Obama says he may take coronavirus vaccine on TV to build trust in it
By Marina Pitofsky - 12/02/20 05:53 PM EST

Former President Obama says in a new interview that he may take the future coronavirus vaccine on TV to build trust among Americans in the inoculation, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

“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,” Obama said on SiriusXM’s “The Joe Madison Show” in an interview set to be released in full on Thursday. “What I don’t trust is getting COVID.”

According to a Gallup poll released last month, 42 percent of Americans said they would not take a vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if it was immediately available at no cost. Only 48 percent of non-white adults said they would take the vaccine.


Obama called on Americans of color, specifically Black Americans, to take the vaccine if it is approved by top health officials, Politico reported. He noted distrust in the government over incidents such as the Tuskegee experiment, in which a group of Black men with syphilis were not told their diagnosis for decades and denied treatment.

Retired POTUS, wealthy, Aged 59, good health, no likely pre-existing conditions........

So which health professional or nursing home resident is getting bumped for this cheesy photo-op.

Hypocritic bastard.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

How will we know he is really taking the vaccine?  Truth from the party of the father of lies?

If he survived the 80s, I doubt he needs to worry about corona.
