Barack Obama, George W Bush, and Bill Clinton will be taking the coronavirus vaccine to make a statement about the vaccine.
They will be taking the vaccine on live television.
Barack Obama, the former president of the United States of America, released a statement about the vaccine.
The statement says:
People like Anthony Fauci, who I know, and I’ve worked with, I trust completely. So, if Anthony Fauci tells me this vaccine is safe, and can vaccinate, you know, immunise 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. 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.
Obama is not the only one.
George W Bush, the president before Barack Obama, wants Americans to be calm and to not be afraid of the coronavirus vaccine.
Freddy Ford, the chief of staff of Bush, released a statement about the vaccine with CNN, where they said:
A few weeks ago President Bush asked me to let Dr. Fauci and [the White House coronavirus response coordinator] Dr. Birx know that, when the time is right, he wants to do what he can to help encourage his fellow citizens to get vaccinated. First, the vaccines need to be deemed safe and administered to the priority populations. Then, President Bush will get in line for his, and will gladly do so on camera.
Bill Clinton, the predecessor of the Bush administration, has also indicated his willingness to join his former Presidents to get the vaccine.
Angel Urena, the press secretary of Clinton, said that the former president is going to take the vaccine as soon as it is available.
During the statement that was released to CNN, Urena 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.
