Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said on Sunday that a lack of clear guidance from the Biden administration could undermine its effort to have Americans take COVID-19 vaccine booster shots.
During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Hogan was asked to “give some advice” to President Joe Biden’s pandemic response team on the issue of extra doses of vaccine against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Specifically, he was asked about how should they talk to “Trump folks,” or supporters of former President Donald Trump, many whom are skeptical about the vaccine and unlikely to receive the booster shot.
“I don’t think it’s just about the Trump folks,” Hogan said, adding that he is being as critical towards the Biden administration over the handling of the pandemic as he has been toward the Trump administration.
“I mean, we’re getting some mixed messaging out of the administration, out of the CDC, the FDA, and the White House,” he continued. “And, you know, we need clear guidance on these booster shots because it undermines the credibility of it.”
Hogan noted that there people are confused about who should get which COVID-19 booster shot due to mixed messages from health officials and the White House. The Biden administration had initially said that those who had received both doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine could begin having their third dose in the week of Sept. 20. Earlier this week, however, heads of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reportedly told the White House they may be able to recommend boosters for only some recipients of the Pfizer vaccine.
“I guess they slipped and pre-leaked an announcement about booster shots with all three vaccines and then had to backtrack it and say you can only use Pfizer,” Hogan said. “What about the people that took J&J? What about the people that took Moderna? They haven’t messaged properly about how to take care of these breakthrough infections.”
Hogan’s comments come after Trump said he will “probably not” get a COVID-19 booster shot. Trump contracted the CCP virus in October 2020 and briefly left the White House for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he quickly recovered from mild COVID-19 symptoms.
“I feel like I’m in good shape from that standpoint—I probably won’t,” Trump, who received a vaccination shot before leaving the White House this year, said in an interview with Wall Street Journal. “I’ll look at stuff later on. I’m not against it, but it’s probably not for me.”
MD ping!
When did Americans loose their right to voice an opinion?
Time to stand up against tyranny.
The booster shot is nothing more the Biden administration trying to develop his own signature resolution to the Covid-19 pandemic. The administration knows that the original vaccines for Covid-19 were developed under Trump’s directions, and Biden’s part was just to finish the job that Trump started.
No matter what Biden has done up till now, he is just following in Trump’s steps. Thus, he is looking to take part of the credit for ending the pandemic (if it ever does), and just administering Trump’s vaccines is not credit enough. Following in Trump’s shadow feels undignified to him and his administration.
Improved version:
Biden’s part was just to finish the jab that Trump started
There is already a timetable for ending:
December 31, 2021 — FDA revokes approval of the vaunted PCR test.
“Cases” drop dramatically.
TSA subsequently drops the tranportation mask mandate (currently in effect through January 13).
Buy-DUNG declares at his first (and G-d willing, ONLY) SOTU address “I have conquered COVID!”
Trump isn’t in office so how is it anything to do with Trump folks. I think it’s the Hogan folks. First it was booster in 8 months, then 6 months, then 5 months, back to 8 months, now just immune compromised and older, or maybe all, you guys are all over the place.
Say their names. If you don't say their name then you ain't black!
STFULH.
Still not gettin’ it.
Nobody out my way pays the least attention to anything Lardass Lockdown Larry says.
Keeping Fauci on as the face of the COVID response is not how you try to get people to be confident in the accuracy of your messaging.
Hogan the TDS afflicted RINO is hardly an expert on talking to “Trump folks”
Except talking down to them.
““I don’t think it’s just about the Trump folks,” Hogan said”
This clown FINALLY gets something right. It was a subset of Trump supporters and a subset of blacks who were NEVER going to get the vaccine, and would go to jail if necessary to avoid having to vaccinate.
But, at this point, with Fauchi saying we all need shots every 5 months for life, I suspect a lot of people who’ve had the shots are starting to wonder just what’s going on here - after all, how many other ‘vaccines’ require 5-months shots?
Someone forgot to tell Lockdown Larry that he’s less popular with Republicans than he is democrats, and they won’t crossover to support him.
Oh, NOW our NeverTrumper RINO governor is criticizing Biden.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
