Trump said Vaccines are safe and they are wonderful. He also said that many people, especially his supporters, are hesitant to take the vaccine. He then said that there is such a thing as choice and he thinks it is very important people make their own choice.
We are all constantly scratching out heads asking why is he pushing vaccines. Why does he keep saying that they are safe?
Lets take a step back and ask ourselves what is the real important question?
Even before you ask whether the vaccine is safe whats the first question you need to ask?
"Is the vaccine necessary?"
Thats the real question, and if the answer is NO, then it does not matter if its safe or wonderful, we do not need to take it. Now go back to what Trump said and see what his answer to this question is?
He is clearly answering this question, and saying "No its not necessary". If he really wanted to push the vaccine, he would have said "If people dont take the vaccine many many people will die. Especially my supporters. I really implore everyone to take the vaccine"
So, can we stop agonising about this ?
I agree completely. I've been loudly telling this to my wife for the last month and she chose to get vaxxed anyway. I've also been going on about free speech and free choice for the last year, so who am I to tell her what to do.
So be it.
It's quite the dilema. I feel for you, and I respect your way of thinking - top to bottom.
Earlier today I was listening to this ( one of my absolute favorites and you have to listen to the entire message to understand) and it really put making a choice about the vax into perspective...

We can try to protect our family and friends but ultimately it is their choice. I pray your wife stays healthy and safe.
Thank you. I'll give it a listen tonight.
