Over 200 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine under the Biden administration had already been administered to Americans across the country, but Americans, particularly those who support former President Donald Trump, have opposed getting vaccinated. Recently, some of Trump’s former advisers are now urging the former president to issue a PSA encouraging his supporters and the Republicans in general, to get vaccinated.
Two former senior Trump administration officials told CNN that they have been urging Trump to encourage his base of supporters to get vaccinated for COVID-19. The officials cited that hesitancy towards the vaccine would disrupt chances of achieving herd immunity towards the coronavirus. Trump and first lady Melania Trump quietly got vaccinated before they left Washington in January.
