Was it not officially out yet I guess? But it was in trials right? So even the one being used publicly now was presumably "done" back then, just not officially approved. Is that the news? That he took the vaccine when it was not officially available?
Naw. In November, one of the drug companies announced that a vaccine would be available by the end of the year --pending FDA approval. I don't recall whether it was Phizer or AstraZeneca, but the first vaccinations happened around mid-December. Anyway, Biden, Harris, members of Congress, health care workers, and eligible people began getting publicized shots around that time.
So, what's the big deal about Trump? To me, it's funny that he and his family received the vaccine privately. The reason is because he's personally politicized the issue to the point where wearing a mask, following a guideline, or getting the vaccine is a political statement. His supporters have been the most adamantly opposed to those measures, many agreeing that it is an overblown hoax. Yet, while they're arguing, look who gets the special antiviral cocktails and steroidial treatments.
I have no problem with him getting the vaccine. I even get that it was prescibed after he had overcome covid. I think the hoaxer taking it is just ironic. But, since he did, I think it would have been great for him to do it publicly. His people would listen to him. It's not what Harris said about taking his advice. It's about his failed opportunity to offer good advice. The fact that he didn't do it publicly supports Harris's position about how much she would trust Trump.
