The timeline is:
You trusted Trump.
You took the vax.
You accuse many of us of having blinders on because we are fervently pro-Trump. But many/most of us chose not to get the vax in spite of our strong support of him for POTUS. Which of us truly wore blinders?
There big red flags warning us to stay away. The vax had not been properly tested. Trump has no medical training; we trust him in business, economy, etc., but not a new medical procedure. The government was TOO eager to push it. (Under Biden, the government mandated it.) Common sense stuff. The vax clearly was nonsense — much worse than nonsense. If something is too good to be true, it usually is.
It’s terrible that you are suffering medical issues due to the vax. WHY did you trust him? Were you forced to be vaxed for a job, etc.?
I believe that Trump HAS to find some clever and subtle way to try to reverse his still-vocal support of the vax. His continued support of it makes him look like a fool in that regard. Apologize? I don’t know. But something.
I’m thinking he should boldly throw the blame to Thirty Pence, who foisted Fauci and Birx on him, and who was the Leader of that abominable task force. Do it loudly; do it often. That’s where the blame lies. Who knows what went on behind the scenes on this issue? Did he have advisors who told him to tread lightly on the vax, and he ignored them? Too many questions, and we’ll never know the answers.
Thank you for your concern. I’ve gone over the scenario that unfolded in great detail here before, but to summarize, my high paying job was requiring the vax, no exceptions. I was rightfully concerned about it, to the point I sought out legal counsel, but every lawyer I approached in my area said that yes, I might have a case, but, I would almost certainly lose my job in the process. That the loss of my job could then be used to show damages to a court, but the lawyer costs etc would be excessive while I had no income. I was advised that all little small cases like mine would eventually be sucked up into larger, class action type suits, which would delay it even further. So, I would need to find another job immediately if I wanted to pursue it, and in the lockdown environment, new hires weren’t really happening, especially for jobs of the level I have.
So I even did a statistical risk analysis, as I typically do for big decisions. At the time, the dangers of the vax weren’t quite as clear as they became shortly thereafter. They were definitely a risk, but they weren’t yet well defined, and therefore didn’t rate as high as they should have on the decision matrix. The pros were at least equal, being keep my job, do what my doctor wanted, MAYBE protect myself from the virus, and lower down, that I could trust Trump to not mislead me on something so critical.
As I said earlier, I was still a pretty staunch supporter of Trump at the time, and even my wife said he wouldn’t be saying all the positive things he was about it, if it was really that dangerous, and it was just the haters who were making a big deal out of it, etc. And even after I started having the medical complications, which were not only fairly immediate but visibly evident (swollen feet first, swollen abdomen later) I still wasn’t that mad at Trump. As I said, it was months later, when he had the nerve to call the vax one of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind, that really set me off, because by this time there were SOOO many people having problems, and his position on the subject was/is completely beyond normal reason.

He’s not going to change his position, ever. Trump offering the Chief Scientist of the White House job to Bill Gates, his presentation of awards to Fauci on his final day in office, his refusal to ever even mention the words gain of function, etc, should be more than enough to convince you he’s not budging. Apparently he’s not ever going to be even questioned about it again, either, nor are his supporters ever going to hold him to account. But they should, as that vax was the most dangerous product ever released on a nationwide scale, and all potential therapies for Covid were being blocked to keep the emergency order for the vax in place. Add that to the deadly ventilators and remdesivir that were also being pushed, including by Trump, and gain of function (and the various fallout related to it) is the one true life and death issue we currently and individually face as subjects in this country.
I’ll still vote for Trump, if he’s on ballot against Biden, because, he’s “Better than Biden” (BTB), but I think the author of the parent article hit on some key points. Specifically that those of us who are Christians should not be misled, or confused, about where our focus should be, which should be on serving God, and not politicians, first and foremost. I’m of course not accusing you, or anyone specific of it, but anyone who is honest knows that it’s sadly going on with many out there. Politicians can, and will, mislead us, every last one of them. God will not. Thanks.
