Coronavirus vaccines in the United States are becoming more readily available and the nation keeps setting records for vaccines administered per day. On Saturday, there were a record 4.5 million immunizations and the average per day now is up to 2.4 million. President Biden made an announcement at the end of last week, saying that every American adult will be eligible for a vaccine starting May 1st. The promise still stands to get every American adult who wants one their first vaccine dose by the end of May. This timeline has been moved up dramatically and it suggests life could get back to pretty much normal by around the Fourth of July holiday. Biden said as much during his address to the nation, saying this year’s Independence Day can include unmasked small social gatherings among vaccinated people.
Right-wing media doesn’t know how to report on Biden’s successes regarding vaccine distribution. Radio host Mark Levin went on Fox recently and said “this speech that Joe Biden gave is the most disgusting, propagandistic speech, that a demagogue, even a politician, has given.” Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham chatted about the speech during the hand-off between their programs and Ingraham said, “it seemed a tad like a funeral for America,” prompting Hannity to laugh. Later during Ingraham’s show, a guest said it was “unamerican” for Biden to pick Independence Day as the day life can go back to normal but she failed to make the case as to why. If this is going to be right-wing media’s strategy for covering the Biden administration, then they’re going to be in for a long four years.
