Former President Donald Trump was booed by his own supporters during a rally in Cullman, Alabama Saturday night after he encouraged the crowd to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good," he said, drawing loud boos from the crowd of supporters.
"That's okay, that's alright," Trump continued, brushing off the disapproval. "But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that."
A growing number of Republican leaders have urged voters to get the coronavirus vaccine as the highly contagious Delta variant sweeps through most parts of the U.S., driving up cases, deaths and hospitalizations in a new phase of the pandemic.

If Trump came out and said don’t get the shot, I’ll bet your comment would be a lot different.
Me too and I didn't notice any booing. Maybe Newsweek's plants weren't close enough?
“ So what if he was booed about the damn vaccine Trump KNOWS how we feel about the stinking mandates AND the damned shots DON’T WORK!!!”
**************************************************************
I guess it completely escapes you that Trump was explicitly saying you have freedom to decide. He does not believe in MANDATES. His Warp Speed effort created the vaccine(s). Many of us have chosen vaccination and some have chosen to not be vaccinated. And that’s OK.
A small subset of those who have chosen not to be vaccinated have chosen to engage in jihad against those vaccines. And their jihad includes warring against the vaccine developers, medical people who advocate for the vaccines, individuals who have taken the vaccines and also includes booing President Trump. Their jihad includes posting endless misinformation about the vaccines and intense dislike of anyone who points out that misinformation.
Why? All he did was encourage people to get the shot - but he also said he believes in their freedom 100%. He was NOT suggestig the shots be mandated, he was simply encouraging people to get vaccinated. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
That “booing” was meant for the VACCINE...NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Can’t wait till the next rally when President Trump tells us that ALL THE FAKE NEWS GOT OUT OF THE ALABAMA RALLY WAS A WEAK, SOFT BOOING FROM HIS ADORING FANS.
He is so right to call the media “FAKE NEWS.”
I would have booed too. He needs to wake up on this topic.
Btw, I never seen crazy lewislynn post in a prayer thread for President Trump like I often have.Links?
I'd be worried about what you're praying for.
Maybe I don't believe in "prayer threads"
I don't need someone else to start a "prayer thread" before I decide to say a prayer. Maybe you do.
Anyone who doesn't agree with him or exposes his phony intent is "crazy".
I would have too. The shots are the one thing I will never agree with him on. And if, according to the left, Trump followers are supposed to be so besotted with him, that they consider us a cult, then why are so many of us against getting the experimental drugs? It's because we aren't mind-numbed robots like the left is.
Newsweek...famous for spiking Michael Isikoff’s article on the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. Hard to believe it was 23 years ago. I remember when the story broke on The Drudge Report. And then a bunch of us from FR went to Washington, D.C. to attend a dinner for The House Managers who ran Clinton’s Impeachment Hearing.
Yes. I did not even cousin on this BS until reading it here. Lies
+1
Also, notice a few seconds later in the speech he says new variants are coming and things that are worse than the variants.
Remember, he know a lot of things that have not been made public.
Well said.
Thank you for saying that!
***To those of you who agree with the booing!......How dare you!....How shameful you are!.....President Trump fought to give us an option for the China Virus!....
He has ALWAYS been for freedom of choice!
Always!
He stands between us and tyranny.
He works hard on our behalf. BECAUSE he loves us and he loves America!***
Take the free vaccine or don’t take it.....YOU HAVE A CHOICE!
The British AstroZeneca and the Russian Sputnik vaccine use an older adenovirus technique that has been used for Ebola vaccine.
And the Chinese Sinovax uses a century old vaccine technology that uses a weakened virus but hasn't stopped epidemics where It was widely used.
I got the AZ vaccine here in the Rural Philippines, but they only are giving it to caregivers and the elderly. But our young employees got the Chinese vaccine
As for masks etc. Right now Japan is having a major outbreak. So much for obedient folks using masks and staying home
No, it shows how much he believes in our freedom - that he personally trusts the vaccines, but he wouldn’t make them mandatory.
He probably doesn’t own a gun, but he fiercely defends the second amendment. How is this any different?
Shame on you.
Trump’s greatest strength is that he is honest - he doesn’t say what the audience wants to hear - he says what he thinks.
That same audience will love him all the more for it - INCLUDING the ones that booed the vaccines.
Besides, every Trump supporter there heard him say something loud and clear that was far more important than the vaccine: He would never support making it mandatory.
It also shows that he is starting to think what most of us already know...the vaccine doesn’t work and actually makes you more susceptible to other variants. My step mother 65 was vaccinated 5 weeks ago she has diabetes and thought she was in the high risk category. Today she is on a ventilator for wait for it.... wait for it... COVID.
