Trump calls politicians who refuse to say they received Covid boosters 'gutless'
NBC News ^ | 1/12/2022 | Rebecca Shabad and Marc Caputo

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized politicians who refuse to say whether they’ve received a Covid booster shot.

In an interview with far-right cable channel One America News, Trump said he received the booster and has seen politicians get asked in interviews whether they’ve also gotten a third shot.

“They don’t want to say it because they’re gutless,” Trump said. “You gotta say it, whether you had it or not. Say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccines saved tens of millions throughout the world. I’ve had absolutely no side effects.”

Trump said that the Covid vaccine largely prevents people from being hospitalized or dying from the disease.

“If they get it, they’re not going to hospitals for the most part and dying,” Trump said. “Before it was a horror, and now they’re not.”

He’s got a few days to turn his attitude around. That’s it.

The more he brags about the notavax the less enthusiastic I am about him running again.

They had these ready to go, he did not create them, he needs to stop taking credit.

You should eat crap. This is NBC creating division, and playing right into it. Get a brain, moron.

Trump is conflicted over Vaccines. Its likely that over time they will reveal increasing harm to many people, or at minimum, a broad lack of effectiveness.

Yet his “government” (to the extent that he had any control over it) in the hype of “pandemic,” brought them upon the American people.

Just talked to a covid response nurse today; her phone line is overwhelmed with vaxxed, boostered covid patients. She is about to lose her job for not boostering.

Hmmm....

Am I willing to set aside Trump's promoting something heavily attached to his name for the sake of his ego - versus the fact that I'm unvaccinated and grow weary of the BS they try to feed us?

Let's see - fantastic economy, tons of judicial appointments (those who actually run the dog and pony show), no reliance on foreign nations for our energy, very pro-life, telling it like he sees it and not afraid to take names.

Yes - I think I'll let him bloviate about vaccines and still vote for him.

I don’t see any alternative to Trump and frankly things are going to be so screwed up in two years at the rate we are going that anybody will have a very difficult time turning it around.

However, while I am not throwing him overboard like others are for what is obviously a heated subject I too wish he would shut up about vaccines. It is pretty obvious that he continues to form many of his opinions based on main-stream media who continue to cheer for vaccines. Trump’s base is not nearly as enthusiastic.

The vaccines failed. It was not Trump’s fault but there is NOBODY in Realsville who can call the vaccines a success at this point. Trump succeeded wildly in rolling them out but despite their initial success against the original variant and the fear they are not doing anything currently for the new variants and they are creating massive division and disruption in our nation.

Just my .02. Trump needs to be hammering economics and immigration instead of playing into the Covid hysteria.

It seems that Trump is working extra hard to avoid being the Republican nominee.

That is a true statement. But it is also true they have caused a lot of problems maybe just as much. Each and every one of us is unique in our genetics, history, environment, nutrition, medications.

The real issue is the mandates.

I agree with the first sentence and good for him on the second sentence. But he already caught COVID-19 in 2020. He didn't need to be vaccinated - his immune system is already as primed as it can be to defend against a re-infection.

He seems determined to ride this issue into political oblivion.

He saved the country from President Hildabeast in 2016 and was a good president for four years, so we will have to appreciate what he did and move along.

I have been one of the biggest and most devoted fans of President Trump. But he is flushing his political career down the toilet by not becoming more aware of the current issues with the “vaccines”. They don’t work against the latest variants.

And yes, the media and the Democrats have figured out that this is his achilles heel. He is playing right into the Democrats hands... they are going to pivot and blame him for everything.
