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.”

"Everyone is allowed to hold one wrong opinion.

Just one? I see people on here all the time with multiple wrong opinions. Not me of course. But people. And I don't look down on them. Much.

"How did we get to the point where public servants tell us what to do?"

"You take medical advice form politicians?"

It's either coercion or advice. Come down off of your high horse.
Your continued prevarication is obnoxious.

Trump surprisingly clueless on this issue. If he doesn’t get up to speed, he won’t stand a chance in 24.

Then what the fig was “Operation Warpspeed”, leading us to the “Trumpcines”?

[PatriotarchyQ]

Usually Trump has good judgment (like his business acumen in running his casinos and airline) - but I can’t be with him on this one.

“It’s either coercion or advice.”

And I said I reject both. Now I’ve said it twice. Not sure how that qualifies as a high horse to reject medical advice from non medical professionals.

You said you were tired, did you miss your nap?

[Rurudyne]

Yeah … no.

See, Trump is way better than any Democrat … but I still would not trust the government etc.

[TigersEye]

You’re not “rejecting both” you were stating both. More obnoxious prevarication.

[TigersEye]

You said you were tired, did you miss your nap?

Very cute. I said I was tired of your lying. Are you 10 years old?

[Lisbon1940]

There was nothing wrong with the idea of developing vaccines,but he should have done it slower.

“I can tell the difference, doesn’t mean I have to accept any of it”

Post 67. Your reading comprehension seems to dip if you miss your nappy.

[SmokingJoe]

Warpspeed had nothing to do with forcing people to take stuff that don't want to.
That's Dementia Joe's idea to help him steal elections. .

[TigersEye]

Out of context prevarication. You’re a liar by nature.

[El Cid]

No mandate is the only way.to go. Unless you live in a tyranny.
Make the case, sell all you want, but people need to be allowed to make their own decisions. Particularly with respect to injecting crap into your body.

Nonsense.

[proust]

I’d name call too if I lacked the ability to reason.

[Boardwalk]

Yup!
