VP Harris in South Carolina to push COVID vaccination drive By MICHELLE LIUJune 14, 2021 GMT GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris visited South Carolina on Monday to kick off a nationwide push to vaccinate millions more Americans against the coronavirus as July 4 holiday celebrations loom. Harris spoke at the Phillis Wheatley Community Center at a vaccine mobilization event, reminding an audience of more than 150 that the coronavirus vaccines available are safe, free and effective in an effort to debunk misinformation and dislodge vaccine skepticism experts say have slowed down the administration of the shots across the country. “They are safe, and they are free,” Harris said of the vaccines. “They are inspected, and it is that simple.”
