Clinton, Bush, Obama Willing to Take COVID-19 Vaccine Live on TV
"America’s three most recent former presidents have reportedly all said they would publicly take a COVID-19 vaccine once one is approved to help promote the drug’s safety," the New York Post reports in the article by Kenneth Garger.
Based on the same source, former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton told CNN of their intentions, while former President Barack Obama said in an interview set to air Thursday he may end up taking a COVID-19 vaccine on TV.
Bush has even reached out to White House coronavirus task force members Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx to volunteer to help encourage US citizens to take the vaccine, the former president’s chief of staff, Freddy Ford, told CNN.
Clinton’s press secretary, Angel Urena, said the 42nd president is also on board.
“President Clinton will definitely take a vaccine as soon as available to him, based on the priorities determined by public health officials,” Urena said.
In an interview with SiriusXM host Joe Madison set to air Thursday, Obama vowed to take the vaccine once it’s deemed safe, reported CNN.
