According to reports Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have all agreed to take the Covid-19 vaccine on camera when it's ready.
The hope is that it will encourage other people to get the vaccine once it's out. In an interview with Joe Madison and Barack Obama that comes out today, Barack states
“People like Anthony Fauci, who I know, and I’ve worked with, I trust completely,”Obama said. “So, if Anthony Fauci tells me this vaccine is safe, and can vaccinate, you know, immunize you from getting Covid, absolutely, I’m going to take it.”
“I promise you that when it’s been made for people who are less at risk, I will be taking it,” he continued. “I may end up taking it on TV or having it filmed, just so that people know that I trust this science, and what I don’t trust is getting Covid.”
Bush reached out to Dr. Fauci and asked how he could help.
Clinton's press secretary said
“President Clinton will definitely take a vaccine as soon as available to him, based on the priorities determined by public health officials. And he will do it in a public setting if it will help urge all Americans to do the same,”
