Trump enrages anti-vaxxers

Trump comes under attack every time he says something that's actually sensible, like calling for an end to NATO, an end to all the wars, better relations with Russia and when he briefly called for the U.S. to be even-handed with the Israelis and Palestinians.

Now he's under attack for saying that he's been vaccinated and has gotten the booster.  He's taking credit for the COVID vaccines and has called for people to get vaccinated.

“The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind… I came up with a vaccine – with three vaccines – all are very, very good. The vaccines work. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take their vaccine… If you take the vaccine you’re protected. Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get [Covid], it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.” 

His supporters are turning on him, calling him evil, ignorant and delusional. One guy talked about staging an intervention.

This should hamper his attempt at re-election. He lost the last two times anyway. And it may convince a few of his followers to get vaccinated. Nothing wrong with any of that.
