US Donald Trump, booed for receiving the booster dose against the coronavirus
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has announced that he will send a
thousand doctors and nurses from the Armed Forces
to hospitals that are overwhelmed by patients with Covid-19 in the next two months. Biden announced this measure during a television appearance on Tuesday in which he also explained that the State will send 500 million kits by mail next month to test Covid to US citizens, and that it has already ordered the deployment of emergency medical teams to hospitals in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Arizona, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Other emergency measures, which will be coordinated by FEMA - the equivalent of Civil Protection in the US - include the putting on
alert
of hundreds of ambulances and emergency teams that are being distributed throughout the country in the event that they are needed to as the omicron variant of Covid-19 continues to hit the United States. Five days ago, only 3% of the positives were for that mutation; now it is 73%.
With the announcement, Biden plays the card of responsibility in the fight against Covid-19, which gave him very good results in his first months of presidency and, also, in the victorious election campaign of 2020. But in the message the president He also made a
dramatic call for Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19
. "You have an obligation to you, your families and, frankly, your country," said Biden, who stressed that, to be safe before the omicron, it is enough to "receive the booster dose and put on a mask."
This is not how many of the president's compatriots see him. Only
61.5% of the US population is vaccinated
, according to data from the Bloomberg news agency, which is almost twenty points less than in Spain. And the figures reveal that it is, to a large extent, something linked to ideology. While 91% of citizens who define themselves as Democratic Party voters are vaccinated, only 59% of Republicans are. In fact, Donald Trump has been booed twice by his supporters for defending vaccines. The first time was on August 22. The second, on Monday. In his message on television, Biden recalled that his predecessor had received the third dose of the vaccine. "It may be one of the few things we agree on," the current president stressed.
But opposition to vaccines and conspiracy theories are in extraordinary health. Yesterday, it was made public that the commentator Jesse Watters, from the television network Fox News, who stands out for his support of Donald Trump, had hinted at a public event with the possibility that someone murders or, at least, harasses, to the maximum Biden's advisor in the fight against the pandemic, Anthony Fauci. It was Monday, at the 'American Festival' (AmericanFest).
Watters addressed the audience, made up of young conservatives, with a message in which he proposed to
lay "an ambush"
that would be "deadly" to the 81-year-old doctor. The "ambush" simply consisted of repeating to Fauci one of the craziest conspiracy theories, which he says he was the one who financed the construction of the Wuhan biological research center from which the coronavirus (how China lets an American that he has been advising all the presidents of his country since Ronald Reagan to finance a study center for him is something that the conspirators have not yet explained). But Watters played with the ambiguity by saying that after making that accusation "Boom! Fauci is dead, he's dead. It's over." The ambush, like this,It is mortal.
