Former US President Donald Trump said he had taken the booster dose of Covid’s vaccine.
The statement was made by Trump during an event this Sunday (19) with journalist Bill O’Riley in Dallas, Texas.
After O’Riley claimed that both he and the former president were vaccinated and asked if the Republican had taken the booster, Trump said, “Yes.” Afterwards, the journalist said: “I took it too”.
Faced with an apparent negative reaction from the audience to the information that Trump had taken the booster dose, the former president waved his hand and said, pointing to the audience: “No, no, no, no, no. It’s a group little there”.
Part of Trump’s supporters base is against vaccination. A study by the Pew Research Center released in September shows that 73% of adults in the United States said they had taken at least one dose of the vaccine, but adherence to immunization varied according to the political preference of the respondent: while 86% of Democrats said they had. taken the injection, only 60% of Republicans claimed to have been vaccinated.
The former president, 75, took the first dose of the vaccine in January, while he was still at the White House. At the time, Trump did not release the information, which only became public in March through the American press.
