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.
The flood of patients is so severe that an Alabama man died this month of a heart attack after being turned away from 43 hospitals because they were packed with COVID-19 cases.
Anti-vaxxing televangelists are dying of the pandemic, and stories about the sick regretting their obstinacy to shots are legion.
Meanwhile, pediatric cases are soaring – in California, an unvaccinated teacher showing symptoms read to her elementary class and 12 students tested positive.
