A crutch retort from the unvaccinated crazies got snatched away this Monday morning: ‘The Food and Drug Administration has formally approved Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. The widely anticipated decision replaces the emergency use authorization granted by the agency last December.‘

No excuses now says Joe Biden:

In the stream of events, this supposedly is a major wham-story — right?
Via the LA Times just a while ago:

Calling the FDA’s announcement “an important moment in our fight against the pandemic,” Biden directed his message from the White House to the vaccine-hesitant.
“The moment you’ve been waiting for is here,” Biden said.
“It’s time for you to go and get your vaccination and get it today,” adding, “there is no time to waste.”

“As I’ve said before, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Biden continued.
“It’s a tragedy that’s preventable. People are dying and will die that don’t have to. So please, please, if you haven’t gotten your vaccination, do it now.”
…
Despite the spiraling controversy over the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Americans still view the coronavirus as the most important issue facing the country.
They’re also more pessimistic — 42-percent said the worst is yet to come, up from 19-percent in April.

Biden’s political challenge is not limited to Republican-run areas with lower vaccination rates and higher caseloads.
There’s also frustration as vaccinated people are being required to wear masks again in some indoor situations, a return to pandemic fears and restrictions that many hoped they had put behind them after doing their part by getting inoculated.

“The COVID surge is like a big wet blanket being thrown over the country when people were ready to break out,” said Cornell Belcher, a Democratic pollster.

A way-nasty wet blanket on top of that.
