Former presidents Barack Obama, George W.. cespuglio and Bill Clinton have all publicly announced that they are willing to get a coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available to ensure its safety to the public.
Some politicians have expressed skepticism over a vaccine developed and distributed by the Trump administration, Compreso Presidente eletto Joe Biden e Vice Presidente eletto Kamala Harris, among other Democratic leaders.
“A few weeks ago President Bush asked me to let Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx know that, when the time is right, he wants to do what he can to help encourage his fellow citizens to get vaccinated,” Bush Chief of Staff Freddy Ford told Fox News.

“People like Anthony Fauci, who I know, and I’ve worked with, I trust completely,” Obama said during the interview when asked about African Americans potentially being skeptical about taking a COVID-19 vaccine given past medical experiments on the community. “So if Anthony Fauci tells me this vaccine is safe, and can vaccinate, sai, immunize you from getting COVID, assolutamente, I’m going to take it.”
Obama added that he “may end up taking it on TV or having it filmed” so Americans know he trusts the science that went into developing the vaccine.
“What I don’t trust is getting COVID,” Egli ha detto. “I think at this point, particularly in the African American community, we are — African Americans, ispanici, Native Americans — we have the highest death rates from this thing, and are most exposed and most vulnerable, in part because we have a lot of preexisting conditions.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on Nero, Hispanic and Native American communities — specifically in regard to hospitalizations and deaths, secondo il Centri per il controllo e la prevenzione delle malattie.
Reasons behind the disparities differ, but the CDC attributes some differences to “persons from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups” being “more likely to live in multigenerational and multifamily households, reside in congregate living environments, hold jobs requiring in-person work.”
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIH) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci has repeatedly defended the vaccine and its development process amid politicization. The Trump administration put $ 10 billion toward an initiative to develop a vaccine in May called “Operazione Warp Speed.”
