Despite progress against combating a resurgence of COVID-19, President Joe Biden warned in a visit to the Chicago area Thursday that the nation still has a “long way to go” to defeat the pandemic as he touted a White House mandate that large employers require workers to get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.

During his visit to a manufacturing site in Elk Grove Village, Biden restated his belief that “this has been a pandemic of the unvaccinated” that has overtaxed the country’s health care system and its personnel who are “getting the living hell kicked out of them.”

“The unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals, overriding emergency rooms and intensive care units,” Biden said. “The unvaccinated patients are leaving no room for someone with a heart attack or a need of a cancer operation and so much more because they can’t get in the ICU, they can’t get into the operating room.”
