News 12 spoke with Mount Sinai South Nassau vice president Joe Calderone
who says it's the unvaccinated who are suffering the most as cases continue to
go up.
“What we're seeing in the hospital more and more
are unvaccinated people, including young people, who are not
vaccinated and are now suffering the very debilitating effects of the virus,” says Calderone.
The poll also stated 23 percent of those who were unvaccinated have
changed their mind on the shot, stating the FDA approval as their reason for
the change of heart.
The White House has stated that President Joe Biden plans to release a six-pronged attack Thursday aimed at conquering the delta variant and increasing COVID-19 vaccinations across the nation.
The president has already released a plan to make booster shots more available pending regulatory approval.
