It sounds like Trump is now beginning to publicly cast some doubt on the vaccines. He's starting cautiously, by questioning the booster shots, but I suspect (hope) that he will be slowly ramping up the questioning and criticism going forward, from here on out.
He gave them billions to create a vaccine at 'warp speed'. He expected them to drop everything and put all their considerable expertise into creating a safe effective vaccine - mainly because the media and the left were screeching about useless therapeutics he was recommending.
That isn't what happened though. They seem to have pocketed that money and just used a vaccine they had been experimenting with for 20 years, which already had patents on, and which had failed to get approval for human use (mainly because the animals kept dying). This was a perfect opportunity for them. Shitload of money for nothing (so fraudulently) and finally get to use their gene therapy on people. When it goes pear shaped they can blame Trump and other politicians for rushing them. I do hope when they try that excuse it is pointed out that they rushed nothing, they fraudulently took the money and used a 20 year old experimental 'vaccine' they already had.
Trump seems to be taken advice here from others and not actually looking into the data himself here. I get he may be too busy, but ffs someone close to him must have checked VAERS and understand why people are refusing.
Also as I recall, he didn't have one of the 4 jabs the rest of us are expected to take. He had the ones beginning with R - can't remember their names and can't be arsed searching the spelling but it was something like Regernon or Remedsvir. Maybe they are safer? Nobody ever asks him which brand he and his family took. Maybe he assumes they are all the same.
I admit, even though I've heard all the reasons, I don't get him continually pimping the vax. Wish he'd just shut up as it is gonna come and bite him in the ass when the tide turns.
I don't remember hearing if he got any vaccine. It would not have made sense to since he had already had covid and recovered, and thus was immune based on basic pre-2020 biology. (You know, the same biology that has 2 sexes based on very bigoted chromosomes)
Regeneron is a treatment based on monoclonal antibodies harvested from plasma of recovered people, and seems fairly safe but it's a treatment post infection not a vaccine.
Remdesivir is an expensive antiviral that doesn't seem to work but for some mysterious reason is the only one approved for use.
The approved treatment protocol is beyond fucking stupid
Here’s the video from an interview with Hannity where he admits receiving it (JnJ I believe), time stamp 3:30: https://nypost.com/2021/04/19/trumps-urges-americans-to-get-vaccines-takes-shot-at-jj-pause/
That's too bad. This may be an area where he could get better advice.
