(Reuters) - One out of two Americans were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Friday, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The milestone comes roughly eight months after the United States launched its mass vaccination drive.

The agency said 165,918,256 people, or 50% of the total U.S. population was fully vaccinated, while 182,368,493 people, or 70.6% of the adult population, in the country had received at least one dose.

The United States had administered 349,787,479 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Friday morning and distributed 405,102,715 doses.

The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) and Pfizer/BioNTech, as well as Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)'s one-shot vaccine as of 6:00 a.m. ET on Friday.

Good job Sheep.
Administering experimental gene therapy is a crime against humanity according to the The Nuremberg Code of 1947. It is being forced upon humanity by coercion, fraud, deceit, and overreaching of Globalist Totalitarian regimes, i.e. Biden. the UK, the EU, Australia, etc.The experiment does not avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury. There has been an estimated 45-55 thousand deaths directly related to the vaccines in the US alone according to whistle-blowers inside the CDC.The degree of risk to be taken exceeds the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. The survival rate of COVID is 99.97. The survival rate of the vaccine is virtually the same thus far; only 99.969% survive the shot. But there are also long lasting injuries from the vaccine like micro blood clotting in the capillaries of the lungs, myocarditis and pericarditis which are being under reported by the CDC.
Pray for the vaccinated daily.
