I've seen lots of "right wing" people saying that Trump is betraying them by recommending the vaccine constantly. I don't think he's anti-vax.

- r00fus 5y agoThat he is promoting the vaccine now doesn't ignore the fact that his anti-vax, anti-mask stance while in office essentially drove that movement. There are numerous [1] points [2] where he could have changed [3] things and saved many many lives but decided it would help him politically to do the opposite. The anti-vax movement is a monster he created, fed and hoped would net him a re-election. That it's turning on him now (that he's no longer in office) is sad but predictable.

- rc2634 5y agoYou might have Trump derangement syndrome. The sources you decided to cite also points to that diagnosis. Trump was never anti-vax. He was a shit president and is an awful human being but he wasn’t anti-vax. He actually wanted credit for his handling of vaccine development and distribution. He himself is vaccinated and encouraged others to get vaccinated.
