During a Senate hearing on coronavirus measures on Tuesday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders pushed U.S. health officials about whether a COVID-19 vaccine would be available for all Americans, regardless of their ability to pay, and asked for them to guarantee that poor and working people wouldn’t be the “last in line” to receive it.

Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir said that while it was not in his control, he said he would advocate to others in the Trump administration “that everyone will receive the vaccine regardless of income.”

When asked whether it would be distributed to all free of charge, the FDA commissioner said he hoped so but that payments were not under his responsibility.

Sanders was among lawmakers questioning top administration and health officials Tuesday on the reopening of the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

If a vaccine is developed we need to investigate the vaccine developer especially if anyone like Dr. Fauchi name is on it!

Bernie likes the sound of his own voice. Of course any vaccine would be available to everyone. If not Bernie could certainly afford to pay for some.

What happened to Sanders? Once been a civil rights activist and marched with MLK, *yet endorsed and marched with Joe Biden who has records of racism, homophobia, and “grabby” allegations*
