The three most recent former presidents hope the awareness campaign to increase confidence in its safety and effectiveness will be a powerful message as American public health officials try to persuade people to get vaccinated.
Freddie Ford, Bush’s chief of staff, told CNN that President Dr. Anthony F. C. – Director of National Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the country’s top infectious disease specialist – and Dr. Deb Borah have reached out to Berks. The White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, to see how it can help promote the vaccine.
“A few weeks ago, President Bush asked me to tell Dr. Faucy and Dr. Burks that, when the time is right, he wants to do everything he can to help encourage his fellow citizens to be vaccinated.” Ford told CNN. “First, vaccines need to be considered safe and the priority population needs to be managed. After that, President Bush will come out in their favor, and gladly do it on camera.”
Clinton’s press secretary told CNN on Wednesday that she would also prepare to take the vaccine in public to promote this.
Angel Urena said, “President Clinton will definitely get him vaccinated as soon as possible based on the priorities set by public health officials. And he will do so in a public setting if he urges all Americans to do the same.” .
“People like Anthony Fauci, whom I know, and I’ve worked with, have full confidence in me,” Obama said. “So, if Anthony Fawcett tells me that this vaccine is safe, and can give a vaccine, you know, get you vaccinated in getting covid, absolutely, I’ll go get it.”
He said, ‘I promise you that when it is made for people with low risk, I will take it.’
He added, “I can take it on TV or shoot it so people know I’m trusting this science, and I’m getting a coward who I don’t trust.”
CNN is reaching out to representatives of former President Jimmy Carter to see if he is willing to take the vaccine in public as well.
The Bush family has a history of bending together with other presidents to promote key causes. Bush’s father and mother, the late former Presidents George HW Bush and Barbara Bush, took a commercial flight on September 11, 2001, again after the terrorist attacks to boost public confidence in the flight. George HW Bush and Clinton worked together to bring together areas affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and for other charitable causes in the years following their presidency.
Obama now also aims to use his presidential perch for a public awareness campaign.
During the interview, Obama appeared to acknowledge the very real problem of vaccine contractions, which some health experts worry could cause minorities – such as those more adversely affected by the coronavirus epidemic – to avoid firing them.
“I understand that you know historically – everything dates back to Tuscany experiments – and why the African American community is a little skeptical. But the fact of the matter is why we didn’t give the vaccines.” T is no longer polio. This is because we do not have a whole bunch of children dying from measles and smallpox and diseases that are used to eradicate entire populations and communities. “
Previous studies have revealed that minority communities have a higher mortality rate than Covid-19, are more open and are most vulnerable in part due to existing conditions.
