Alabama’s Republican Governor Kay Ivey expressed frustration with those who are eligible to get the vaccine but remain unvaccinated, saying they are “letting us down.”
On Thursday, Ivey was asked by reporters what is it going to take to get people vaccinated. The governor, seemingly flabbergasted replied, “I don’t know. You tell me. Folks are supposed to have common sense.”
Ivey then went on to blame the unvaccinated for the recent surge in covid cases, driven by the Delta variant, which currently represents more than 80 percent of the new positive cases nationwide.
