Biden directs states to make all adults eligible for Covid-19 vaccines by May 1

One year after the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic, Pres. Joe Biden remembered the lives lost and honored the frontline heroes during his first prime-time address to the nation. He also announced he wants states to open vaccine eligibility to all adults by May 1 and that enjoying Independence Day with your family “is the goal.” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky joins Anderson Cooper to react to Biden’s speech and says we are still in a “race against the variants” despite the downward trends in daily cases and deaths.
