Trump Says He Wouldn’t Need COVID Vaccine Mandate: ‘I Would Convince People’

Former President Donald Trump says he would not mandate COVID-19 vaccines if he were still in office because he’d “sell it” to people to take voluntarily.
President Biden last month announced that most federal workers must get vaccinated or face losing their jobs and that companies with 100 or more employees must require shots or regular testing — drawing pushback from critics who accused him of overreach.
“I wouldn’t say to anybody, ‘You have to.’ But I would sell it. Look, I’m very proud of what we did with the vaccines,” Trump told political news host Bill O’Reilly in an interview that will air at 8 p.m. Monday on The First TV. “It was supposed to take five years and they said it wasn’t going to work. I did three vaccines in less than nine months and they do work, they work really well.”

Not screaming at the top of his lungs that the “vaccines” are depopulation shots is criminal given his complicity in getting them going.
And I feel the same way about just about every other pol now. THey are all pussyfooting around the real situation. Maybe Rand Paul is inching closest, but he’s still inching.

Liar. You’re trying to be snarky.
You succeeded too so you have one win in this exchange.
Other than that I guess all of my intellectual manhandling of you was done while half asleep. According to you. Who can’t be trusted.

Wasn’t Donald Trump also encouraging the use of all the alternative treatments too? The main thing he should have done last year was sideline Fauci.

It's about the science and the data.
The only people that seem to be out in front of this are Rand Paul and Ron Johnson (WI).
The rest of the Republican Herd are taking their cues from the Business Roundtable and the inside-the-beltway cocktail circuit.

Trump:
, I’m very proud...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Yes and your pride has severely blinded you. If an opponent wanted to take Trump out of the 2024 race he could really go after him on these vaccines and make him look really bad. And with every ignorant comment Trump made about these vaccines he would bury himself deeper and deeper. I’d guess the same idiot advisors are not showing him any of the ugly news concerning his operation warp speed vaccines.

What the hell is Trump doing talking to Bill O’Reilly anyway? I hear him on talk radio in his little clips and I can’t shut the radio off quick enough. O’Reilly is a complete imbecile.

Getting the vaccines is the lesser of two evils.
The bigger evil would have been to not develop the vaccines, thereby, (perhaps) allowing many millions more die of the disease.
The vaccines may not have been the perfect solution, but then, when it comes to diseases, there is no such thing as a 100% proof cure.

“The bigger evil would have been to not develop the vaccines, thereby, (perhaps) allowing many millions more die of the disease.”
That makes absolutely no sense at all, considering (1) they aren’t actual vaccines, and (2) the shots are more lethal than the Fauci Flu.

...if any or all of the vaccines turn out to be unhealthy, it won't be a good luck even promoting it
Getting a chance to live is not unhealthy, and it's not about having luck.
Though the vaccines may not be 100% effective, and certain people may end up with complications, it's still a lot better solution than doing nothing at all.

They REALLY backed this man into a corner with this BS.
It started jan 2019.
I have a question for him. Why is it a anti parasitical medication working so well against this virus?

That is correct and remember this?
Trump said at a presser that Big Pharma did not like him to well and that he might not be around for much longer?

I mistyped. I meant to say if the vaccine turns out to be unhealthy, it would not be a good look. You do know the conditional in English, right?

So true!

So, what are the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines?
The 'shots' may be lethal to a percentage of those who take it, but, not to the majority of those who do take it.
I'm against mandates and I'm against punishments to those who don't take it, but, if there is a solution that helps the majority of people, then, I'm for it.

It will always be NO for me. Even though I do like you as a president.

Trump blew this.
His rush in developing a vaccine was very bad and makes him responsible. Biden and the Democrats are also responsible for this mess.
Taking the vaccine should be a choice.
