Obama, Bush, Clinton and Biden would be publicly vaccinated
According to their own statements, three former US presidents would be publicly vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as a vaccine becomes available. The former heads of state said they wanted to encourage all Americans to seek immunization against the disease that has killed more than 275,000 people across the country. Barack Obama said on SiriusXM radio station in a program broadcast on Thursday (local time) that as soon as the vaccine was available to less threatened groups, he would be vaccinated, you could well imagine it on television or in front of cameras.
It is similar with Bill Clinton. The former head of state will be “definitively” vaccinated as soon as possible in accordance with the priorities established by health authorities, Clinton’s spokesman Ángel Ureña said.
George W. Bush Chief of Staff Freddy Ford told CNN that Bush recently campaigned to meet with top disease expert Anthony Fauci and White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator Deborah Birx. Bush wanted both of them to know that he was available to do whatever he could to motivate his fellow citizens to get vaccinated, Ford said. If risk groups were catered for, the former president would like to get vaccinated in front of the camera. .
The only other former US president still alive, Jimmy Carter, also requested vaccinations. However, the 96-year-old man gave up his promise to get vaccinated publicly.
President-elect Biden also announced that he would be publicly vaccinated as soon as a vaccine is approved. “If Dr. Fauci says we have a safe vaccine, I will be in front of the public,” said the future president, then touched his shoulder with his hand to indicate a vaccine. “It is important to communicate to the American population that it is safe.”
