WASHINGTON - President Biden acknowledged on Thursday evening that he and many other vaccinated Americans were “frustrated” with the 80 million Americans who have declined immunization against the coronavirus. The needless ravages caused by the Delta variant, he said, were “frustrating” to watch, repeating a word that seemed to signal the evening’s theme.
And he blamed governors playing “pandemic politics” by resisting mask mandates and downplaying the power of vaccines for prolonging the pandemic.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” Biden said in a speech from the White House, making clear that he blamed the unvaccinated for the current surge in the U.S. “And your refusal has cost all of us.”
The spring was marked by vaccine incentives, including guns and beer. The summer saw the rise of mandates, including from the president and some governors. Now it is fall, and a level of exasperation has set in. Only 53.4 percent of Americans are vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, giving the coronavirus plenty of opportunities to spread.
The president did virtually nothing to disguise his dismay on Thursday, his own mood mirroring that of many Americans. Schools are closed once again, and the economic recovery is faltering, too. At one point during his remarks, Biden leaned against his podium in the State Dining Room of the White House and, in his trademark stage whisper, addressed the unvaccinated directly: “What more do you need to see?” he asked, apparently referencing the rampant misinformation about the safety and efficacy of vaccines that has potentially led millions to refuse inoculations.
**SNIP**
He returned time and again to blame the unvaccinated for the nation’s current predicament, arguing that the holdouts “can cause a lot of damage - and they are.”

Frustrated?
Frustrated?
You folks don't know what "frustrated" is.
“ We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” Biden said”
So is mine, you child molesting senile fraud.

By forcing the least effective jab for delta
All organized labor in negotiations. Nothing is finalized for them. If you don’t want the vax just wait. Would equal protection apply here? Exemptions for thee. not for me. ??
It strikes me that biden is trying to incite violence. But he even fails at that. How can anyone take the demented old fool seriously, I certainly don’t. So I am not as worked up about this as others. Not vaxed, not getting vaxed. Put that in his pipe and smoke it.
Go piss up a rope, Joe.
How long until the scapegoat becomes the selfish unboostereded
A feeble old man is what he is and it’s a bloody disgrace that they let him flit around like he’s somebody. He’s done, he needs to go home a retired citizen. I’m losing respect for my country.
Why doesn’t he try to convince instead of command, coerce and condemn?
Do you work?
There is no need to “beat” the China Virus (as if such a thing were even possible)
Per the CDC: only .6% of the infected die, and only 5% require hospitalization.
We have become China… the destroyer of worlds…
What are the concerns of the vaccinated?
Independent thinkers in their midst?
You know it. The renegades might go around spreading... ideas.
Makes simple sense.
Me neither. Ignore crazy uncle joe. When the threats turn into action then I'll get worked up.
Not my America.
Did you mean to say, oh ignorant one, that you want to protect the unvaccinated from each other? Who wrote that garbage?
Hospitals have had a year and a half to prepare for any surge.
This shouldn’t even be an issue.
Glad we could help. 🐴💩💉
This is like getting lectured to by a nursing home resident waving their cane at you—irritating at first, then mostly hilarious.
