And by “Trumper” do you mean pro Trump? Because Trump gave us the vaccines and still stands by them.

Possibly? I wouldn't be surprised if the Source who provided the quote is a Hollywood liberal and characterizes anyone who goes against the mainstream narrative as a "Trumper" without a 2nd thought or nuanced understanding. Either way, Justin is Canadian and unable to vote regardless of who he may or may not support.

Any thoughts on the public and media reaction if Trump refused to fast track the vaccine? If he used his own judgment as a layman to overrule all the medical professionals in government? Really. I would like to know what you think.

I think his continuing to herald the amazing vaccines is an out and out loser among people who otherwise like him and want to vote for him. Wish he would acknowledge that very evil people used their position to do very evil things. It would go a long way with conservatives.

I'll also add he never mandated the jab.. The mashed potato in chief did that.

Mandate or no, it shouldn't even be a CHIOCE to inject an untested, experimental bioweapon. Trump "highly encouraged" people to get jabbed and still does.

I'll return to the original reply. How would it have gone over with the public and media if he did not so as advised by long standing professional doctors and scientists? I know lots of grammies who were scared out of their mind in 2020 begging for a vaccine. Actually most everyone was. There were people in my neighborhood who were staying up all night on the eve of the vaccine release to be first to sign up for the jab. There was and still is no talking to most of them.

Did you know there are still drugs being fast tracked for use? There was before this mess and will continue to be. In fact there have been loud choruses of people wanting fast tracks of drugs hoping they can be saved by experimental drugs. TRY to convince them otherwise. Most people who feel their life is imperiled will do almost anything to save it.

I hate the jab. Hate it, but mandate and encouraging are not even closely related. You should understand that. "Get a jab or you will lose your job and pension" "I think the jab is a wonderful thing". Which of the two statements can you easily tell the person uttering it that they can shove their vax? Who do you want running your country?

Trump was desperate to get his succeeding rational nationalism rewrite of Global trade, back on track, and it was being destroyed. All his efforts depended on that success. So he trusted the science, while facing almost unimaginable opposition on every level. That was a very large mistake. Does he yet believe that science? I do not know, many do. He did advocate for choice and state rights. I likewise wish he recognized being misled. I do tend to support whomever they fear the most, and they fear Trump.
