Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the White House's coronavirus task force, is scheduled to be vaccinated for COVID-19 Friday morning.

The public vaccination at the White House is intended to build public confidence in the vaccine which was recently approved, according to the administration.

"Be confident that we have cut red tape but we've cut no corners when it comes to the development of this vaccine," Pence said during a visit to a vaccine production facility in Indiana Tuesday. "I look forward, in the days ahead, to receiving the vaccine myself and do so without hesitation."

Pence's wife, Karen, will also receive it as will Surgeon General Jerome Adams. The vaccination will take place at 8 a.m. EST.

    1. @Climate Fails but you have to draw back to make sure you aren’t in a veins/artery even with IM injections. We’re taught this in med school.

  1. Why do we need to be publicly convinced of anything. It’s like someone putting one foot in a lions den and saying it’s safe to go in.

    1. @Just More oh stop! This isn’t science, it’s Frankenstein science! It changes your freaking DNA! It has toxins and aborted babies cells in it! It’s super toxic and prevents nothing!

  2. Everyone is responsible for their own health. Do your own research, you’re the one who has to live with the consequences whether you choose to get the vaccine or not.

    1. @Just More scandals in most healthcare institutions and the IGNORED COURT ORDER…not enough ??? What research google ??? 😳😂😴🚫😈🌎

    2. @Just More havnt you seen and read the 18 years of trying to make a coronavirus vaccine? And how it killed the animals when they were challenged with the actual virus. Them skipping animal trials, rushing the safety studies, cherry picking there data, with low test subjects, and dont know long term effects or what happens when you come in contact with a virus. THATS NOT SCIENCE! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. YOU CANNOT KNOW IF ITS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN 7 MONTHS! THATS NOT SCIENCE!!!!

    3. @Just More it’s not worse case scenario it doesnt work. Omg! Dont you know anything about the body, immune system, antibodies, t cells, ect. This will create binding antibodies, it will prime your cells. When you come in contact with the virus, you will get immune enhancement and cytokine storm. Your immune system will over react and you will get very very sick and most likely die!!!! That’s what every animal study proved. And this vaccine creates the same types of antibodies. NO VACCINE IS SAFE OR EFFECTIVE!!!!!! ZERO OF THEM HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE SAFE OR EFFECTIVE!!!!! WTF!

    4. @Just More a vaccine takes 4 years to develop he did it in less than a year doesn’t sound safe to me needs more research more than 9 months

    1. First off, the people in this comments section doubting and hating on science should be ashamed of themselves. You people rely on science every day of your lives and here you are being a disgrace. Historically, an approved vaccine has never had any harmful long term effects. Worst case scenario it doesn’t work on you. Conspiracies really make you look stupid. Secondly, Trump and his administration had no hand in producing this vaccine. It’s not an American vaccine, idiots!

    1. The one on P nice seemed to pull out while giving the vaccine. And why did at least him and the woman have bandaids on already?

    1. @mark not fake on purpose patented dis-eases patented solutions…scandals in all these organizations….cdc even have a fugitive!!!

    1. @benny fridheim doesn’t matter if he actually took it…he presented the image of taking it.. which is Shilling for Gates

  3. Y’all ever seen a parent try to get a baby to eat something nasty like vegetable flavored baby food? They fake like they are eating it making noises “mmmm it’s so good” then gives it to the baby . Yea that’s what we just seen.

  4. “Get the vaccine, but keep wearing masks. Oh, and stay home forever. We’ll let you know when it’s safe.”

    1. @bombzicle the patented parts…. And not natural to start with….and the rushed to continue the for profits toxics before the DRAINING of the swamp first…when a prevention was 100% Argentina trails plus other regions
      ….frks GMO$ ways are Machiavellian ways for decades where have u live…!!!

  5. This stunt doesn’t mean he actually took the vaccine! It could be saline water for all we know! Don’t be deceived!
