Jill Biden Tours a Children’s Vaccination Clinic and Recognizes Fauci as an “American Hero”
First lady Jill Biden held up Anthony Fauci as an “American hero” on Thursday as the two toured a local children’s vaccination clinic to spotlight coronavirus vaccinations of young Americans.
The first lady, clad in a pink pantsuit and white face mask with a flower design, visited staff and adolescents alongside Fauci at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. The children were receiving doses of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine at the clinic.
“Did you meet our American hero?” Biden asked staffers as she entered a bright atrium at the hospital, introducing Fauci to applause from the room.
The trip was Biden’s first as first lady to the children’s hospital in Washington, D.C., and the latest sign of her using her platform to aggressively advocate for the White House’s agenda.
