President Donald Trump is encouraging Americans to “get those shots,” as the coronavirus vaccine begins to roll out in the United States. In a tweet, Trump wrote, “All-time Stock Market high. The Vaccine and the Vaccine rollout are getting the best of reviews. Moving along really well. Get those “shots” everyone! Also, the stimulus talks looking very good.”
Earlier this week, the first non-trial Pfizer vaccine was given to Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse in New York City, with the medication going on to be sent out around the nation. “I feel hopeful today, relieved. I feel like healing is coming,” Lindsay said in a statement after being inoculated. “I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our country.” Trump’s new comments on the vaccine have sparked many comments on Twitter, where some users are cheering on the vaccine, and others are questioning Trump’s handling of the pandemic overall.

The Trump Administration lied to us about everything: the severity of the virus, its means of transmission, its pervasive spread, the potential for loss of life, the possibility of catastrophic illness.

I think Trump doesn’t deserves credit for the vaccine because he called the pandemic a hoax yet he knew how dangerous it was so early on

Thats where you lose me, considering you were well aware of vaccine issues in the past.

I find it ridiculous that the man who called COVID-19 a hoax and said โit will go away soonโ is getting all the credit for the COVID-19 vaccine even though he didnโt fund it nor doesnโt care about the death toll

I wish you’d stop going on about the vaccine. You have my support on many things, but definitely not on the vaccine.

You know, the vaccine isn’t instant protection. It will take at least 30 days for those who get both doses to build an immunity.

Ah yes, always trust your feelings over well-vetted scientific research. Longterm COVID damage is so much better.

The stock market means NOTHING if one is poor and suffering. You did not develope the vaccine. Your @GOP did not step up soon enough. You wanted to achieve herd immunity at the cost of millions of lives. #StankyTrump.
