Biden: ‘This Is an American Tragedy’ that 99% of Covid Deaths Have Been Among Unvaccinated

TRANSCRIPT:

BIDEN: "Folks, the truth is, as more people get vaccinated, we are better protected as a nation to continue reopening safely and responsibly. We are not fully out of the woods yet because what is happening in America right now is a pandemic, a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Let me say that again, it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. There are about 90 million Americans who are eligible to get the shot but haven't gotten it yet. As I just mentioned, nearly all of the cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to Covid-19 today are from unvaccinated people. Last months, a study showed that over 99 percent of Covid-19 deaths have been among the unvaccinated, 99 percent. This is an American tragedy. People are dying and will die who don't have to die. If you're out there unvaccinated, you don't have to die. Read the news. You'll see stories about unvaccinated patients at hospitals."
