President Trump Supports Vaccine, Doesn’t Support Mandates December 23, 2021 | Sundance | 76 Comments
President Trump gave an interview to Candace Owens for The Daily Wire. The full interview is only available for subscribers [link]; however, there is a segment released by Mrs. Owens where Donald Trump talks about the specifics of his position on the vaccine and the mandates.
President Trump supports the three vaccines that were developed during his administration, and is proud of the system he put into place to develop them and get them available to the public. However, President Trump does not support mandating the vaccine or forced vaccination for anyone, and believes that people should have the freedom to decide what is in their individual best interests.

At approximately 05:10 of the interview, President Trump notes the specific issue of a government mandated vaccine developed by a private corporation, and the risk of corruption and conflicted interests involved. President Trump accepts that reasonable people would be skeptical of the vaccine itself and would have personal reasons not to participate.
Toward the very end of the interview Trump states he is proud of the accomplishment and will not “give up” on his belief of the vaccine development as a success during his administration. However, he sees the forced mandate as very detrimental to the economy and views the consequences of the mandate itself as a problem for national security.
Given the range of opinions on the issue of the vaccines overall, and the mandate specifically, President Trump’s position seems quite pragmatic and reasonable. He’s proud to have developed the vaccines, believes they are of benefit, but strongly respects individual choice, liberty and the freedom to decide for yourself and your family. I don’t see anything controversial in this position.
He lied. Said people arent dieing who got the vax.
“ He lied. Said people arent dieing who got the vax.”
Love him but he is beyond tone deaf, he is ignorant on this issue. And deaf to the boos in the crowd.
Fauci agrees with you, Mr Trump.
May be that initially the vaccine was protective. However, the virus it protected against has been mutated out of existence.
One thing that bothers me is that it would seem impossible to mass produce the vaccine that has so many critical components that have to fit together, without compromising the integrity, the unbelievable intricate complexity of the final product. I have seen videos of the production; not much different than mass producing cokes. It is hard for me to believe that a safe dose is produced without fail each time the vial is sealed and refrigerated at the extreme temperature.
Yeah I got issues with him on this, this is critical and he is embracing the Deep State...Have to remember he was a Democrat till just before he ran for President..
DJT, Correct as usual. Especially if you’re fat or old.
“Too bad. I use to trust him.”
******************************
You don’t believe in freedom to choose whether to receive the vaccinations?
I know, everything has a mortality rate. Peanuts, salt, water, dirt, hot dogs. How I interact with these things depends on my risk profile.
For most of my life, I have gotten to develop and manage my own risk profile.
But then this vax comes in, and all of a sudden, I have a guy that craps his pants and low IQ mayors that think they can reach in and dork with my profile!
Pisses me off!
He lost me before COVID..on Assange, and Syria.
Encouraging the mRNA vax.
His, “Come to DC on January 6th. It’s gonna be wild.”
Also, his abandoning the poor dupes who went to DC.
“The debate has always been freedom of choice on the matter.”
It should be, but there’s a pretty sizable faction that instantly become Never Trumpers because he expresses an opinion about the vaccine(s) that they don’t agree with (notwithstanding that he expressly opposes vaccine mandates).
Covid vaccines are becoming the litmus test for some conservatives just like abortion is for Dems. The mob is coming for anyone who doesn’t believe Covid vaccines are poison.
I dont believe the vaccine “is the greatest achievement of mankind”. Much less even safe or effective.

But do you believe, as Trump does, that I and others should have the freedom to voluntarily choose the vaccinations just as you should have the freedom to choose not to get them?
The poisons called COVID vaccines are destructive and supporting them endangers people’s health.
They are poisons.
Yes, anyone should have the freedom to get the vax.
When seatbelts are viewed as a good thing that is necessary to save lives, seatbelts are mandated.
The first thing invariably leads to the second thing.
When the poisons called COVID vaccines are characterized as a good thing that is necessary to save lives, the poisons called COVID vaccines are mandated.
The first thing invariably leads to the second thing.
Thank you and thank President Trump for that freedom and option.
Yep. All the QAnons will become never Trumpers - they will spend the next few years trying to discourage anyone from voting for any Republican.
Reminds me of what blindly following the Bush clown posse got us.
