In less than three months, Israel expects to have immunized all its citizens who are over 16 against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports achieving that goal would likely make Israel the world's first to immunize the vast majority of its population. Israel has far outpaced the rest of the world with its vaccination campaign. In fact, it has already administered the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to about one in five of its citizens. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced a deal with Pfizer to secure enough doses to immunize its adult population by the end of March.

Despite being well aware of the horrors of COVID-19, a surprising number of healthcare workers are refusing to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports that in some institutions, as many as 80% of staff are turning down a vaccine. The resistance to vaccination is reportedly due to unfounded fears about the side-effects of these life-saving shots. The two vaccines administered in the US have been FDA approved, meaning that the benefits outweigh any potential risks. Dr. Joseph Varon says more than half of the nurses in his critical care unit are objecting to getting inoculated for political reasons. And in Portland, Oregon, cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Stephen Noble says resistance comes from not wanting to be a 'guinea pig.'
President-elect Joe Biden was publicly vaccinated against the novel coronavirus COVID-19 vaccine on Monday. On television, Biden demonstrated that the shot is safe and necessary to protect the country from the virus. COVID-19 has led to the death of nearly 300,000 Americans. According to HuffPost, Biden received his first of the two doses required for the vaccine at ChristianaCare Hospital in Delaware. We owe these folks a lot. The scientists and the people who put this together, the frontline workers, the people that were the ones that did the clinical work. President-Elect Joe Biden
