CPAC “I need to be vaccinated”

It was revealed that the former US presidential couple Donald Trump had been vaccinated privately with a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine during the time in office.
On the 1st (local time), The New York Times (NYT) and the political media The Hill reported this, citing an aide of former President Trump.
According to The Hill, the former President and Mrs. Trump received their first vaccination at the White House before retiring on January 20, and then received a second vaccination. It’s unclear whether they got a vaccine developed by pharmaceutical companies Modena or Pfizer, The Hill said.
This was announced a day after Trump said “everyone should be vaccinated” at a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida. The NYT said the fact was known amid numerous Trump supporters’ rejection of the vaccine, and said Trump had never publicly recommended vaccination during his presidency.
Former President Trump’s vaccinations were of interest because when the United States entered vaccinations in December last year, key White House officials began to be hit, but former President Trump did not show a clear stance on his vaccinations. For example, in a tweet on December 13 last year, former President Trump said, “We do not have a vaccination plan, but we are looking forward to receiving the vaccination at the right time.”
At the same time, “White House staff should get the vaccine a little late unless specifically needed,” a White House spokesman corrected that key officials would get the vaccine early.
The former President and Mrs. Trump were diagnosed with Corona 19 in early October last year during the presidential election, and the former President Trump was hospitalized for three days because the symptoms were more severe than Ms. Melania Trump. A White House official cited the reason that the effect of receiving the COVID-19 treatment continues in relation to the fact that former President Trump did not get the vaccine early.
The fact that former President Trump was vaccinated privately without notifying the media about the vaccination is also in contrast to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Vice President Mike Pence, who publicly vaccinated via live TV. They opted for public vaccination to emphasize the importance of vaccination to Americans and to alleviate concerns about side effects.
“Former President Trump has expressed skepticism about vaccines on social media in the past,” said The Hill. “Experts were concerned that his hesitation about vaccination during his tenure could be a cause of wider vaccination hesitation.” .
