About <u data-rte2-sanitize=\"underline\">one-third<\/u>\u00a0of Americans have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus so far.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, President Biden\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/biden-announces-new-goal-70-percent-of-us-adults-vaccinated-by-july-4-210740148.html\">announced<\/a>\u00a0a goal of having 70% of Americans vaccinated by July 4. The pace of daily vaccinations has dropped since last month. In April, about\u00a03.3 million Americans were receiving daily vaccinations. This month, only 2.29 million Americans are receiving shots per day.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
