WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden says it is “vital” that Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19 as the nation heads into the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Biden attended a White House briefing of emergency management and scientific advisers. He said getting vaccinated is part of preparing for the possibility of damaging storms this year, in addition to taking other preparedness measures.

He says: “A vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.”

Biden encouraged Americans living in vulnerable areas to remind themselves of their evacuation zones and to visit Ready.gov for additional information on how to be ready in case a storm hits.

Getting vaccinated would guard against the chances of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 should someone need to evacuate to a shelter during a storm.

He added: “Get vaccinated. Make a plan.”

It is hard to see the downside of getting vaccinated.

At this point, it sounds like Biden is making cholent. All issues get mixed together into one. Maybe, he forgot the reason for his remarks.

I support vaccine choice for those who are concerned that their weak livers can’t handle the toxins.
