The fringe groups of the right-wing have been angry and confused by Donald Trump's praise of the vaccine.
Trump advocated for people to take the vaccine on two separate occasions. On Sunday, crowds booed the former president when he revealed to Bill O'Reilly that he had taken a vaccine booster shot. During an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens on Wednesday, Trump doubled down on his stance, hailing the vaccine as one of the greatest achievements of mankind.
The vaccine worked. Some people are not taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine, Trump told Owens.
You're protected if you take the vaccine. The vaccine results are very good. It's a very minor form if you get it. He said that people aren't dying when they take their vaccine.
Alex Jones, Ali Alexander, and other right-wing figures came out against Trump on social media.
Remember when Trump said you would be playing into the Democrat's hands by mocking the shot? Alexander wrote on his Telegram channel that Joe Biden praises him and his booster shot.
"Trump, stop." Just stop. Allow us to have our position backed by science if you have it. Alexander wrote that this losing is getting boomer level annoying.
Alex Jones, host of the talk show "InfoWars", lashed out at Trump after the former president said on Sunday that he had received a booster shot for the vaccine.
Go ahead and do it. Take credit for it. Sign on, believe it. We're fighting Bill Gates and Fauci and Biden and the New World Order and Psaki and the Davos Group, and now we've got Trump on their team! Jones said something.
Lin Wood tried to justify Trump's pro-vaccine-stance by suggesting that he was using "wartime strategy and the tactics designed to achieve victory", though he did not elaborate on what he thought those tactics were.
After the Trump interview with Owens aired, Ron Watkins, a congressional candidate in Arizona, posted a message on his Telegram channel, calling the vaccines "subscription suicide shots" and urging his followers to "choose life" and "never comply."
Some members of Watkins' Telegram channel voiced their doubts about Trump.
I had my doubts about Trump, but I guess God lead to me. One member of Watkins' chat with the ID David Deitrich wrote that they were giving up on him saving America. "My beliefs." He came into the presidency to make America great and then betrayed us to the evil SOBs.
