Former President Trump and previous very first woman Melania Trump were both immunized at the White House in January, a Trump consultant tells Axios.
Why it matters: Trump declared at CPAC on Sunday that “everybody” need to get the coronavirus vaccine– the first time he’s encouraged his fans, who have been more doubtful of getting vaccinated, to do so.
- It’s uncertain which vaccine they got.
- Vaccine hesitancy is greater among white Republicans than any other market group, and it hasn’t been enhancing as the vaccination effort continues, according to Civiqs polling
- The news of the Trumps getting immunized was first reported by the New York Times.
What he’s saying: ” We looked after a lot of individuals– consisting of, I think, on Dec. 21, we looked after Joe Biden, because he got his shot, he got his vaccine,” Trump said at CPAC on Sunday. “So everyone, go get your shot.”
Flashback: In December, previous Surgeon General Jerome Adams safeguarded Trump for waiting to get immunized after the rollout of the Pfizer vaccine, stating the previous president had a “medical factor” for refraining from doing so.
- Adams mentioned an experimental antibody treatment Trump had been given after contracting the infection in October.
