Trump Got Vaccinated Against 'Hoax Virus' In January And Didn't Tell Anyone
While Trump continued to downplay the COVID pandemic, he managed to sneak himself and his wife the vaccine.
By Red Painter


It appears that the Former Guy and his current wife got the COVID hoax vaccine shot in January in secret, even as he was publicly downplaying the threat of the virus for the 12th straight month.

Ari Melber pointed out an interesting little twist that many may have overlooked. While others in leadership roles acted like real leaders - Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Mike Pence - Donald Trump chose to hide. He chose to be a coward. He chose to only focus on HIMSELF. He intentionally kept his vaccination secret. Was he afraid of looking weak? Was he terrified that his base would turn on him if he gave the Hoax legitimacy? Who knows.

"MAGA fans also erected a golden idol to their ex-president, who's back in the news as word came for the first time today about how Donald Trump got vaccinated. Turns out the president was quick to get one of the earliest possible vaccines, in January, which is what the experts advised for top government officials. But nobody actually knew at the time because he did so, oddly, in secret. so while the new President and the new Vice President as well as Donald Trump's own Vice President all stepped up to their vaccinations as a chance to lead in public on a critical public health priority to show everyone it's safe, to encourage others to get vaccinated,

Well, now we know officially Donald Trump was M.I.A., taking the vaccine, but only for his own safety and blowing a chance to lead on public education."

As his term was winding down, the Former Guy blew one of his last chances to put the country first, to do the right thing, to act as a leader. He left as he came in - a selfish, dumb, shameless narcissist who cared nothing about anyone but himself.

Good riddance, Former Guy.

politicians across the country did including, governors and state legislators, many of them claimed the pandemic was a hoax. DeSantis surely did and hid vaccines for his inner circle.

circle also got vaccinated in January.

I wonder if those recipients of Trump's largesse had to offer anything in return for their vaccinations—campaign donations, loyalty oath, their first-born child . . . ?

Trump got the vaccine and didn't advertise it because he didn't want to look weak. He could have been pushing this and helped his cult followers be more receptive, this cost lives.

who is 50 years old (and arguably an illegal alien) and has no co-morbidities I know of qualify for a vaccine millions of more deserving citizens are unable to get?

lol, yeah I know...

He would have filmed a PSA with Biden, Obama, Clinton, Shrub and Carter urging vaccinations.

Just like he should have brought in ALL former POTUS in February of 2020 to announce the dangers of the Virus and make a public plea to ALL Americans to mask up and shelter in place when possible.

If he would have done that, he would have avoided ALL blame for the virus because he "Brought in" all sides of the table.

Thank God he's not smart.

My friend just had COVID and she was told it would be about 3-6 months before she could get the vaccine.


CDC:

If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
