, you will not be in the IC ward, and you will not die.” “So it is very important that…we are all Acting like Americans who care about our fellow Americans.”
In more than 80 minutes, Biden asked questions on many pressing issues of the day, including his infrastructure package, voting rights, and the composition of the congressional committee that will investigate the congressional riots on January 6. He also reflected on what it was like to be president, saying that he was sometimes frightened by the grandeur of work and the pressure of being the “last person in the room” to make daunting decisions.
After six months of his presidency, taming the coronavirus remains his most pressing issue.
Almost all hospitalizations and deaths in the United States are among the unvaccinated people. However, due to the violent impact of vaccine misinformation, which overwhelmed hospitals, exhausted doctors, and put clergy in trouble, the number of COVID-19 cases in the United States nearly tripled in two weeks.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, in the United States, the 7-day rolling average of daily new cases in the past two weeks has risen from less than 13,700 on July 6 to over 37,000 on Tuesday. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 56.2% of Americans have at least one dose of the vaccine.
The President pointed out that this rise has become so worrying that even his critics are opposing false information about vaccines.
Biden alluded to well-known Fox News conservatives who “had an altar call” and now talk more openly to skeptical guests about the benefits of vaccination. Sean Hannity recently told the audience, “I believe in the science of vaccination” and urged them to take this disease seriously. Steve Dussie, who co-hosted “Fox and Friends” this week, told the audience that vaccination “will save your life.”
Before boarding Air Force One and returning to Washington, Biden told reporters that he was “happy that they had the courage to say what they said.”
When asked about rising prices, Biden admitted that as the economy rebounded from the pandemic, “there will be near-term inflation,” but said that “the possibility of long-term inflation getting out of control is extremely low.”
Experts warn that the growing vaccine hostility in the United States will be extremely difficult to resolve
Biden went to Ohio to try to increase support for his economic agenda. He visited the trade union training center in front of the city hall.
After the Senate Republican rejected the $1 trillion blueprint in a critical test vote on Wednesday, the fate of his infrastructure proposal remains unclear. A bipartisan group of 22 senators said in a joint statement after the vote that they were about to reach an agreement and demanded that it be postponed to Monday.
Biden expressed confidence in the results, he said: “This is a good thing, I think we will complete it.”
Although lawmakers debated the details of the proposal on Capitol Hill, Biden stated that his nearly $4 trillion package was needed to rebuild the middle class and maintain the country’s sights during the first six months of his presidency. Economic growth.
The president’s visit brought him close to the dangerously outdated Brent Spencer Bridge, a choke point for trucks and emergency vehicles between Ohio and Kentucky. The first two presidents promised to replace it but failed.
Biden mentioned the building by the way, telling the attendees at the city hall that it was time to “fix your damn bridge.”
When he faced the problem of the scourge of drug addiction, he delved into personal issues and pointed out that he was “very proud” of his son Hunter Biden, who published a memoir about his struggle with drug abuse. The president also pointed out that he felt a little uncomfortable with some of the fringe benefits attached to the office. When he said that he told some White House staff not to come in and serve breakfast, he aroused laughter. The real reason: The president likes to eat breakfast in a robe.
Biden defended the obstruction of the Speaker and opposed the question repeatedly raised by CNN host Don Lemon about why he felt it necessary to protect the legislative tactics that some critics believed had been used to protect racist policies.
He said that he is trying to unite the nation to protect the right to vote. He does not want “the debate is just about whether we have obstruction bills.” Biden said that if the Democratic Party cancels the obstruction bill, “you will throw the entire Congress into chaos and do everything.” No more.”
After Pelosi bans Trump allies, Republicans vowed to boycott the Capitol riot investigation
Back in Washington, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected two Republicans elected by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to participate in the committee investigating the January 6 congressional riots. McCarthy said that if the Democratic Party does not accept his appointed members, the Republican Party will not participate in the investigation.
Lemmon asked Biden how can they believe that Republicans and Democrats can unite on anything when Republicans and Democrats cannot even agree on investigating the most shameless attack on the U.S. Capitol in 200 years stand up.
Biden simply replied: “These people”, this is a nod to the forum audience and his confidence in Americans. But Biden also seems to admit that Washington’s partisanship has become maddening.
“I don’t care if you think I am the reincarnation of Satan,” Biden said. “The truth is, you can’t watch that TV and say that nothing happened on the 6th, and you can’t hear people say this is a peaceful march.”
