President Trump Says He Will NOT Make Coronavirus Vaccine Mandatory

President Trump said he would not issue a mandate for a coronavirus vaccine when a jab becomes available.

Trump said he wants individuals to choose for themselves amid concerns that immunizations are being rushed through trials.

RT reports: Asked who would be first to receive a vaccine in an interview on Fox Business on Thursday, Trump said “essential workers” and “older people” would take priority, but made a brief detour to assure that he would not make vaccination compulsory.

“I don’t believe I’d ever do a mandated vaccine,” the president told Fox’s Stuart Varney. “I just don’t think I would do that, where you have to have it, because there are some people who feel very strong about that whole situation.”

Recent polling shows that around 50 percent of Americans surveyed would decline to take one of the coronavirus vaccines under development, many citing concerns that the approval process is being rushed. Though Trump has repeatedly stated a jab would be available by election day, a recent shift in federal guidelines – as well as delays in at least two ongoing trials over safety concerns – could push FDA approval into December, with a mass roll-out coming in the following weeks and months.

  1. Corona virus vaccine will be another in a line of failed flu vaccines! The virus is survivable with minimal effort, just like most flu viruses!!!

  2. He’s is going to need the rarest thing on earth A trustworthy Dr who represents him instead of the DIRECTOR GENERAL of health care globally. He will need an unlicensed Dr or a very brave courageous moral one .

    • I’m not sure we’re even functioning under the Constitution any more, based on the level of treason and sedition that is allowed to be carried out on a daily basis.

  3. ON THE OTHER HAND:

    () “The secret the government is keeping from you is that they plan to keep us shut down until there is some kind of vaccine, and then whether it’s compulsory at the federal level, or the state level, or maybe they persuade your employers though another PPP program that you won’t qualify for unless you make your employees get the vaccine, I think that’s their plan. Somebody convince me that’s not their plan, because there is no logical ending to this other than that.”

  4. Makes sense, because if your goal is always divide and conquer, it means that Biden will have one opinion and Trump will have the opposite opinion, as that is how America’s divide and conquer has always worked. You have your indoctrinated and conditioned Republicans/rights/conservatives cult, and you have your indoctrinated and conditioned Democrats/lefts/liberals cult. Which cult are you ignorant enough to belong to?
