Former President Trump and former first girl Melania Trump were both immunized at the White House in January, a Trump advisor tells Axios.
Why it matters: Trump stated at CPAC on Sunday that “everyone” need to get the coronavirus vaccine– the first time he’s encouraged his advocates, who have actually been more doubtful of getting vaccinated, to do so.
- It’s unclear which vaccine they got.
- Vaccine hesitancy is higher amongst white Republicans than any other market group, and it hasn’t been improving as the vaccination effort continues, according to Civiqs ballot
- The news of the Trumps getting immunized was initially reported by the New York Times.
What he’s saying: ” We took care of a lot of individuals– including, I guess, on Dec. 21, we took care of Joe Biden, since he got his shot, he got his vaccine,” Trump stated at CPAC on Sunday. “So everybody, go get your shot.”
Flashback: In December, former Cosmetic surgeon General Jerome Adams protected Trump for waiting to get immunized after the rollout of the Pfizer vaccine, stating the previous president had a “medical factor” for not doing so.
- Adams cited a speculative antibody treatment Trump had actually been given after contracting the infection in October.
