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 ?
My wife complained about being tired and having a bad headache most the past weekend, and couldn’t figure out why. Yesterday she casually mentions she got the Pfizer shot last week (she knows I am vehemently against taking it and didn’t support her taking it, though it is her choice). When I casually suggested her not feeling well over the weekend was likely a result of the shot, she had never thought about it. I asked her to make sure her affairs are in order before the second one.
Prayers to you and your wife. I have family and friends that took it as soon as it came out without doing any research at all. It’s so devastating.
