But let me be deadly earnest with you. We aren't at the finish line President Biden pleading with Americans to stay vigilant as coronavirus cases are ticking up. We still have a lot of work to do. We're still in a life and death race against this virus. Many states are rolling back restrictions, and some have eliminated mask mandates. Biden, who's called those moves premature, appealing directly to Americans to hold out a little longer and mask up until more people are vaccinated. As I said before, we can have a safe, happy Fourth of July. The real question is how much death, disease and misery we're gonna see between now and then, Biden announced on Tuesday. More than 150 million vaccine doses have been administered in his 1st 75 days in office, putting his administration on track to reach its increased goal of 200 million shots in arms in his 1st 100 days. Everyone is going to be able to before the month is out. Biden and Vice President Harris both visited vaccination sites on Tuesday after the administration announced all adults will be eligible to get vaccinated by April 19th. Nearly two weeks earlier than expected. No more confusing rules, no more confusing restrictions as the vaccine floodgates prepared to open Biden making a direct appeal to seniors and their families. It's simple seniors. It's time for you to get vaccinated now. I also have a message of people under 65. If you know someone over 65 has not gotten this life saving vaccine, call them now. Work with them to get their shots this week or next. More than 75% of Americans over 65 have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and officials say by this weekend half of all adults will have received at least one dose. We really got to keep pushing because we've got to get closer and closer to that point where every adult who wants one can have a shot. And we think that's going to happen as we get into May, while more and more Americans are getting vaccinated, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted the administration will not create a vaccine passport as proof of a shot. The government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential
