Calling it a "medical miracle," Vice President Mike Pence on Friday morning publicly took the newly approved coronavirus vaccine. As the vice president, the second lady, and the surgeon general were administered their vaccinations, signs behind them read "Operation Warp Speed" and "Safe and Effective." Warp Speed is the name of the federal program implemented by the White House this year to produce a coronavirus vaccine. On Thursday, a second vaccine that’s been produced by the drug maker Moderna was recommended for emergency use approval by an FDA advisory panel. "With cases rising across the country, hospitalizations rising across the country, we have a ways to go," the vice president noted.
