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

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.”

I have never liked Pence, he was a poor choice, but how was he responsible? The vaccine was executive ordered mRNA Sept 2019. In that pandemic order it was ordered who the pandemic team would be (again, back in Sept). The only difference being that Collins did not wish to be the public face and put Fauci in. Collins is as bad or worse, so its irrelevant.

Yes, that’s a perfect example of what I was saying.
Just an accurate description.

Wow, you guys are really ripping Trump… big time. Many of us don’t buy the vax crap, but this was one of Trump’s legacy issues, right or wrong.

Given that, what’s he supposed to do? He’s effectively side-stepping the issue by saying it should be VOLUNTARY which is what he should do. Better yet, avoid it all together.

Full disclosure, the government will have to strap me down before I let these quacks shove a needle in my arm.

Wow. How long before the Vax = Death cult denounces Trump as being “a tool of Big Pharma”? Has Q been notified?? Inquiring minds demand answers!

Well at least you admit you’re attacking the person.

No sale here, but Trump would have more success convincing people just because he is not a lying a-hole like Biden.

Still, his warp speed vaccine program was a colossal mistake, almost as bad as Sessions and Barr. It was the perfect setup for the fascism we are now enduring.

More prevarication. You’re a word twister.

Did I mention that you’re tiresome? Wow! are you tiresome.

I said before, if you’re tired, take a nap. No need for you to get this excited.

Good point and I agree.

Most of the clunkers were pushed on him by Bush League Republican saboteurs like Reince Preibus.

I backed this man from the 2016 primaries, but he is killing people here.

Telling people that they should get vaccinate, is not the same as forcing them to do it, or mandating it.

If you get a sales pitch from anybody, and you don't like what they're selling, do you still think that you have to take the sale?

A sales pitch is not the same as killing people.

But, is there anything else that you don't like about what Trump did, or is it just the vaccine sales pitch?

I agree, it's not the same, but if any or all of the vaccines turn out to be unhealthy, it won't be a good luck even promoting it. You know if the vaccines turn out badly, the media will put all the blame on Trump.

Maybe. I’ve seen this before. My grandpa starts personally attacking people when he misses his nappy nap. I’m just trying to be helpful.

On this matter Trump is delusional. And it creeps me out.
