[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] On the 19th (local time), U.S. President Joe Biden visited Pfizer's vaccine manufacturing plant in Michigan and emphasized the safety of the vaccine to the public.

According to major foreign media, President Biden said, "The previous administration failed to order enough vaccines, did not mobilize efforts for vaccination, and did not establish vaccine centers." He added, "That changed the moment we took office," expressing his hope that the public would have confidence in the safety of the vaccine.

He continued, "If there is one message that must be delivered to everyone in this country, it is that 'the vaccine is safe,'" urging people to get vaccinated for themselves, their families, their communities, and the nation, emphasizing, "That is how we overcome this pandemic."

He also stated, "Finding treatments for Americans alone is not enough. Because we cannot build walls or fences high enough to stop the pandemic, we need treatments that the world can participate in," advocating for the necessity of financial support for vaccine distribution in impoverished countries.
