White House Says U.S. Vulnerable Without More Vaccines

“White House Covid-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha issued a dire warning Thursday that the U.S. will be increasingly vulnerable to the coronavirus this fall and winter if Congress doesn’t swiftly approve new funding for more vaccines and treatments,” the AP reports.

Said Jha: “As we get to the fall, we are all going to have a lot more vulnerability to a virus that has a lot more immune escape than even it does today and certainly than it did six months ago. That leaves a lot of us vulnerable.”
