Trump Recommends Americans Get a COVID-19 Vaccine
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday advised Americans to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
“I would recommend it. And I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it, and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News.
Trump said Americans have freedoms “and we have to live by that, and I agree with that also.”
“But it’s a great vaccine. It’s a safe vaccine, and it’s something that works. And we’ve been working round the clock. And what I got the FDA to do this would have happened in many, many years from now if I didn’t get involved, and if we did get involved,” he continued. “I wouldn’t say the FDA loves me, but I pushed them very, very hard, harder than they’ve ever been pushed. And a number of the people in the FDA admitted that and at the end, they were very happy.”
Any negotiations with the US would have to address the need for a guarantee that Washington won’t quit the deal again, Iran s foreign minister said.He said Iran would return to full compliance with the original terms of the deal the minute the US officially rejoins
A WHO statement said it had approved the vaccine as produced by AstraZeneca-SKBio (Republic of Korea) and the Serum Institute of India.The AstraZeneca/Oxford shot has been hailed because it is cheaper and easier to distribute than some rivals
The argument for free markets is not that they are perfect. The argument is that the known alternatives are much worse. And we have seen a catastrophic failure of government at all levels around the world to handle this pandemic, especially in delivering tests and vaccines.
Those age 75 and older can get the vaccine, Mayor de Blasio announced, along with first responders, educators and childcare workers, “frontline essential workers” and public safety and public transit workers.
