What happen to the the 99% unvaccinated pandemic? A complete f*cking lie. Leaked documents from CDC indicate 15% of the May deaths were from the vaccinated. Before Delta and more widespread vaccine adoption.

Well you have to be pretty stupid if potential of dying from not getting a vaccine isn't enough to scare you into getting that vaccine.

The Republicans constant need to make everything political is killing their constituents

Fear is the only thing they respond to. They believe the fear MONGERING of the GOP!

There’s absolutely no need for that. Just close your doors once hospitals are full and let the people fend for themselves.

Florida's unexpected COVID-19 Delta surge could be prolonged: Infection expertFlorida health officials said that while they expected an uptick in coronavirus metrics over the summer, none predicted the Delta surge to be as significant as it has been across the state. Changes in the death rate is all that matters. All else is political propaganda. Delta was significant in india and uk and now in decline. Read article in ny times about it today. Cases arent deaths. Why get vaccine if you can still catch/spread it and have to follow same vaccine mandates as un vaccinated? Im never getting it.

He also announced new Covid-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers and contractors and urged other workplaces to follow suit. Baby steps. There's so much more you could do POTUS. Ask major corporations to require vaccinations for their employees and customers. Make it mandatory for the military. Ask governors to do their part. Good deal means if you are family of 3 kids will get $500 not bad At least he is trying to get through to the dumb people
