拜登政府推翻自己不强制接种疫苗的承诺(下)

And finally, 75 percent of the adult population has gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. Nearly 65 percent have gotten both doses.

The numbers grow every day, and they don't take into account those who have natural immunity.

So, why do we even need a vaccine mandate when this is the threshold that they told us all along was needed?

既然这就是他们一直说的所需要达到的门槛，那么为什么我们还需要疫苗强制令呢？

Well, now we know why.
