Biden administration would welcome Trump’s help in promoting vaccine

The White House said it would welcome former Pres. Trump’s help in promoting the coronavirus vaccine to his supporters. A recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll shows 47% of people who supported Trump in the 2020 election said they wouldn’t get the vaccine. Pres. Biden urged “all local docs and ministers and priests to talk about why - why it's important to get in - to get that vaccine, and even after that, until everyone is in fact vaccinated, to wear this mask.” Former CDC Director Tom Frieden joins AC360 to discuss vaccine hesitancy. Plus, the President and other top officials, including Vice Pres. Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden, have started their cross-country “Help is Here” tour to promote the Covid relief plan. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tells Anderson Cooper how the package will benefit Americans.   Airdate: March 15, 2021   Guests: Dr. Tom Frieden Secy.
