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.

I’ll celebrate it anyway the way I would any other year. I suspect here in Texas, any city or county sponsored fireworks, parades, etc. will also take place.
Biden can take a flying leap.
Hi Joey! Will be celebrating Independence Day with about a dozen friends. Looks like you will be sequestered in your basement somewhere, hiding from the virus in irrational fear and trembling.
USA! USA! USA!
What in hell makes him think he has that power?? Thin ice there China Joe. Thin ice.
I’d like to exercise what is left of my First Amendment rights and tell him something personally.
Eff you Pig Face Bidet..you worthless toad.
The Pig Face Bidet show, with his Ho.
It may be childish I know to write but I don’t really care.
I hate these cretins and wish them every ill will that can be mustered.
Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt,
And any thing that may not misbecome
The sender,
Joe and the ho can piss off. Someday the sheeple will have had enough. I may not live to see it and celebrate their defeat but it will come. All tyrants are eventually crushed.
“worth repeating”
Yaknow...
...he’s gonna have to be force-fed.
Lotsa jaw-jackin’ and plenty I agree with, but Reality intrudes.
This country can get over this whole COVID thing; I’m not so sure it can get over it’s people.
“Hey, now... Whaddya mean ‘people’?”
I mean the normal folks bowing in obeisance to a rabid, loud, triggered minority that ONLY LOOKS powerful due to amplification by leftist political hacks, and a slavish, and nearly monolithic media.
And I mean these anti-American politicians.
I mean that mob of drooling sycophants of leftism who comprise the media.
And I mean the vile and nefarious harridans and warlocks of wokedom and malcontent who run in the streets giving the news crews footage.
And I mean the .org cabal scalping cash from corporate, union, and government sources to organize the sham protesters.
THE INSTANT Mister and Misses Main Street America realize how small really is the faction they’ve been kow-towing to — granting that instant ever arrives —America will start getting healthy, again.
Until then...
Be ready for ANYTHING, ‘cuz there’s no depth to which America’s domestic enemies will not go.
All patriots should go out of their way to have the best Independence Day they have ever had, and invite all of their families, friends and neighbors.
These people hate the holiday anyway. Remember the fit they had when DJT had his very patriot celebration at Mt. Rushmore?
Lock and load! If they Feds come to stop our Independence Day celebrations here in the Deep South, we will be ready. If they mean to have a war, let it begin here.
You need to look at the asshole who could only attract 300 to his “rally” while Trump was attracting 55,000.
Unfortunately there were a lot of people who did not go to either rally but still voted for Biden. No matter how enthusiastic someone is, s/he still only gets one vote.
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.
Never thought I'd see the day when California led the nation in freedom. I don't see any pigs flying so Hell must have frozen over.
Just AD would suit me fine.
July 4, 2021, the day the Second American Revolution began ... the shots heard around the world ...
Does this mean that God Biden is going to decree that the day following July 3 will be July 5?
Don’t wear a mask.
Not getting the vaccine.
Still going to do what I want on Independence Day though it might not be celebratory since the USA died when the last person with the ability to save her, chose not to. Thanks Pence for twisting that knife in her.
Totally agree that we ALL should enjoy that day.
Might as well, the U.S. no longer really exists.
He got that 60 plus approval ya know. Everybody loves Comrade Joe.
