Joe Biden: ‘I’d Be Happy’ to Get Covid Vaccine as Soon as Dr. Fauci Says It’s Safe

‘It’s important to communicate to the American people it’s safe, it’s safe to do this’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "I'd be happy to do that. When Dr. Fauci says we have a vaccine that is safe, that’s the moment in which I will stand before the public and see that — look, part of what has to happen, Jake, and you know as well as I do, people have lost faith in the ability of the vaccine to work. Already, the numbers are really staggeringly low. And it matters what a president and a vice president do. So I think that my three predecessors have set the model as to what should be done, saying once it’s declared to be safe, and I think Barack said once Fauci says — that’s my measure — then obviously we’ll take it. And it’s important to communicate to the American people it’s safe, it's safe to do this."
