US President-elect Joe Biden said he would publicly take a COVID-19 vaccine, joining three former presidents, to demonstrate its safety to the public and encourage them to get vaccinated. A study has shown that about 40 percent of Americans do not want to get a COVID-19 vaccine, fearing side-effects on the body.
America is the worst-affected country by COVID-19 pandemic. So far, more than 4.5 million US citizens are infected with the virus and over 2,82,000 have died. Of course, the vaccine is eagerly awaited, which is likely to be approved soon. But the manner in which public reluctance has come to the fore about the vaccine has made the administration worried.
In an interview, former President Barack Obama said he had full faith in top American infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci. They said that when Dr Fauci says we have a vaccine that is completely safe, then they are going to take its dose. They said that they could get the vaccine on TV with a live passage, or it could be recorded so that people knew they had full faith in the science of this vaccine.
