He admits he’s gotten a booster shot…
Said others should;d get them….
THAT has gotten some of his supporter’s bent out of shape….
The fringe factions of the right-wing have erupted in anger and confusion at former President Donald Trump’s enthusiastic lauding of the COVID-19 vaccine this week.
On two separate occasions, Trump advocated for people to take the COVID-19 vaccine this past week. On Sunday, crowds booed the former president when he revealed to Bill O’Reilly that he had taken a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot and is pro-vaccination. Trump doubled down on his stance during an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens on Wednesday, hailing the vaccine as “one of the greatest achievements of mankind.”
“No, the vaccine worked. But some people aren’t taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take their vaccine,” Trump told Owens.
“If you take the vaccine, you’re protected. Look, the results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get (COVID-19), it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine,” he added.
On social media, right-wing figures from conspiracy theorist and talk show host Alex Jones to recently-subpoenaed “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander came out in force, rebuking Trump for his position….
My Name Is Jack says
Operation warp speed which led to the speedy development of the vaccines was probably the major accomplishment of the Trump administration.
Either these Right Wing goofballs don’t realize that or the are just some damn irrational and dumb they think he would repudiate his own handiwork,
Better yet as Joe Walsh would put it?
They’re Republicans. They like lies,

Good news from South Africa. After a sharp spike due to Omicton, the case load is now falling fairly rapidly.

Virus Two month cycle….
For us hopefully mid January….
Democratic Socialist Dave says
We really don’t yet have that good an idea how long a cycle Covid variants go through; or if there’s even one cycle length that’s common to several variants, present and future.
Merry Chritmas to All!
or as we socialistic enemies of Xmas say,
Happy Holidays!
Zreebs says
Dave is right. The Omicron cycle in South Africa may be short because they are just starting summer. We aren’t so lucky.

MAGA Radio Host Calls for Trump Intervention
Conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root wants to stage an “intervention” with Donald Trump over the former president’s support for the Covid-19 vaccine, the Daily Beast reports.
Said Root: “He’s been right on everything except this issue. He’s so horribly wrong on this issue, and the best way to put it, ironically, is that he’s dead wrong, because people are dying!”
He added: “When everyone I know dies, you are getting the blame, President Trump!”
