The US President-elect, Joe Biden, and former presidents, Barack Obama, George Bush Jr. and Bill Clinton, announced that they are ready to openly receive the Corona vaccine, in order to dispel any doubts Americans have about the safety of new vaccines.

Biden confirmed during an interview with CNN that he had asked Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Center, to continue his next administration, and revealed his desire to receive the Corona vaccine publicly when Fauchi confirmed that it was a safe vaccine.

Former Democratic President Obama - who left the White House in 2017 - said in an interview broadcast by SiriusXM Radio the day before yesterday, Wednesday, "I may end up getting the vaccine directly in front of television screens or recording it, so that he knows People that I trust this science. "

Freddie Ford, the Bush White House chief of staff, Obama's predecessor, said the former Republican president was ready to take the vaccine in front of the cameras as soon as he got emergency approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.

And Angel Orena, a Clinton spokesperson, wrote in an email that the former Democratic president "will definitely get the vaccine as soon as it becomes available, based on the priorities that public health officials have set."

"He will do it in a public place if it helps to encourage all Americans to do the same."

Biden decisions


In a related context, Biden said that "from the first day of his inauguration, Americans will be asked to wear masks for a period of 100 days to limit the spread of the Corona virus in the country."

And he added, in areas where the federal government has powers, I will issue an order requiring the wearing of masks in federal buildings, interstate transportation, airplanes, as well as buses and so on.

US President-elect Jeff Zents has also chosen a coordinator of the White House working group to combat the Coronavirus, and Vivek Murthy as head of the Public Health Authority.

Yesterday, 2,800 people died as a result of being infected with Corona in the United States, which is the largest daily death toll from infection with the virus in a single day since its spread.

CNN said that more than 100,000 people with corona are now lying on hospital beds, while the total number of cases has reached about 14 million.

The medical authorities expected the current winter to be the most difficult time in the history of American public health, and it is reported that the number of Corona deaths in the United States has reached about 274,000.

The launch date is approaching.


A committee of external advisers from the US Food and Drug Administration is scheduled to meet on December 10 to discuss whether it should recommend licensing the emergency use of the vaccine, which was developed by Pfizer with the German partner, Biontech. (BioNTech), and its effectiveness in preventing disease is 95%.

US health officials expect the first vaccinations to begin within days or weeks.

A large percentage of Americans doubt the scientific research that led to the production of vaccines, and are afraid of the record speed with which they were developed, although 58% of Americans said in the Gallup poll last month that they would get a Coronavirus vaccine after they They were 50% in September.

The current US President Donald Trump, who recovered from his infection with the Coronavirus this year, had promoted his administration's participation in financing the development of some vaccines.
