Former President Donald Trump says he received a booster vaccine shot for Covid-19 — but he doesn’t want to hear any criticism about it.
“Oh, don’t, don’t, don’t!” said Trump, waving his hand dismissively, as some people in an audience in Dallas on Sunday afternoon seemed to react negatively to the Republican saying he got the booster....
...Trump also said during the same show, “We saved tens of millions worldwide by creating the vaccine.”
“It would have been like the Spanish flu without it. … We should take credit for it, and you play right into their hands” when you question the vaccine’s value, he added....

Booooo!
Is he demanding everyone else do it, or is he leaving it as a matter of personal choice?
That is the true issue, and should have been clarified in the FIRST SENTENCE, if not in the HEADLINE.

Lip service to personal choice, said as an afterthought, a throwaway line, no heart in it.
Yup. Doubters should look at UK’s CFR before and after vacc’s, and compare to poorly vacc’d countries like Romania...
That said, the vacc’s are just one tool.
Yeah, I agree that he needs to stand up to the work he did to get the shit together when the commies were trying to bury him about their Wu-Flu. It sucks, but he has to stick with it due to circumstances. I’m not onboard for fake and dangerous “vaccines”, but he has a message he needs to control around this whether he likes it or not. Politics is still politics.
The Left is trying really really hard to separate Trump from his base
This makes probably 6 or 7 pieces from the Leftwing media I’ve seen today
Please don’t take the bait
A fair point, but Pres. Trump has MANY times said the jabs should be entirely voluntary. Which is absolutely correct.
He specifically said it should be a person’s choice. He can take them all day long for all I care as long as he is against mandates. Long before Trump came in the picture I have known the CDC and all these government health agencies are corrupt. Trump wasn’t even in the picture when I made my decision not to take a flu shot or anything at all from these entities DECADES AGO. I know way more Trump voters that took the crap than didn’t. In fact most rushed out and got jabbed immediately in spite of the fact THEY KNEW IT WAS UNTESTED IN ANY WAY. I don’t know how anyone can blame someone else for that kind of stupidity.
Why does he keep throwing a wet blanket on his base? Does he want to lose what seems like an unlosable election in 24? Sorry, but Desantis increasingly is more appealing to me. Won’t allow anyone in Florida to lose their job for refusing to take a risky vaccine. Does Trump even know about vaccine injuries? Does he speak about them? His gigantic pride won’t allow him to say anything but: I helped paved the way for the vaccine so it’s one of the greatest creations in the history of man. …
But it’s not! Also notice O’Reilly waving off the boos of the crowd. A pretend man of the people.
*** The Left is trying really really hard to separate Trump from his base.***
The Left didn’t separate me from Trump. His own actions on Assange, Syria, and abandoning the January 6th protestors did.
“Please don’t take the bait”
Like a bunch of flies to a pile of cow dung.
Trump showed the way but it’s up to us now to lead the fight to maintain freedom. He should know better at this point but he’s losing discipline and focus.
it is true. In his vaccine Executive Order he stated vaccines are to be at CDC levels. That they were too low (around 47% in U.S) and should be over 90%. I do not ever see that happening without mandates or worse.
Hes is a high risk group. Why shouldn’t he get it?
The way Trump paused and then said that he had received the booster—and then O’Reilly followed suit—made me doubt that either had actually done so.
Trump hasn’t changed his view. He made vaccines and monoclonals available. Two choices from the start. Trump highly recommends MAGA people get the vaccine of their choice (and recommends boosters for the at risk). But barring that, having walked the talk, don’t be shy, run for monoclonals, the second highest efficacy of protection available, and don’t waste time.
If Republicans are really the least vaccinated group as some lefty media brag, well, no Republican wants fellow Republicans suffocating to death or coming out the other side with organ or neurological damage unnecessarily when at least some level of protection is available to them.
Pro-vaccines have always been a republican plank. And until this pandemic, antivax has always been the far left fringe led by the same profiteers that have crossed over to the right wing trying to capitalize off a larger audience by branding themselves as psuedo rightwing crusaders, ex. JFK,Jr. among many. People that headline say, 1/100K myocardiac incidents for vaccines, buy my book, but never tell you about the 343/100K from covid itself.
