President Joe Biden urged unvaccinated Americans to get inoculated from coronavirus, warning that a highly transmissible variant of the virus could cause more deaths.
“Even while we are making incredible progress, it remains a serious and deadly threat,” Biden said Friday during a White House event to celebrate 300 million doses of vaccine administered during the first 150 days of his administration.“The data is clear: If you are unvaccinated, you’re at risk of getting seriously ill, or dying, or spreading it.”
