Donald Trump should again tell people to get vaccinated for COVID

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The COVID-19 crisis isn’t over. On July 18, 2021 former president Donald Trump made another self-serving political statement:

 

 “Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration. He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth.”

 

If he instead was thinking about what would be good for the country (and showing real leadership), he would again have told supporters to get vaccinated. Today there also was an article by Chris Cillizza at CNN titled Donald Trump’s latest dangerous vaccine pronouncement with similar opinions.

 

An article by Kathy Frankovic at YouGov America on June 29, 2021 titled Boosting the COVID-19 vaccination rate: could Donald Trump make a difference? discussed results from their polls:

 

“One consistent finding of the Economist/YouGov polls is that those who reject the COVID-19 vaccine have more confidence and trust in medical advice from the former president (53%) than in the advice of current president Joe Biden (7%), his chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci (9%), or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (11%). A majority of vaccine rejectors trust President Trump’s advice, while majorities of them distrust the advice of others asked about in the poll.”

 

Back on March 17, 2021 there was an article by David Jackson at USA Today titled ‘It’s a great vaccine’: Donald trump recommends supporters get COVID-19 vaccine as polls show hesitancy.
