Trump Says He Wouldn’t Need COVID Vaccine Mandate: ‘I Would Convince People’
New York Post ^ | October 18, 2021 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 10/18/2021 3:17:10 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.”

The only person in government who is somewhat persuasive in taking the vaccine, but only if you don’t have natural immunity, is Rand Paul. That is because he has been the one most vocal about calling out Fauci’s repeated lies.

Sorry Trump. Until you renounce these fake vaxes., I will not trust your judgment.

There is an ocean of data and information that can argue for and not for taking the shots.

The shots have an in-sample efficacy rate of 90%+. If people in the high-risk strike zone took shots, that seems eminently reasonable.

I also consider the absence of the usual 2-10 year clinical trial period the FDA requires - what happens if your left ear falls off in year 2.7? - to be a yellow flag, as well as the messenger RNA platform that has never been released on the citizens. Those facts also can be brandished reasonably to not take the shots.

I don't doubt that some people regret taking the shots, just like I don't doubt some people regret NOT taking the shots. Health is a personal matter, and what's good for one person isn't good for someone else.

I object to the force being imposed when the data are so utterly cloudy.

at the end of february 2021 current president biden disbanded former president trump’s “operation warp speed” and transferred all responsibilities to the “white house covid 19 response team”...

and in the process biden opened the border and proceeded to spread hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic”...

fauci, the cdc, the media, and the world health organization refuse to warn us about the dangers of biden’s actions...

we don’t know the ingredients of the experimental shots...

we only know what biden, fauci, the cdc, the fda, the world health organization, and the media want us to know...

everything changed after biden and the demonrats stole the 2020 election...

i refuse to trust hypocrites, liars, and thieves...

At this point, with lies from gov on one side and kooks spotting Sea Monkeys on the other the only way I would trust anything about the jab is if Christ himself appeared and reassured me.

Government, once-trusted medical authorities, the MSM, politicians, pundits et,al have all beclowned themselves :-/

Something strange is going on but the water has been muddied to the point you can’t figure it out.

Only recommend I can give is if you get symptoms then get antibody infusion IMMEDIATELY.

And there are prophylactics you can take and they might be helpful...but again the water has been muddied :-/

The focus should have been on preventatives and treatments instead of vaccines. COVID, like the common cold and flu, cannot be eradicated. It mutates, and we will always be chasing our tails. The only winner in this vaccine fiasco is Big Pharma.

Scolding doesn’t work.

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, something which bold, anonymous York Dispatch Editoral Board fails to grasp:

This was always his Achilles heel, his overestimation of his power of persuasion.

It’s not even a discussion until ALL vaccine liability immunity is removed.

This is like removing Takata from ALL legal and financial liability and requiring their defective airbags in every vehicle.

( except for the vehicles driven by congress”persons” and their staff, and the same for White House staff, and for vehicles driven by postal workers, and vehicles used to transport newly acquired sex trafficking victims encouraged to cross the border ILLEGALLY,)

....but I digress.

Defective air bags for thee but not for me.

“ I still support him. I don’t worship him though.”
***************************************************
I suspect there are none of his supporters who “worship” him. I support him just as I support Governor DeSantis who has pretty much the identical approach to COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccinations.

As much as I love Trump, there is nothing I would do simply because he told me to do it.

And his overestimation of the intelligence of most people in this country.

President Trump is not killing anybody, unless you are Al Baghdadi or Suleimani and the other ISIS terrorists of course.
President Trump can try to persuade people to take it, like he did when he was President.
That doesn't mean you gotta take it.

I hear you. We don’t really have good data.

Last I checked, Trump is not my doctor, nor my Rabbi. How did we get to the point where public servants tell us what to do?

He’s not telling anyone what to do.

He enabled it all and now is encouraging his followers to take it. Anything less than repenting and warning against the killings in process is being complicit.

Sorry.
