On Monday, President Joe Biden warned that Americans who decided not to receive a COVID-19 vaccine will “end up paying the price.”

Biden welcomed the fact that that coronavirus deaths are at the lowest level since April 2020, down 81%. Cases are also reportedly down in all 50 states.

Biden Warns Unvaccinated

But Fox News reported that Biden worried this progress could be thwarted if many refuse to get vaccinated.

“I can’t promise that it will continue this way,” Biden said. “We know there will be advances and setbacks and we know that many flareups could occur.”

“But if the unvaccinated get vaccinated, they’ll protect themselves and other unvaccinated people around them,” the president said.

Biden added that “states with low vaccination rates may see those rates go up, may see this progress, reversed,” if people refuse a vaccine.

The president continued, “Ultimately, those who are not vaccinated will end up paying the price.”

“The vaccinated will continue to be protected against serve illnesses, but others may not be if you’re not vaccinated,” Biden warned.
