it s also worth pointing out, as you can slow down the virus through immunity, you re going to be less and less likely to actually develop mutations that are problematic, that will contrary more variants that we continuously work worry about. no matter how you cut it, whichever way, the message remains the same go get vaccinated. dr. gupta, thank you for that. president biden commemorated a milestone yesterday as the united states has now administered more than 300 million vaccine doses since he entered office, but it is unclear if the u.s. will reach his goal of having 70% of adults get at least one vaccine by july 4th. only 15 states have reached that goal. many states are lagging far behind. mississippi is the last in the nation, in heinz county, home to jackson, things are only
fraud. so sam, what is your understanding of the state of the evidence as we sit here tonight? well, we know that there are, you know, 2,000 to 3,000 votes that are cross-over votes, we feel like probably statewide. the number that they keep saying of irregular votes has risen all the way up to 5,000, and then i ve heard reports today of as high as 6,000, 7,000. the attorney, mitch tynor, could not give us an exact number during the press conference. but to put it in perspective, these are what they re calling irregular votes so it doesn t mean they can be contested or they ll be illogical votes. they say 3,000 come out of heinz county, the largest county in the state. we ve been told by mcdaniel counters themselves of those 3,000, probably less than half would represent irregular votes that could actually be contested. so of whatever the final number is, you can be sure that it s
