Trump implores supporters to take credit for the vaccines — even if they don’t want to take the vaccines

CNN reports:

According to video tweeted by O’Reilly’s “No Spin News,” the former Fox News host says, “Both the President and I are vaxxed” and then asks Trump, “Did you get the booster?”

“Yes,” Trump says to a smattering of boos in the audience. “Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,” Trump says in the video, seemingly trying to quiet the boos. “That’s all right, it’s a very tiny group over there.”

CNN has reached out to a Trump spokesperson for more details on the former President’s decision to get the booster shot.

In a longer video later tweeted by O’Reilly’s site, Trump warns supporters that they are “playing right into their hands” when they dismiss the vaccines and don’t take credit for them.

“Look, we did something that was historic, we saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We, together, all of us, not me,” Trump says in the video, which comes right before Trump receives the smattering of boos.

He goes on to say that Covid-19 was going to “ravage the country far beyond what it is right now” if the vaccines had not been developed.

“Take credit for it. Take credit for it. It’s great. What we’ve done is historic. Don’t let them take it away. Don’t take it away from ourselves,” Trump says. “You are playing right into their hands when you sort of like, ‘oh, the vaccine.’ If you don’t want to take it, you shouldn’t be forced to take it. No mandates. But take credit, because we saved tens of millions of lives. Take credit. Don’t let them take that away from you.” [Continue reading…]
