Biden warns of 'potentially deadlier' Delta variant, urges public to get vaccine

President Biden on Friday pleaded with Americans who have not yet gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so as soon as possible, citing the danger posed by the new Delta variant. “Even while we're making incredible progress it remains a serious and deadly threat,” Biden said in remarks from the White House, saying that the new variant leaves unvaccinated people “even more vulnerable than they were a month ago.”
