ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Vice President Mike Pence received a coronavirus vaccine on live television Friday morning at the White House, a measure that the Trump administration said was intended to “promote the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and build confidence among the American people.”⁣ ⁣ His wife, Karen Pence, and the surgeon general, Jerome Adams, also received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The event was held in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where doctors from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center administered the vaccine.⁣ ⁣ President-elect Joe Biden is scheduled to receive an injection on camera next week.⁣ ⁣ On Friday morning, President Trump was not promoting Pence’s event, which his aides had asked all television networks to carry live. “The Russia Hoax becomes an even bigger lie!” the president tweeted about a minute before Pence’s event began.⁣ ⁣ In the last five days, the U.S. has reported over 1 million new cases and although the vaccine may provide a ray of hope as the coronavirus kills about 3,000 people in the country a day, the message on the virus from the administration’s highest officials remains muddled and often contradictory.⁣ ⁣ Pence received his first vaccine shot and is encouraging other Americans to follow suit six months after he wrote an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal under the headline “There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave.’” This week he hosted a holiday party at his residence at which guests mingled in an outdoor tent and posed for pictures without masks, according to attendees.⁣ ⁣ Trump, who recovered from his own bout with the virus after being treated with experimental drugs at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, is described by aides and allies as preoccupied with the election results that he still refuses to accept, and has shown no interest in participating in any kind of public health message.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio for the latest.
