The danger there is zero, because the vaccines\u00a0<em>work<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>By pandering to baseless fears of those who\u2019ve already done the right and smart thing, he gave the reluctant one more reason to doubt the jabs truly work.<\/p>\n<p>He simply hectored the unvaxxed,\u00a0and\u00a0we seriously doubt he persuaded any of\u00a0them. He overtly painted vaccine hesitancy as\u00a0purely\u00a0partisan, and his castigating of \u201cpandemic politics\u201d reeked of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>These people aren\u2019t risking death to prove some political point; they have real reasons for doubt, which make sense to them. But none of his much-vaunted empathy went\u00a0into understanding and\u00a0then\u00a0overcoming their objections.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t the speech of a unifying president and neither was it a speech to the American people. Instead it was the speech from the leader of a political party, a party still to prove it can govern and not simply campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>And the \u201csix-prong\u201d strategy he advanced? It <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears\u00a0toothless on\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0fronts. His mandate for federal and federally funded workers to get jabbed comes with a 75-day grace period, which means 2 \u00bd months before it has much effect \u2014 and even then, the cumbersome federal discipline process will take more weeks to make resisters feel any pain.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, his order for employers to require jabs can\u2019t take effect until endless federal rule-making procedures work out. And that\u2019s\u00a0<em>at best:<\/em>\u00a0the courts might well strike the whole order down.<\/p>\n<p>Other \u201cprongs\u201d were even more pathetic: His bid to make tests more available, for example, doesn\u2019t even address the fact that the major bottleneck now is simply\u00a0<em>producing<\/em>\u00a0them, not having more places where you could get them . . . if they were in stock. His \u201cprong\u201d about boosters didn\u2019t even involve any\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And Biden\u2019s timing is damning: The vaccine effort slowed months ago; why didn\u2019t he give some speech like this after he failed to meet his July 4 goals? Meanwhile, the dangers of Delta are already fading; what, exactly, makes action urgent right now?<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the policies and the speech are plainly a bid to\u00a0<em>seem<\/em>\u00a0like he\u2019s leading at a time of crisis because much of the nation is furious at how he bungled the Afghan exit and worried about the hostages he left behind.<\/p>\n<p>But his speech won\u2019t make those Americans\u00a0forget, any more than it\u00a0will\u00a0coax\u00a0the unvaxxed. This arrogant, clumsy effort to score political points did nothing to help the nation or him.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
