The good news is, that represents progress. The bad news is, "Biden's First Presser" did absolutely nothing to revise that evaluation.

The whole point of COVID-19 vaccinations at this point in time is to prevent deaths, not the sniffles AND to reduce the chances of mutations that would render the vaccines ineffective. Unless the US wishes to close itself off to the rest of the world, it had better smarten up and start acting like the global leader it wants to be.

To the punditocracy, this means: "getting enough members of Congress to cross the aisle and join you." To Biden, it means: "getting the support of a wide section of the American public, including people who did not vote for you." He drove that point home several times today. Here's but one example: "I've not been able to unite the Congress, but I have united the people," after which he cited polls which showed exactly that.</i> Excellent! Very happy to hear that!
