Washington (Associated Press)-On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence received the COVID-19 vaccination during a live televised event to reassure Americans that the vaccine is safe.

In his speech after the shooting, Pence called the speed of development of this vaccine a "medical miracle."

Pence said: "The American people can rest assured: we have one, and maybe even two kinds of vaccines can be bought within a few hours." "It refers to the approval of the Moderna vaccine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

He added: “Building confidence in vaccines is the reason we came here this morning.”

Pence's wife Karen and surgeon Jerome Adams were also shot during the televised White House incident.

President Donald Trump’s administration helped provide vaccinations against the coronavirus even earlier than some people in his administration. It launched Operation Warp Speed ​​(Operation Warp Speed) in the Rose Garden of the White House this spring. ), this is a government campaign aimed at the rapid development and distribution of vaccines.

However, five days after the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the United States, Trump did not hold any public activities to promote the activities. He has not been vaccinated himself. He has only tweeted twice. At the same time, Penny has become a focal point-visiting vaccine production facilities this week and receiving the dose in person on live TV on Friday morning. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Mitch McConnell) said on Thursday that they will be vaccinated in the next few days.

Trump is relatively silent because he continues to steer his nose for his defeat in the November 3 general election and takes more and more extreme efforts to overthrow the will of the people. People familiar with the matter said he has cancelled plans for assistants who want him to become the public face of the vaccination campaign, avoid visiting laboratories and production facilities to thank workers, or host efforts to build public confidence in vaccination.

Lawrence Gostin, a professor of public health at Georgetown Law School, said that this creepy approach is surprising, especially for a president who is rarely ashamed to admit himself. Words.

He said: “Since the election, the president’s response to COVID has been relatively low-key, which is very curious and runs counter to Trump’s own interests.” Gostin has criticized Trump’s handling of this pandemic in the past. Said that he feels "commendable" for "Operation Warp Speed" and bet on two vaccines using breakthrough mRNA technology.

He said: "He has played a leading role in the development of the vaccine, and he should be proud of publicly demonstrating his trust in the COVID vaccine."

Before the Food and Drug Administration approved Pfizer's vaccine last week, Trump did appear at the White House's "summit." The event included an introductory videotape highlighting the past comments of those people, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, a senior government infectious disease expert, who doubted whether the vaccination was ready this year.

However, since the vaccine is actually being injected, many Trump aides are confused by his low-key. They think this is an opportunity that the president missed. The president left office at noon on January 20. He was notorious for helping to oversee the rapid development and deployment of a vaccine that is expected to eventually contain the virus that has killed 310,000 Americans.

Trump himself tried to minimize his trust in the successor President Joe Biden, who will host a nationwide injection campaign next year. Biden expects to receive his shot next week.

Trump told reporters: "Don't let Joe Biden work for this vaccine." "Don't let him praise this vaccine, because these vaccines are me, and I am pushing harder than before. People move forward."

Despite Trump’s request, FDA scientists still proposed the concept of “warp speed operation”, a work supported by the White House, through which millions of doses of coronavirus vaccines and vaccines are being produced even though they are still under evaluation. Therapeutic agent. Much of the foundation work for the shooting was laid in the past decade, including research on messenger RNA or mRNA used in a vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Moderna. Pfizer has developed the vaccine outside of Warp Speed, but is working with the federal government to manufacture and distribute it.

Trump's low-key attitude may have an impact on public health. The nation’s largest infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told NBC News this week that 75% to 85% of the country’s vaccines need to be vaccinated in order to achieve “group immunity”, which makes public education campaigns about vaccine safety more urgent . .

An Associated Press-NORC Public Affairs Research Center survey found that only about half of Americans want the vaccine as soon as possible. Another quarter of the public are unsure, while the remaining quarter said they are not interested. Some people simply oppose vaccines. Others worry that the injection has been kicked out and want to see how the deployment goes.

While senior officials began to develop plans to publicly receive the vaccine to build public confidence, Trump was hospitalized for COVID-19 in October.

According to the guidance of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is currently insufficient information to determine whether people with COVID-19 (such as Trump) should receive the vaccine. Nonetheless, Fauci suggested that Trump make an immediate public appearance.

"Even if the president himself has been infected and he is likely to have protective antibodies, we are not sure how long this protection will last. Therefore, it is certain that I recommend that he should also be vaccinated. Vice President." Fauci told ABC News.

It is unclear whether the first lady Melania Trump, who was ill with COVID-19 at the same time as her husband, will be vaccinated.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters this week that Trump, who had previously spread misinformation about other vaccines, tried to convey information about priorities by delaying his own vaccination.

She said: "The president wants to send a parallel message, that is, our residents of long-term care facilities and our frontline workers are very important."

Godin disagreed. He said: "If President Trump is not obviously enthusiastic, including shooting on national television, it will seriously damage the public's trust in this vaccine." "It is not enough to let Vice President Pence act as an agent."

The president and his family are frequently vaccinated to increase public confidence. President Dwight Eisenhower emphasized that one of his grandsons was one of the first American children to receive polio vaccination. In 2009, President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle vaccinated two daughters of these two high-risk groups for swine flu.
