Biden to hold July 4 celebration he hoped would mark 'independence' from COVID

In addition to the party at the White House, the National Mall will also be open for the traditional holiday fireworks, giving friends and families in Washington the chance to watch the display together after public parties in the district were restricted for much of the last year.

Earlier this month, Biden announced the specific goal of getting 70% of adult Americans at least partially vaccinated by July Fourth to motivate the country to return to a sense of normalcy, pitching the deadline as a gateway to"a summer of freedom." "After this long hard year, that will make this Independence Day something truly special, where we not only mark our independence as a nation, but we begin to mark our independence from this virus," he added.The Washington Post via Getty Images, FILE

Still, the administration needs about 14 million Americans vaccinated in the next three weeks to reach its goal. With vaccinations dropping off -- from nearly 2 million per day two months ago to less than 370,000 a day now -- Biden appears on track to miss another self-imposed deadline. .

WONDERFUL!!!!

Man if this bio germ is truly air borne or contagious,hospital emergency rooms may be flooded...what's the hurry WE THE PEOPLE blunt let the good scientists&medical professionals home in before we go, or make a move that may be worst than what had happened already...

I thought he based it on 70% vaccinated ppl. Just like a typical DEM lowering the standards. Besides who thought about not having a 4th of July celebration anyway regardless if we did or did not have 70% vaccinated? Be honest now

LOL
