Ex-president says most Americans dying or hospitalized because of COVID are unvaccinated and encourages everyone to get the shot when pushed on why more have died under Biden
- Donald Trump was at odds with conservative Daily Wire host Candace Owens as he urged Americans to get vaccinated
- ‘If you take the vaccine, you’re protected,’ he argued. ‘People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine’
- This is one of the issues where the ex-president is at odds with much of his base
- Trump said over the weekend that he has received his booster COVID jab
- President Joe Biden on Tuesday afternoon thanked ‘the prior administration and our scientific community’ for their work in making a vaccine available so quickly
- Trump told Fox shortly after he was ‘very appreciative’ and ‘surprised to hear it’
- The former president was hospitalized with COVID-19 in October 2020
