Trump tells supporters 'you're playing right into their hands' by doubting the COVID-19 vaccineFormer President Donald Trump urged his supporters on Sunday to get a booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine to protect themselves against the Omicron variant, telling them they're "playing right into their hands" by doubting the vaccines.
Sitting alongside former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly at a stadium in Dallas, Trump touted his administration's contribution towards developing the vaccines as part of Operation Warp Speed.
"Look, we did something that was historic," he said. "We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We, together, all of us, not me."
He went on to say that absent the vaccine, millions more people would have died of the virus. "I think this would have been the Spanish Flu of 1917, where up to 100 million people died," he said. "This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now."

"Don't, don't, don't": Trump lashes out after crowd boos him for getting COVID booster
Supporters of Donald Trump booed when the former president revealed that he'd received a booster shot on Sunday.
A largely unmasked crowd at the American Airlines Center in Dallas the final stop of Fox host Bill O'Reilly's "The History Tour" with the former president vocally pushed back at the news. During the appearance, Trump touted his implementation of Operation Warp Speed, the public-private partnership brokered last May to expedite the development, production, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines for every American.
"Look, we did something that was historic," Trump told the crowd. We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide when we together, all of us we got a vaccine done."

He then quickly added: "If you don't want to take [the shot], you shouldn't be forced to take it, no mandates."

He backed down that time by saying, "You've got your freedom." Looks like he's saying pretty much the same now about the booster.

The problem is--he was on Maria Bartiromo's show (IIRC) recently and said that boosters were a "scam" and he wouldn't be getting one. Drumpf's physician's opinion must have prevailed over his own. It would be a pretty simple case to make: Drumpf nearly died from his last go-around with Covid, and this time Regeneron probably won't save him.
