Biden Threatens to Cancel 4th of July Celebrations

From the New York Post:

President Biden on Wednesday warned Americans they may have to cancel “small” outdoor gatherings on the Fourth of July if there’s a slowdown of COVID-19 vaccinations.

More than 51 percent of American adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to CDC data, indicating that herd immunity and the pandemic’s end are near.

But Biden said at the White House that he’s not yet comfortable saying people can hold small outdoor gatherings on Independence Day.

“Back on March 11, I outlined a vision of what America could look like by the Fourth of July — an America that was much closer to normal life that we left behind more than a year ago,” Biden said.

He warned: “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. We all need to mask up until the number of cases goes down, until everyone has a chance to get their shot.”

...“It was advice for an alternate universe. The president and his advisers may need to get out more,” [Mitch] McConnell said. “”Americans are already getting together in small groups outdoors in blue states and red states, in small towns and big cities. The country is not locked down waiting for July 4.”

Biden is making a fool of himself. We had a relatively small outdoor gathering on the 4th of July last year. This year, with every adult vaccinated, nothing Biden says is going to change our plans. He can hide or wander around Arlington wearing a mask or two. I don't care what he does or declares.

It's quite stunning that the Biden regime thinks it can make these demands on Americans after President Trump's Operation Warp Speed has freed us from these crazy COVID restrictions.

I'm celebrating my independence. I'm not waiting for the 4th of July.
