Donald Trump Pushes COVID-19 Vaccine, Says He is 'Very Proud' of It

Former President Donald Trump says that he is "very proud" of the COVID-19 vaccine and would "love" to see more people get vaccinated.

Trump boasted that he had purchased "billions and billions of dollars" worth of vaccine doses in advance while serving as president and gently urged his followers to take the vaccine during a Wednesday interview on Newsmax TV's Greg Kelly Tonight.

The former president said that the vaccine had prevented the COVID-19 pandemic death toll, which currently stands at over 4.3 million worldwide, from matching the even worse toll of up to 100 million people who died during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 to 1920.

"I'm very proud of the vaccine," Trump told host Greg Kelly. "I've taken it, you've... probably taken it. But I'm very proud of it. I think we could have another situation with the Spanish Flu, 1917 [sic], where up to 100 million people were killed."

"I bought billions and billions of dollars of the vaccine and that's why we've been taking it for a long time now," added Trump. "Without that we really would have a big problem. And I do believe people have to have their freedoms and all that but, you know, I'd love to see them take the vaccine."

Yes thank you President Trump. The under 50 set didn’t and doesn’t really need it, but what a lifesaver for the senior citizens. Trump was amazing—he literally saved the whole world from Covid death.

The Donald doth brag too much. It appears there are many unexpected consequences of these vaccines.

Good for Trump. He won’t let the Rats/media have it both ways, promoting the vaccine and attacking Trump supporters.

Pushing a dangerous experimental vaccine that is now being used to enslave everyone is not a moment that Trump should be proud of. Another is the one that he started using the CDC to do illegal eviction bans. Not moments to be proud of at all.

In the same interview, DJT also emphasized that taking it should be voluntary.

Headline:

Donald Trump Pushes VOLUNTARY Nature of Medical Treatments.

Healthy people under the age of 50 didn’t need to be human guinea pigs-and their immunity should they have had it, would have been broader.

Clearly the President knows these were nothing more than a ‘circuit-breaker’ to prevent our ccu’s from being overwhelmed, depending on who you believe, they failed to even do THAT.

Hardly merits the word “vaccine”, but Trump is playing the long game, knowing this virus is an endemic not a pandemic, and will have been subsumed into “just another bug” by 2024.

It would be foolish for him to take an anti-vaccine stance NOW, with 61% US having received at least one dose.

“I think he should shut up about this.”

Nah. Let him talk. Who TF are you to tell 45 to shut up? I dont wanna read nor hear about killer fake “vaccines” either but if there’s one person who gets a pass, it’s him. I’ve been reading about those assholes on the left every damn day and if Trump says a meteor will hit the earth tomorrow, so be it.

In the end these vaccines will be proven at best to be useless and at worst to be very deadly.

They provide only limited protection, if any, and eventually they will be completely ineffective.

IMHO they are prolonging the pandemic and making the situation uncontrollable.

Natural Immunity is what we should have aimed for. Treatment options were taken off the table from the outset to push this experiment and make billionaires out of pharmaceutical executives.
