Was this today? As in, he said this, again?
Or, is this from a few weeks ago?
Sorry, DJT - I said I wasn’t taking it when you announced it was coming in August 2020, you’re not THAT good of a salesman.
They should have made a traditional vaccine, not this FrankenVaxx gene therapy - that they also will be giving little kids now.
Only the fearful early adopters wanted it. Never take version 1.0 of anything, especially if it get injected I to you body.
All who want the jab should get it. Simple — just no mandate.
The whole purpose of this was to protect the vulnerable. It was never intended to be given to everyone once they discovered the low death rate for the young and healthy....and those of us oldsters who never take vaccines.
This only proves that Trump has his head so far buried in his own ass, they will never get it pulled out.
Nope then, nope now, nope tomorrow. We believe the virus is real but have ZERO trust in the stab. Efficacy and safety are lacking. Especially with such a high survivability number. Our bodies, our choice.
Were Trump in the White House now, it would NOT be pushing mandates now. Trump’s attitude would certainly be like that of Governor DeSantis. Yes, vaccinations for all who VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE them. Make treatments readily available for those who need them. Open businesses. No mandatory masking of schoolchildren. If parents want their child to wear a mask, then that would be OK for THEIR child.
They never did get a Vaccine they got this poison
I like Trump for the most part, but it seems this one issue trips him up again and again — he assumes that most people want the best solution. Technically, that may be true, but of those in power, almost none.
The thing I don’t trust is the vaccine, I do not care who tells me it’s safe.
If Trump pushed the vackseen, I still would not take it. Many other Freepers agree with me. Also, there would be considerable opposition from the Rats.
It didn’t appeal to my rational side from the beginning and whether Trump or Biden tell us to get it- I knew it wasn’t right for me. Of course I can change my mind, but nothing I’ve learned in the last 18 months has persuaded me this would be the best decision.
Trump is in a bind. There was a lot he didn’t know - like most of us- and relied on the madman Fauci and assorted advisors. He brags about its speedy development while many of us have concluded that’s part of the problem. For him to back off supporting it now - in his thinking- undermine what he may still believe was a great accomplishment.
It is sort of ironic that late last summer & fall, the talk show chatter was the nay sayers saying Trump would never meet his end of September, by Election Day and end of year stated deadlines. There was a lot of defense in favor of Trump and the vaxes at that time and little on the anti-vax pushback. That pushback became louder when the administrations changed. And again shortly after the initial rollout. And as Biden started sounding victorious about the rollout success, it suddenly seemed there was a full out assault to dampen further demand.
I think it’s great that President Trump is saying this stuff - scoring political points on the fact that Biden is forcing people to take an unpopular vaccination against their will.
But what is REALLY going on has nothing to do with trust or salesmanship - what is really going on is that a year and-a-half has gone by and we know a lot more now than we did then:
We know now that Covid did not turn out to be the raging deadly pandemic that was predicted at first. Even if you believe the puffed up government morbidity rates, it just never came anywhere close to the worst case scenarios they were touting at the beginning.
We know now that if you are reasonably healthy you will get cold symptoms - if that. Most people just aren’t afraid of catching Covid19.
We know now that the vaccines aren’t working - even with boosters they don’t stop you from catching it or spreading it.
We know now that if you caught Covid you would have far better and longer lasting immunity than whatever the vaccines promise.
President Trump was facing a truly fearsome prospect: a deadly pandemic on par with the Spanish flu. He was absolutely right to take it seriously and fast track vaccines.
A year-and-a-half later, Biden is using what’s left of the Covid nothing-burger to score political points and justify mail-in ballots and other government shenanigans - and President Trump is right to rub Biden’s face in it every chance he gets.
