I think it\u2019s a mistake,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThey should listen to Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, the scientists, and the experts. But I think it\u2019s not responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden was asked about what advice he would give to players who are unsure about getting vaccinated for COVID-19. Biden answered, \u201cI would say I\u2019m President of the United States and I got vaccinated. I don\u2019t have an unimportant job. Would I take the vaccine if I thought it was going to hurt me? We have done incredible research on the vaccines and they have shown that they work. We have to get to the point where enough people have taken the vaccine so we diminish the possibility for it to spread.\u201d<\/p>\n<div readability=\"28.665292662819\">\n<p>According to ESPN, Biden added that more than 600 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines \u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Pfizer, Johnson &amp; Johnson, and Moderna \u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>have been bought by the government and 75% of people who are at least 65 years of age have gotten at least one of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are moving across the board that way,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to diminish the prospects of its spread. In terms of it being responsible [for stadiums to open at full capacity] \u2014 you see what\u2019s happening in Europe now when they lifted the mandates. I don\u2019t know why we don\u2019t just follow the science and beat this \u2014 just flat out beat it. We are going to have enough vaccinations, vaccinators. We\u2019ve opened places. We\u2019re doing everything we can to make it clear to people, \u2018Get the vaccine as quickly as you can get it.\u2019 By the end of [April], we\u2019re going to be in a position where everyone can get the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden also used the interview to discuss his support for the MLB changing the location of the All-Star Game in July from Atlanta, Georgia, because of the Republican-backed voting legislation that was recently passed in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-endorses-moving-mlb-all-star-game-out-of-georgia-lauds-athletes-using-sports-to-push-politics\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported on Biden\u2019s discussion of the Georgia debate on Thursday:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"29.38370565046\">\n<blockquote readability=\"26\">\n<p><em>President Joe Biden endorsed moving Major League Baseball\u2019s July All-Star game out of Georgia in retaliation for Georgia\u2019s new election laws.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Endorsing moving the all-star game in an interview with ESPN on Wednesday, the president lauded players for \u201cacting incredibly responsibly\u201d in using their influence to push political agendas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think today\u2019s professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly.
