Top Biden Health Official: We're 'Failing' on COVID

With the United States recording its highest daily Covid case load in six months, a top public health official warned Sunday that the country is "failing."

"We should not really have ever got to the place we are," Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, said on ABC's "This Week."

"In that regard, yes, we are failing."

A surge in the highly transmissible Delta variant has brought a slew of bad news: total daily new cases have surged to 118,000, their highest since February; deaths are up 89 percent over the past two weeks, even while slightly declining around the world; and children's hospitals in US states like Florida are being "overwhelmed" as young people are increasingly affected.

Fears about the Delta variant have sparked a surge in vaccination rates. Yet millions, especially in conservative areas, remain skeptical despite ample scientific data confirming the vaccines' safety.

"We would not be in the place we are right now with this Delta surge if we had been more effective in getting everybody" vaccinated, Collins said.

"Now we're paying a terrible price."

What a coincidence, whether they have all the power or not its always the rats' political opponents who are at fault.

Not so.  They're failing, perhaps, at their attempt to make political hay out of continuing to terrorize people into submission with an over-hyped version of the flu.  Otherwise, deaths/serious illnesses are down, so the real side of things is a success.

But, of course, admitting that would require them to admit that President Trump was correct about a lot of things, and that they simply cannot do.

How could they possibly failing, they're doing everything they possibly can to allow as many infected illegals to cross the border and then transporting them all across America primarily to red states.

Biden is a traitor, and deserves to be recognized as such.

People in the USA are dying because this fool is totally incompetent.

And I trust Collins as much as I trust Fauci, both are genocidal maniacs.  With thousands dead from the vaccine, the lying to the American people is endless.  These so called scientists have zero credibility.  All this chaos over a virus slightly worse than the common flu.  Makes no sense to me.

These bums have lied since day one, and I think the time has come for criminal prosecution of these sadists.

And their REFUSAL to recognize the immunity for those that had the virus further reduces their credibility, which is higher than any vaccine can provide!!!
