Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's chief medical advisor, said that he was "stunned" when Donald Trump was booed by his supporters after he announced that he had received a booster shot.
Newsweek reported that Trump made the remarks during Bill O'Reilly's "History Tour" last week. Fauci said during an interview on ABC's "This Week" that he was dismayed by the negative reaction from the crowd.
When former President Trump made that statement, his followers booed him. Fauci said he was stunned by that, and that he believes it shows how much they are being told.
This Week is on December 26, 2021.
During a recent interview with a right-wing pundit who has spoken out against vaccines, Trump championed the vaccine, calling it one of the greatest achievements of mankind.
The results of the vaccine are very good, Trump said during the interview. It's a very minor form if you get it. People don't die when they take their vaccine.
Many of Trump's supporters are more skeptical of getting the shots than members of the Republican party are, according to polls.
Fauci thinks that Trump is a good thing because he continues to say that people should get vaccinations. I hope he keeps going.
