When President Joe Biden tried to express the national angst over the millions of Americans who have said no to the COVID-19 vaccines, he got pretty darn close.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” Biden said in unveiling federal mandates to force 100 million Americans to get a COVID vaccination. “Your refusal has cost all of us.”
His words resonated for the majority of vaccinated Americans weary of a pandemic that should have ended already.
The latest crush of infections – fueled almost entirely by unvaccinated Americans falling ill – has disrupted the return to work, shut down a thousand schools in 35 states and filled to capacity intensive care units, particularly in the South.
