John Ullyot: Last News

Many Americans were unhappy when National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot issued a statement Sunday (Nov. 13) saying that the White House staff would be among the first people to get the Pfizer and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Chelsea Clinton, however, was not. The 40-year-old daughter of Hillary Clinton tweeted the support for the move on Monday (Nov. 14) while sharing a clip of Dr. Celine Grounder, an infectious disease expert, on CNN. “Completely agree with @celinegounder. If we expect @WhiteHouse staff to manage #covid19, they are then critical workers in this moment. We also need the Americans who listen to [Donald Trump] to see his & his team’s vote of confidence in the vaccine by being vaccinated.”

The Coronavirus vaccine was originally intended to be distributed to senior White House officials early and there were a lot of thoughts about this from the general public.
