Trump's stirring vaccine defense: Ex-president says most Americans dying or hospitalized because of COVID are unvaccinated, encourages everyone to get the shot and brands it 'one of the greatest achievements of mankind'

Donald Trump said Wednesday that people unvaccinated against coronavirus are the ones getting 'very sick' as he pushed back against conservative Candace Owens by claiming all Americans should get the jab while he again took credit for its creation.

'I came up with a vaccine – with three vaccines,' Trump told the Daily Wire host, referring to the development of the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines while he was still president. 'All are very, very good. Came up with three of them in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.'

It’s not insane at all to trust science.

I trust the science and have faith that God will protect me from the worldwide liberal plot to make me magnetic or whatever.

But I am against mandates in any form.

Not sure how you figure it in this context. He’s not suggesting, and has never suggested that I have seen, vaccine mandates. He wasn’t pro lockdown. Trump did many conservative things “conservative” presidents didn’t do. His chief problem was being unable to control his mouth. He may be overstating his case that he created these vaccines but operation warp speed was significant and secured supplies. Many Americans are just choosing not to vaccinate. I am not sure how I feel about getting a booster but I got my Moderna shots early this year.

Yes, the vaccines are a great achievement, and Trump should be proud that they were developed so quickly.

Too bad they don't work.

Too bad they may be fatal to some people.

But other than those caveats, great achievement! /s

Undercuts the White Hospice completely.

"See, I'd have had this thing beaten by now, but they stole this election just so they could keep you afraid."

I'm hardcore anti-vax but as a 2021 thing, no problem with this approach at all, as it is the stated GOP policy. He can now campaign in 2022 with MAGA candidates and use the Youngkin Strategy with less-MAGA candidates. If 2022 is another 2010, then Trump's restoration to the White House in 2024 is a fait accompli.

That is the statistic that carries the day. Unfortunately, people have to wonder just how valid it really is, since so many stats turn out to be massaged.


Statistics is the mathematical art of using numbers to find what one wants found or to create what one wants to create ; any similarity to reality is purely coincidental.

As long as he's not for mandates it's ok with me.

For what it’s worth, the injections do cause a reaction; they likely have an effect. But the effects are so scatter shot that not everyone has benefits, and some have horrible negative effects.
But they are NOT vaccines, no matter the change of definition.

so here is my take on this. He is right about the vaccine but it is not being used properly. I was suppose to be used like a flu shot and given to those who are more likely to have an issue. Theraputics where suppose to be given to normal folks that if they got it, they would cut the severity. The problem is this became political and we now have this.

Right now 82% of the people with omicron are Vaccinated, why, becuase we are in the process of creating super bug. You watch how these start to affect the Vaccinated only and the unvaxxed who build up natural immunities over time will be fine.

Entire situation is insane if you ask me. someone need to call Bannon or Navarro and shut this down because by 2024, it will be apparent this was genocide IMO

In Maine, 27 of 62 recent deaths are “vaccinated.”

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich can be fatal to some people to, what’s your point?

Just as the fight is nearly won, DJT apparently plants his flag with the other side. Seems like he’s listening to entrenched government flacks. I’ll be patient and wait for clarification from him directly.

He’s entitled to his opinion. He’s agreeing that it’s voluntary and doesn’t support govt compelling it. At this point I don’t care what he thinks about it. What I think is that he got panicked and suckered onto the bandwagon by the “experts” when he was in charge. It was a messy situation. He has a little to be humble about, but humility isn’t one of his strengths.

“I believe in the science, but am adamantly against mandates to force people to take it or force business closings etc.”

Same here, thankful Trump provided the option of getting the vaccine or not, he never mandated them.

Trump is wrong on this. Most of the people died because they were denied or not offered the hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin cocktails.

Well you were wrong...because his policies were the most Conservative that I have seen in my lifetime with any President... Were you absent during his Administration?

“Trump is right. 85-90 of the covid deaths are the unvaxxinated.”

BS. You are no authority on the matter.

If he could contain his ego, they would have been talking about changing the rules for him to run again.

But that is never going to happen.

And he will be almost 80 in 2024. Just what the world needs…another fossil trying to run things.
