President Joe Biden set the 70 percent goal in early May, declaring at the time that if the nation succeeded, “then Americans will have taken a serious step towards a return to normal.” | Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesThe Biden administration is likely to miss its goal of providing at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose to 70 percent of adults by July Fourth, a White House official confirmed on Tuesday.
The Biden administration now estimates that it will hit the 70 percent threshold only for those aged 27 and up by July 4, a milestone that White House officials are expected to tout as a dramatic turnaround from the pace under the Trump administration. The vaccination rate also exceeds 70 percent for those age 30 and up.
White House officials in the coming days are also likely to highlight the sharp drop in Covid-19 cases and deaths across the nation, in a bid to shift focus from President Joe Biden’s initial U.S. vaccination goal to the reality in most places vaccination rates are high enough that people can resume large gatherings.
Big whoop
Not his fault! A lot foolish people.
Headline should read,”Every intelligent person in the country is now vaccinated, only the dumb fucks are left. How can the Biden Administration bring them back to reality”?
Just sad that Americans just don't give a shit
Oh gee, what a surprise when you have one of two major parties promoting conspiracy theories that don't gel with science.
Not because this administration didn’t care.
The Big Guys failures are adding up exponentially!

Kinda hard to hit the goal when meaningful swaths of the public are refusing to be vaccinated. It’s no longer as much an issue of access or opportunity as it is one of anti-vax hysteria.
Right. It's the GOP version of success.
Hahaha. As usual Politico fake news. Look at Ron Klein’s tweet. We made it before July 4!!!!!
It is probably 90%+ of people who want to get vaccinated. But the hacks at Politico just wants to score points pissing on Biden.
The United States has 62% with 10 days left. The Biden Administration will not its goal, the American people will miss the goal because of various reasons.
That's what happens when you sabotaged by corrupt and unethical republicans.
Better than trumps 0% vaccination rate
Thanks to FoxNews.
You’ll be fine. You have 150 million fully vaccinated people so far. You can’t jail people like Duterte, or can you? Hmmm?
I beg to differ. He got 70% of PATRIOTS partially vaccinated. The rest are jackasses that need to have their patriotism questioned. Some people love labeling other groups as 2nd class citizens, I say we label the anti-vaxxers as 2nd class citizens, or 'illegals'.
Gues that mean no free water I mean free beer from budweiserusa
thx red states. also have fun with the delta variant I guess.
I’ll pay the bill’s of the first 6 people to dm me 👍🏾❤️
Looking at this as a glass half full, what's the percentage of partially vaccinated adults so far? How about teens? Can they be added to the count? After all, they sadly also count as spreaders and in body bags.
Trump and Republicans are sabotaging this goal.
It’s not for lack of trying. People want to have freedom and personal responsibility? Darwin will take care of them.
