The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 1st (local time) that former U.S. President Donald Trump was vaccinated privately with a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine before retirement. This is the first time that Trump’s vaccination has been released.

This fact became known one day after Trump first recommended vaccination to the public, saying, “Everyone must go get the vaccine,” at a keynote speech on the last day of the CPAC in Orlando, Florida.

It is not known in detail whether former President Trump completed both primary and secondary vaccinations at the White House, and what vaccines he received.

NYT cited Trump’s staff who requested anonymity on the day, saying that former President Trump and his wife, Mrs. Melania, were vaccinated against Corona 19 at the White House in January. Other media such as the Washington Post (WP) and Axios, a US political media outlet, also confirmed this.

NYT said that former President Trump had never publicly encouraged vaccination during his tenure, and was only interested in whether the development of the vaccine was recognized as his credit. For this reason, it is known that not a few of his supporters have a feeling of resistance to vaccination.

Former President Trump said that in December of last year, when vaccination began in the United States, he “has no plans for vaccination,” and “expects to get the vaccine at the right time.” Prior to this, in October last year In an interview with Fox News, it was controversial by mentioning that “(Corona 19) may have been immune for life.”

Earlier, President Joe Biden, Vice President Camela Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Anthony Pouch, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, were publicly vaccinated in front of TV to increase public confidence in the vaccine.

Former President Trump was hospitalized in Walter Reed County Hospital for three days after being confirmed for Corona 19 in early October last year. At this time, Ms. Melania and her family, as well as White House staff and staff were positively judged to be positive, and they were told that the White House became a collective infection site.
