Will generate hope
After a poor start, the Trump administration plans to launch a staggering $ 250 million (about NOK 2.2 billion) public information campaign, with the goal of getting as many Americans as possible vaccinated. writes the New York Times.
The campaign, which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Attention and Health, aims to generate hope in the initial phase of vaccination.
Almost 300,000 Americans have lost their lives so far as a result of Covid-19. So far, 2,400 Americans die every day, according to Reuters.
Mistrust and doubt
Federal officials have acknowledged that this vaccination campaign will be complicated, as they have to deal with strong mistrust and doubt of the authorities among the American people.
– When you have an anti-science element alongside a division in the country, it will be a challenge, Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infection adviser, said in an interview Friday. However, he denied that it was specifically targeted at Trump.
Taking credit for the vaccine
Initially, the campaign was intended to use celebrities who consider themselves positive about President Donald Trump. Democrats called this propaganda, thinking the idea was for Trump to be re-elected president.
Trump has spent much of the year downplaying the coronavirus and promoting ineffective treatments, but this week he was quick to take credit for the vaccine.
