He didn't walk a tightrope though. There were hundreds of ways he could have answered the question about whether he thought people should take the vaccine if he was trying to navigate between a rock and hard place. Look at how clever he was answering if he would run in 2024. That didn't happen here. He never attempted to give an answer that made it look like he was pro vaccine, but still leaving wiggle room to interpret his words. Trump was fully, 100% in support of the vaccine, and said so directly. He never even attempted to straddle a line.

This article, just like every other article I've seen, ignores that elephant in the room. The facts simply do not support any conclusion other than Trump was 100% pro vax, but believed it was our choice if we didn't want it. As unpalatable as that is, it is the truth.
