A September poll conducted by the COVID Collaborative and the National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( NAACP ) found that only 14 % of black and Latino respondents said that the vaccine would be safe and 18 % said it would be effective .
An Axios-Ipsos poll found that 26 % of blacks would get the vaccine as soon as it was available compared to 55 % of whites and 54 % of Hispanics .
The coronavirus vaccine will be administered first to frontline healthcare workers , the elderly and nursing home patients , high-risk patients , and essential workers , according to the Centers for Disease Control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommendation .

Vice President Mike Pence and Surgeon General Jerome Adams received Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine on camera Friday morning.
“I didn’t feel a thing, well done!” Pence said after getting the shot. The vaccine was the first of two doses that the officials must receive in order for the vaccine to be effective.
Several public officials have received the vaccine so far in order to boost public confidence.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell both said that they will get the vaccine within days, and President-elect Joe Biden said that he will get it in a week or so, NPR reported.

“Karen and I were more than happy to step forward before this week was out, to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine, that we have secured and produced for the American people,” Pence said in a Friday morning speech. “It’s a truly inspiring day. As the people of this country witnessed this past week, under Operation Warp Speed, the first coronavirus vaccine is literally being administered in states across the country to millions of Americans.”
WATCH:
Public figures getting the vaccine on camera is part of an effort to boost confidence among Americans and encourage a higher percentage of people to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them. Thirty-seven percent of Americans were willing to get the vaccine right away, and the majority said that they were worried about potential side effects, according to a recent CivicScience poll.

Instead of being treated like the hero he was , the authorities and media more or less destroyed his life .
At the same time , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a head start on getting away and he continued to unleash carnage prior to his 2003 arrest .
Jewell was an easy target for the media to make fun of .
He was a downtrodden man , he wasn ’ t overly impressive as an individual on your first look , he lived with his mother and he didn ’ t have a ton of money .
Yet , he was a hero , and the media and the authorities just didn ’ t give a damn .
It ’ s honestly infuriating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there are certainly some extreme liberties taken with the storytelling , and some things happen that didn ’ t happen with Eric Rudolph in real life .
As long as you know that going in , it won ’ t ruin anything .

Jewell was an easy target for the media to make fun of. He was a downtrodden man, he wasn’t overly impressive as an individual on your first look, he lived with his mother and he didn’t have a ton of money.
Yet, he was a hero, and the media and the authorities just didn’t give a damn. It’s honestly infuriating the way he was treated.

Now, there are certainly some extreme liberties taken with the storytelling, and some things happen that didn’t happen with Eric Rudolph in real life. As long as you know that going in, it won’t ruin anything. Just keep it in mind. It’s normal in Hollywood, but it doesn’t ruin “Manhunt: Deadly Games” at all.
So, if you love history, the story of Richard Jewell and the hunt for Eric Rudolph, I can’t recommend “Manhunt: Deadly Games” enough. You’ll find yourself cruising through it once you start.

It really does seem like things are shaping up for Harbaugh to stick around for at least another season in Ann Arbor.
