Worried about the Uptick in COVID infections?

By June 25, 2024No Comments

Have you got your mask on?  Did you have a family member or a friend die of COVID or get Long Covid?  Or maybe you live in a “red” conservative state where people discouraged mask-wearing during the Trump-fanned COVID epidemic.  Trump told us over and over again that everything was under control.   Well, that didn’t work!  ”

“The former president has on the campaign trail promised to strip funding from schools with vaccine requirements and lambasted independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as ‘fake’ anti-vaccines while Trump also obscured his role in speeding the development of the Covid shot when he was president during the pandemic” (Politico)

Well, no one gets to have it both ways.  People died because they believed the vaccines were dangerous or at the very least, would not help.

See the timeline below for all of the former president’s mish-mash for misstatements.
