Half of adult Americans vaccinated -WH
[NFA] Half of all American adults have been vaccinated against COVID-19, the White House said on Tuesday, roughly six weeks before U.S. President Biden's July 4 goal of a 70% inoculation rate.
"Today the U.S. will hit 50 percent of adult Americans that are fully vaccinated.
This is a major milestone in our country's vaccination efforts." White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt on Tuesday announced the good news… 131 million American adults - or about half - are fully vaccinated.
The halfway mark comes as federal, state and local leaders press ahead with delivering shots to people who have not yet received them, while also battling vaccination hesitancy, fears and misinformation.
SLAVITT: "When the virus looks for a place to spread, and it doesn't spread to a vaccinated person, it will look for you." On Tuesday, Slavitt praised the creative efforts that governors have put in place... including some states where millions of dollars are up for grabs for people who roll up their sleeves… "How about a chance to win a million dollars?" (flash) "$2 million..." (flash) "Vax and scratch, how do you like that name?" Companies are also stepping up.
On Monday, Uber and Lyft launched COVID-19 vaccine ride programs in partnership with the White House, offering Americans free rides or discounts for their trips to and from a vaccination site.
In Hollywood this past weekend, freshly-vaccinated people had the chance to win Hamilton tickets… and United Airlines is now offering some lucky winners free flights… all in the name of vaccines.
SLAVITT: "Vaccines: patriotic, free, good for your social life, and a chance to win." As more people become inoculated - new coronavirus infections nationwide are declining.
CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky: "Our seven-day average is 22,877 cases per day.
This represents yet another decrease of about 25% from the prior seven-day average.
And reflects seven consecutive days with our seven-day average below 30,000 cases per day." But there's another milestone still to be met... President Joe Biden's July 4th goal of getting at least one shot into 70 percent of American adults.
President Biden insists he has no plans to drop out of the presidential race -- but is now conceding that there is one scenario that could convince him to do so... TMZ.com

US authorities boosted Trump's security weeks ago due to an Iranian plot, unrelated to the recent Pennsylvania attack. Despite enhanced measures, questions arise about how the gunman got so close. The incident prompts a Biden-ordered review and Congressional probes into the Secret Service. Iranian threats against Trump and former officials persist since Soleimani's 2020 assassination.

US Surgeon General , Declares Gun Violence in America , a ‘Public Health Crisis’.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy
made the declaration in a new advisory released on June 25, CNN reports.
It is the first time that a surgeon general
has focused on gun violence's "profound consequences" in a national publication. .
Over the last decade or two,
this problem has been worsening and we
have now reached the point where gun violence is the leading cause of death among kids and teens – the leading cause of death. , Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
That is something that we should
never take as the new normal.
There’s nothing normal about that, Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
According to Murthy, the advisory is intended to take the polarizing issue of firearms "out of the realm of politics and put it into the realm of public health, which is where it belongs.".

Historically, we have seen how the
release of Surgeon General reports on
public health issues such as the dangers
of smoking ignited a wave of policy,
legal, and public health initiatives.., Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
... that saved countless American
lives and in this case led to
deprogramming our nation from
the tobacco industry’s lies. , Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
We hope this report will have
the same resounding impact on
the gun violence epidemic, Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
In 2022, over 48,000 people in America died from gun-related injuries, according to CDC data.
In the new advisory, Dr. Murthy said, "It is up to
us to take on this generational challenge with
the urgency and clarity the moment demands.".
The safety and well-being
of our children and future generations are at stake, Dr. Vivek Murthy, via advisory

e-cigarette products, manufactured by only three
companies, to be marketed and sold to consumers
