All the surviving former US presidents except Donald Trump have teamed up in a video urging Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama — and the former first ladies — appear in the one-minute spot released Thursday, endorsing the US vaccination campaign and sharing what they miss about pre-pandemic life.
“This vaccine means hope,” Obama says. “It will protect you and those you love from this dangerous and deadly disease.”
Obama goes on to say he misses seeing former first lady Michelle Obama’s 83-year-old mother Marian — “to hug her and see her on her birthday.”
“I want to go back to work and be able to move around,” Clinton says in the ad.
Bush says he cannot wait to go see his baseball team, the Texas Rangers, play in a packed stadium.
