A supporter of former President Donald Trump says she will not take the novel coronavirus vaccines because the former president was not personally involved in their creation.

In an interview with the Washington Post, an 80-year-old Trump voter from Oklahoma named Margaret says that she will not get the COVID-19 vaccine even though the first vaccines for the virus were announced in the final months of the Trump administration.

"He didn't develop the vaccine," she said in justifying her lack of trust in in the vaccine. "Scientists did it."

Margaret's comments are part of a larger story in the Post about diehard Trump supporters who are refusing to take any vaccines, which could jeopardize America's chances of achieving herd immunity and ending the pandemic that so far has killed 525,000 Americans.

7. They can choose to get infected if they want,

but what concerns me is the innocent people they may infect, and also they will take up precious hospital resources that could otherwise go to someone who tried to avoid getting the virus.

I’m not sure if it’s due to age, trump derangement or lack of education but it’s just sad.

One more vaccine for someone who will appreciate it.

It occurred to me that the orange monster having a hand in anything - especially something that takes brains, education, and hard work - would make it bad, unworkable, and downright toxic.
