Aaron was recently seen in public getting the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and encouraged Black Americans to do the same. (Before being released to the public, vaccine-makers went through large, lengthy clinical trials to ensure that their product is completely safe. On Sept. 8, nine of the leading vaccine makers — including Pfizer and Moderna — signed a pledge vowing to follow "high ethical standards" and not rush a vaccine into production before it is proven to work.)
"I don't have any qualms about it at all, you know. I feel quite proud of myself for doing something like this," he told the Associated Press at the time. "It's just a small thing that can help zillions of people in this country."
"I was proud to get the COVID-19 vaccine earlier today at Morehouse School of Medicine," he added on social media. "I hope you do the same!"
