Democrat President Joe Biden has revealed that he’s asked Congress for funding to develop a new Covid vaccine, asserting that “everybody” will take the shot.
Speaking to reporters, Biden said his administration will require all U.S. citizens to take the new shot, “no matter whether they’ve [been vaccinated] before or not.”
Biden made the comments during his luxury vacation in Lake Tahoe when asked Friday about the apparent uptick in Covid cases.
During his statement, Biden said that America needs a vaccine “that works.”
He responded by saying that he had “signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works,” according to the Associated Press.
“Tentatively it is recommended that it will likely be recommended everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not,” he added.
