Why trump continued to push a shot that is blowing up peoples hearts.
You said we are not willing to touch it with a 10 foot pole. That's not true. Myself and others have tackled this issue when it was a current thing.
Trump bragged about getting the vaccine ready in record time. He also didn't think it should be mandatory, and he specifically stated it shouldn't be given to kids.
He did this to help us fight the vaccine, and it worked very well. Did you know that only about 35% of the USA got the booster? We are winning this battle.
Did Trump get support from Democrats by his comments about the vaccine? Did he get any praise. Nope. Nothing.
Did Trump convince us to go get vaccinated with his comments? Nope. He got booed on stage when he brought them up.
Sooo... If Trump had nothing to gain by speaking about vaccines, why did he do it? Is he dumb? Did he think he would gain something by doing it, but was just being a fool?
No, Donald J. Trump is no fool. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Remember what happened when he mentioned in passing that Hydroxychloroquine looked like a promising early treatment for C-19?
Overnight you have governors all across the nation making executive order to forbid pharmacies from filling Doctor's prescriptions for it. You had a fraudulent paper published in Lancet about how HCQ doesn't work and just kills patients. When directed to make an Emergency Use Authorization for HCQ, bureaucrats in the FDA made it so it could only be used on hospitalized patients, thus making sure it didn't work. HCQ is for early treatment. It is not nearly as effective in the late stages.
So what would you have expected to happen had Trump come out against the vaccines in 2021? When Trump even mentioned HCQ in passing, it turned into a firestorm and HCQ was pretty much banned for early treatment nationwide. And this was when he was President of the United States.
They said how dare the non-doctor, non-scientist Trump give medical advice to the American People? He knows nothing of medicine and he's putting people in danger.
And somehow, you think that if he came out as anti-vaxx after he is not longer President that would have worked?
No, what would have happened is that all our memes, all our data we had collected, all the arguments we have spread would have all been swept away as 'already debunked'. We were just parroting the bizarre claims of non-doctor, non-scientist Trump.
But they couldn't do that when Trump comes out as mildly pro-vax, could they? how could they explain us booing him on the stage? Our arguments stood the test of time, and we are winning. And Trump's position helped us, and had he joined our cause it would have hurt us greatly.
Remember what happened with HCQ.
Same when he mentioned a disinfectant, and the communists went ape shit, telling people "ermahgerd, he said to inject bleach!"
Thanks for your explanation. We've covered this here extensively in the past when he was still pushing it.
It also debunked the "cult" claim when he was booed at for touting the vax. Cultists do not boo their leader, they blindly follow. We are not blind and follow ideals, not people. We follow DJT because he follows our ideals, not because we are idiot fan boi's. Only the left does that.
Good point!
It’s been discussed multiple times on here. There is a logical reasoning behind it. War isn’t pretty.
