"I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good," he said, drawing boos from the crowd of supporters. "That's okay, that's alright," Trump continued, brushing off the disapproval. "But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that." A growing number of Republican leaders have urged voters to get the coronavirus vaccine as the highly contagious Delta variant sweeps through most parts of the U.S., driving up cases, deaths and hospitalizations in a new phase of the pandemic. "These shots need to get in everybody's arm as rapidly as possible, or we're going to be back in a situation in the fall that we don't yearn for, that we went through last year," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said late July. "Ignore all of these other voices that are giving demonstrably bad advice." The new messaging marks a notable shift from the anti-COVID-19 lockdowns, masks and vaccine sentiment that has gripped much of the Republican Party since the start of the pandemic. Before the proliferation of the Delta variant—which now accounts for about 95 percent of the nation's cases—Republican skepticism of COVID-19 vaccines and the Biden administration's rollout grew so loud that some polls found almost 50 percent of GOP voters were unlikely to get vaccinated. But even as top Republicans joined the Biden administration in pushing the vaccine, other members of the GOP have continued to ignore or spread misinformation about its safety and efficacy. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was suspended from Twitter again earlier this month for spreading misinformation about the vaccine. Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama falsely claimed the vaccine was "untested" Saturday, after testing positive for COVID-19 a day earlier. Conservative personalities, including Fox News hosts, have widened the Red/Blue divide in vaccination rates by extending a platform to vaccine skeptics and criticizing vaccination mandates ordered by businesses as an infringement on individual freedoms. Most COVID-19 deaths in the country are now among unvaccinated people. So far, 170,406,785 Americans—or 51.3 percent of the total population—have received both doses of the vaccine and 200,947,556 have received at least one dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Newsweek reached out to Trump representatives for comment.

Helxig 45,427 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Too little too late Mr Dump! Weirdly enough though this is kinda a good thing... if he can lose the respect of his own supporters with such a 'controversial' statement, then it means he doesn't have a chance next time around. Go on Donald... sabbotage your own chances... please keep this up I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,845 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 These people are absurd. Even Trump claiming ownership over these vaccines won’t convince them that they aren’t mind control devices injected into them by the satanic pedophile liberal elite. Lmao Hospitals need to stop turning away cancer patients and people with unpreventable diseases and start turning away unvaccinated people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because conspiracy theories didn't stop when he stopped being President. They're convinced he's somehow being controlled or coerced. Or they feel he's turned his back on them.

Hey any support he loses is a win for the country and the world! I like that he's endorsing vaccines though. It's the perfect divider. It's not enough of a change to win over the people who don't support him, but it is enough of a change to lose some of the ones that do I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Like, no joking. Those people can seriously have a hard backfired reaction. Like the only person they trusted is now telling them to do the very things they fight against... They can leash out by having very twisted conspiracies and very distorted realities as beliefs system... That's no bueno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
