Trump says he recommends COVID-19 vaccine: ‘It’s a great vaccine and it’s a safe vaccine’
Marketwatch ^ | 3/16/2021 | Mike Murphy

Posted on 03/16/2021 7:25:17 PM PDT by Alter Kaker

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday recommended the COVID-19 vaccine to his supporters, amid concerning recent polls showing Republicans are less likely to get vaccinated.

In a phone interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Trump said: “I would recommend [the vaccine]. And I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it, and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly.”

“And we have our freedoms and we have to live by that, and I agree with that also,” Trump added. “It’s a great vaccine and it’s a safe vaccine.”

In the interview, Trump also repeated lies that he lost the election fraudulently, and blamed the U.S. Supreme Court for not overturning the election results.

While Trump had told people to “get your shot” in a speech at CPAC last month, he did not participate in a public-service campaign that features all of the other living former presidents, and had noticeably been quiet about vaccinations. Trump and his wife, Melania, were vaccinated at the White House in January, though that was not disclosed at the time.

Recent polls have found Republicans, especially Trump supporters, are more skeptical of the coronavirus vaccines, leading to calls for Trump to endorse vaccinations.

If it proves that these vaccines are not what they seem, and people start dropping from this en masse, Trump will get the blame for “rushing” the vaccine into production, bullying pharma companies into releasing a faulty product. It will be called “The Trump Vaccine” by the media.

President Trump’s recommendation to take the TRUMP VACCINE won’t matter to the anti-vaccine cultists who are entangled by their delusions. TRUMP IS RIGHT!

Well, now that he has said this, if some pesky lib or leftist asks me if got the vax I will be sure to tell them that Trump said to get it so now I am suspicious just to get them off my back. This will work if they don’t know or suspect I voted for him.

I could add what Harris said a few months ago about not trusting any vax that Trump is for.

It’s not technically a vaccine no matter the spin and update on the definition

And we wouldn't have it now without Trump. A Hillary Clinton presidency would have seen no Operation Warpspeed to fund the incredibly fast development and testing for these vaccines, and no pressure on the FDA to provide emergency authorization for the vaccines.

Right, we believe you, it’s not a vaccine just like a 45 caliber round is not ammunition.

LOL - Yep, sounds like Trump wants to free up the vaccine for Deplorables who want it. What better way to get Leftists to not take the vaccine, and thereby free it up for his people!

He campaigned on slowing down the vaxing and being pro-life. Now it’s operation warp speed get-your-aborted-cell-line vaccines. Difficult to keep up.
