Public health advocates are watching in growing alarm as former President Trump increasingly embraces the anti-vaccine movement.
“I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate,” Trump said in a recent campaign rally in Richmond, Va.
It’s a line Trump has repeated, and his campaign said he is only referring to school COVID-19 vaccine mandates — but that hasn’t eased fears that the GOP leader could accelerate already worrying trends of declining child vaccination.
Trump “is an important voice. He has a big platform. And he uses that platform, in this case, to do harm. Because he’s implying by saying that we shouldn’t mandate vaccines, vaccines are in some ways ineffective or unsafe,” said Paul Offit, a pediatrician and vaccine expert at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Many people—including too many religious leaders—bowed down before golden syringe that Faucichadnezzar had set up.
They looked upon it as though it were a deliverer or savior.
And then they got COVID anyway.
Sounds like he’s against the mandate. That’s why it’s important to thoroughly read the articles you post regularly.
I see, it is "anti-vaccine" to oppose tyrannical anti-American policies that impose forced medical procedures and forced protective measures that have been proven useless and worse proven harmful!?
It is the logic of a child to conflate that as being opposed to a vaccine and coming from presumed adults it is malevolent.
True. So why is The Hill trying to portray Trump as an anti-vaxxer?
I guess they figure their intended audience is too stupid to know this is untrue.
I read it all.
There’s a difference between touting the rapidity of developing a product and mandating that said product be consumed by the public.
The former is an example of efficiency; the latter is authoritarian.
That rapid development was part of multiple deadly protocols, from Remdesivir and vents in the hospital to killer jabs that bypassed all safety protocols.
It’s promotion by both the Trump and Biden administrations has killed many Americans (and others around the world).
And yes, being against mandates is a good thing.
And he is free to believe that and to say that.
What he is not free to do is force me to have it.
And he does not wish to do so and is against other people doing so as well.
So we do not have a problem.
The article is nonsense. Trump, while commenting on Biden’s SOTU address, was still boasting about his role in bringing us the death jabs at warp speed. Alex Jones was livid and stated in very colorful and blunt terms his displeasure with Trump’s statement.
Apparently Trump still believes his “three vaccines all are very, very good,” “beautiful vaccines”, ”one of the greatest achievements of mankind”.
Trump’s hanging on like grim death to that political fiction. Like it’s the Emperor’s clothes, frankly. Could really end up costing him if he doesn’t stifle.
He got suckered and can’t admit it.
Here are his statements
"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind." Trump
"I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines all are very, very good.” Trump
"I was able to get something approved that, you know, that has proven to have saved a lot of lives. Some people say that I saved 100 million lives worldwide." Trump
A very important distinction.
Trump touted the speed of vaccine development.
Biden mandated vaccine deployment for employment.
Candidate Biden said to “wear a mask for just 100 days, not forever”.
President Biden inflicted a 90 day public transportation mask mandate shortly after taking office and extended it SIX times.
That’s 540 days.
He has always been, 100%, for choice.
Better late than never. Then again, this is Trump, who has flip-flopped on the vax issue so many times. Who knows what he’ll say next week?
Watching the left’s reactions tells you more about them than anything they can say.
