Speaking to USA Today, one health official noted that with \u201ca plentiful supply of vaccines, there will be more urgency to convince the reluctant to accept it\u2026Otherwise, the abundance of vaccines will become a stagnating surplus that threatens to undermine the nation\u2019s ability to move beyond the pandemic. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Biden, seeking a way to motivate Americans to get the jab, warned that families may have to cancel their July 4th plans if a large percentage of individuals continue to refuse the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 51 percent\u00a0of American adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to CDC data, indicating that herd immunity and the pandemic\u2019s end are near,\u201d the New York Post reported. \u201cBut Biden said at the White House that he\u2019s not yet comfortable saying people can hold small outdoor gatherings on Independence Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack on March 11, I outlined a vision of what America could look like by the Fourth of July \u2014 an America that was much closer to normal life that we left behind more than a year ago,\u201d Biden said. \u00a0\u201cTo celebrate our independence from this virus on July 4th with family and friends in small groups, we still have more to do in the months of May and June. We all need to mask up until the number of cases goes down, until everyone has a chance to get their shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s statement drew widespread criticism on social media, with many users pointing out that threatening to cancel \u201cIndependence Day\u201d over a voluntary vaccine was unlikely to motivate Americans \u2014 and that canceling America\u2019s July 4th has not, historically, gone well for heads of state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c*stares in 1776*,\u201d wrote one Twitter commentator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is exactly why we will celebrate July 4,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
