„I promise you that when it’s been made for people who are less at risk, I will be taking it,“ the former president said.
Former President Barack Obama has said that he would take the COVID-19 vaccine if Dr. Anthony Fauci deems it safe—and he might do it live on television to show Americans that he trusts the science. In a pre-taped interview with SiriusXM on Wednesday, obtained by Newsweek, Obama told host Joe Madison that he trusts Fauci completely and would „absolutely“ take the vaccine if the top scientist says it’s „safe and can immunize you from getting COVID.“ „I promise you that when it’s been made for people who are less at risk, I will be taking it,“ Obama said. „I may end up taking it on TV or having it filmed, just so that people know that I trust this science, and what I don’t trust is getting COVID.“ The former president acknowledged vaccine skepticism among the African American community and stressed the importance of changing their opinion.
