Bush, and Barack Obama — who starred in an Inauguration Day video playing up the democratic transfer of power — will also soon be jointly urging wary Americans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to sources familiar with the project. The sources requested anonymity to speak candidly.

Gathered to watch President Biden take the oath of office and film a message emphasizing the ceremony's importance to the republic, " they also recorded a PSA [public service announcement] aimed at building confidence in the safety and efficacy of the covid vaccine ," one of the sources said. That message " will be released in the coming weeks ," the source added.  Another source said the PSA was "a work in progress" and confirmed the rough timetable.

New Government ad campaign targets rule-breakers with messages from Covid patients and staff

A hard-hitting new ad campaign challenges members of the public breaching lockdown rules, in a significant shift in Government messaging on Covid-19 .

The new ads feature close-ups of frontline medical practitioners and Covid-19 patients' faces, asking: "Can you look them in the eyes and tell them you're helping by staying at home?"

Until now, messaging has largely focussed on spreading a "stay at home" message to encourage compliance with lockdown rules, rather than focus on individuals.

Government pulls ad that states joggers are 'highly likely to have Covid-19' | Campaign US

The UK government has chosen to discontinue a radio ad that says joggers are "highly likely to have Covid-19". After being contacted by the Advertising Standards Authority, the Cabinet Office has said the disputed claim will not be repeated.

The ASA received complaints about the 30-second radio ad that begins: "Someone jogging, walking their dog or working out in the park is highly likely to have Covid-19. This is a national health emergency."

ASA rules require that advertisers hold robust documentary evidence to prove claims that are capable of substantiation. Following a conversation, the Cabinet office worked to "swiftly address and resolve the matter without the need for formal investigation", the ASA said in a statement, "we consider the matter closed".
