Joe Biden Threatens to ‘Cancel’ July 4th if Americans Choose to Not Get Vaccinated
American Greatness ^ | 04/22/2021 | Eric Lendrum

On Wednesday, Joe Biden warned that Americans may be forced to cancel their plans for celebrating the 4th of July this year if too many Americans choose to not get a coronavirus vaccine, as reported by the New York Post.

Although over 51 percent of Americans have already received some form of the vaccine, Biden was still hesitant to declare that the country was free to celebrate its Independence Day. He referred back to a speech he gave in March, which was widely criticized, in which he outlined “conditions” that had to be met in order to allow for “small” 4th of July gatherings.

“To 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,” Biden said at the White House. “We all need to mask up until the number of cases goes down, until everyone has a chance to get their shot.”

Biden’s comments were criticized for putting too much reliance on the strength of the vaccine itself, instead of the easier and more natural development of herd immunity being much more likely to end the pandemic than everyone simply getting vaccinated. Brett Giroir, a retired admiral and former assistant secretary of health, said that “I don’t know what reality he’s talking about. It seemed very disconnected from the reality and where we are and what the science says. Science says small outdoor gatherings are fine.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) pointed out that the overwhelming majority of Americans are already hosting gatherings of their own, often outside and small, but sometimes larger, and are going to continue doing so regardless of Biden’s arbitrary orders.

to declare whether or not Americans are free to celebrate Independence Day.

Clearly, we are slaves. I wish it were otherwise, but our birthright has been stolen and we have nothing to show for it except cheap products from China, endless entertainment, and drugs.

Since the Xiden Administration is doing everything it can do to curtail Individual Freedom, what is this “Independence Day” thing he is referring to?

Well Mr. Giroir, the reality he's speaking of is power and control. Like sharks to a bloody carcass, the Democrats have tasted oligarchy and they've developed a ravenous appetite for it.

No American president would dare to cancel Independence Day.

“Think about the level of arrogance required to declare whether or not Americans are free to celebrate Independence Day.”

This. Worth repeating.

Pretty much, in the flesh. My real birthright is as a son of God.

biden opens the border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a so called “global pandemic” and now wants to punish the citizens he intentionally failed to protect...

Haha.

I am not getting injected with the notavaccine until I have a chance to see the long term effects.

If Biden personally comes over to my house on the 4th to enforce his order, I would ask that he start by seizing my aunt’s carrot cake. I never did like that cake.

Then he could move on and TRY to seize the beer my country cousins brought. Much hilarity would ensue.

“They may not cancel it in California. Mostly because we have plentiful supplies of vaccine and now the issue is the clinics dispensing the vaccine can’t keep up.”

Line up and take your experimental drug so that the government will allow you permission to celebrate Independence Day.

That is not how this works.

of course the commies/nazis want to cancel the Fourth of July.
It celebrates America.

Prepare thyself for these new holidays, soon:

30 January ... holiday of the Nazis, commemorating the day they seized power in Germany
07 October....Soviet Revolution Day


and SorozNazi will have his puppet in our White House replace “President’s Day” soon, too, by
20 April (Hitler’s birthday).

The America-hating left (democrat party) wants to cancel it anyway. Remember last year? The year without an Easter, Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas?

The left wants those symbols of our former greatness GONE.

Joe isn’t really an American president.
