Public health advocates are watching in growing alarm as former President Trump increasingly embraces the anti-vaccine movement.
“I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate,” Trump said in a recent campaign rally in Richmond, Va.
It’s a line Trump has repeated, and his campaign said he is only referring to school COVID-19 vaccine mandates — but that hasn’t eased fears that the GOP leader could accelerate already worrying trends of declining child vaccination.
Trump “is an important voice. He has a big platform. And he uses that platform, in this case, to do harm. Because he’s implying by saying that we shouldn’t mandate vaccines, vaccines are in some ways ineffective or unsafe,” said Paul Offit, a pediatrician and vaccine expert at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Yeah, and Dr. Birx confessed yesterday that she lied about CoVID to Trump when he was President.
Trump is a populist - now I’m for it, now I’m agin it, depending on the popular wind.
Biden mandated it.
Biden mandated the vaccine. Trump was out of the office January 20, 2021. Biden forced an experimental vaccine on the wider population. Trump did not.
Trump left office on January 20, 2021. Biden mandated the vaccine on the wider population. Trump did not.
Trump was out of office January 20, 2021. Biden mandated the experimental drug. Not Trump.
Trump did not mandate the vaccine. Your damn governor and POTUS did.
“...will definitely vote for him...”
Same here.
This Guy says he won New Jersey in 2020.
But for the Margin of Fraud.
The vaccine was made public but NOT mandated nationally. Biden mandated the vaccine on the Federal Level. Democrat Governors mandated the vaccines. Republican Governors did not.
Exactly. Take all the shots and boosters you want. Wear five masks. Whatever floats your boat.
Just don’t try to make us do that.
Don’t care.
I’m a one issue voter until we restore the republic.
And Trump is the only person running whose goal is to do that.
If we don’t succeed in restoring the republic, everything else is moot.
All true.
In fact, the Emergency Use Authorizations occurred on December 11 and December 18, 2020 when Trump was president.
Do you have a citation for that? I can’t find it.
Trump has not changed his position on the vax, or the mandates, or early treatment, or in observing that “it came from China”.
Trump’s opposition on the right and left are pretending to be unable to distinguish between Trump being opposed to mandates, and his taking credit for clearing away the red tape around the approvals for the mRNA vax. It appears to be working, at least on a subset of low-information voters.
Trump was never for the mandates. To say he was is not true. He did try to push Ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine first and took a lot of abuse for it.
“He did try to push Ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine first and took a lot of abuse for it.”
Had he persisted he would have saved millions of people from being murdered in the hospital killing fields.
Some regret, or even remorse, might be in order.
Trump’s admin implemented the killer hospital protocols and incentives, gave the EUA order that put all this under the military, took away all liability and disclosure, and removed all requirements for standard testing for safety.
Trump’s CDC made all sorts of dreadful “recommendations” that states and companies made policy by a matter of policy.
Then, long out of office, he kept promoting them despite all the evidence of death and dire harm that those around him kept bringing to him.
True, true, and true. 😔
He certainly did try. Trump didn’t concoct this thing. I am sure he trusted that a safe and effective vaccine was developed. It did not turn out that way.
I don’t fault him for that. I only get upset at him for being out of the loop on the harm these vaxes cause. He needs to acknowledge that he was lied to and misled on covid and the vaxes.
