U.S. service members would be among the first Americans to receive the vaccine against COVID-19 if one is proven to be safe and effective, senior administration officials told reporters Tuesday.
Speaking about the Trump administration's effort to develop, make and distribute a working vaccine against the deadly coronavirus by early next year, officials said those likely to receive it first include the most vulnerable, such as the elderly, those with underlying health conditions, workers in essential businesses and the U.S. military.
"Our role, as the federal government, is to ensure anyone who is vulnerable, cannot afford it and desire it can get it, those critical to infrastructure get it, essential workers get it, and those associated with national defense get it. That's our obligation," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak in an official capacity.
Comment: The article talks about "conspiracy theories," such as the coronavirus being created in a lab, but there has been no definite proof or agreement among experts that it WASN'T created in a lab. Basically this whole study is about thought control and labeling anyone who doesn't believe in the official story given by authorities surrounding the coronavirus as a "conspiracy theorist."
