Biden urges public to get vaccinated after acknowledging 700K COVID-19 deaths
President Biden urged the public to get vaccinated on Saturday in a statement acknowledging the United States has surpassed 700,000 deaths related to COVID-19.
"To heal we must remember, and as our nation mourns the painful milestone of 700,000 American deaths due to COVID-19, we must not become numb to the sorrow," Biden said in a statement released by the White House Saturday afternoon.
"On this day, and every day, we remember all those we have lost to this pandemic and we pray for their loved ones left behind who are missing a piece of their soul," he continued.
The U.S. marked the grim milestone on Friday as the nation grapples with a sustained wave of coronavirus infections fueled in large part by the highly infectious delta variant.
