Less than a month remains until the Fourth of July, which was President Biden's goal for 70% of American adults to have gotten at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
It looks like it's going to be a stretch to get there.
As of Tuesday, nearly 64% of U.S. adults have had at least one shot, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The key issue is that demand has dropped off. After an initial crush, the number of doses being administered daily is on a steep decline from the early April peak.
So what's going on?

I know a number of people who have had COVID and experienced zero complications as such I feel that in sharing their experience with others that has dulled the urgency for many to get vaccinated. As well I know some that are as well anti-vaxxers; some that have even been infected yet again with zero complications.
And then there is the distrust created in part by Fauci and and others within the CDC - especially on the masks and the origins. The man who never met a mic he didn't like is now all of a sudden dodging reporters on the leaky lab possibility as the lab points back to Fauci and lack of oversight in the funding of the lab.
If this ends up being the case, Fauci's credibility will take a hit - possibly a senate hearing with his job on the line.
