Biden receives second Covid booster as he pleads with Congress for funding

Source: The Guardian

Joe Biden received a second booster vaccination against Covid on Wednesday and pleaded with Congress to approve more funding to fight any new wave of the virus, while asserting that although the pandemic is not over: “Covid-19 no longer controls our lives.”

Speaking at the White House, the US president launched a new government website that he called a “one-stop shop” for accurate coronavirus information, covid.gov.

And he told the public: “We’re now at a new moment in this pandemic. It does not mean that Covid-19 is over. It means that Covid-19 no longer controls our lives.”

“The bottom line, no longer will Americans have to scour the internet to find vaccines, treatments, tests or masks,” he added.

It's not like Democratic representatives are blocking the funding.
