That’s actually a decent thing to do and well formulated in the tweet. Who stole his phone?

I guess his anti bodies didn’t last long.

Let’s be honest:

With 53 known cases in the building, is it really important for them to spend the money on vaccinating people who’ve already been exposed or been sick?

No.

Give it to the people on the front lines first. I expect to wait until at least June for my first.

The permanent low level White House staff should be high priority. If only as recompense for the unnecessary risk Trump caused them.

Anyone who has supported Trump’s anti mask extravaganza should not get the vaccine or medical care voluntarily.

This would be the DECENT thing to do Donnie but … why do I get the feeling that YOU don’t want to take the vaccine so you are denying it to your people??? When the ex-Presidents vowed to take the vaccine on TV so all people could see it was safe you didn’t say a damn word.

What’s up Doc? What about the first lady? Do you know kiddo married to the doofus in the White House. How many degrees did you say you have kiddo? How many times if you plagiarized yourself we want to know where Melania has proof of her claimed degrees or she and imposter by the way she even a citizen? Is the kiddo going to have a inoculation alongside her doofus husband the traitor, case in point the Benedict Arnold squatting in the White House

He’s already boasted that he’s immune, and so many people in the WH and his family have already gotten Covid, I would assume they generally also have immunity. In addition, they have available to them the same expensive cocktail of drugs that Trump and Rudyused and that is not available to mere citizens without a special connection to Dear Leader. If they’re getting antibodies tested regularly , they probably can track whether their immunity is sustained.
Most importantly, what exactly does “later” mean? In Trumpish, I would define it as: Once someone tells me it will do me some good,

I’m sure if Dear Leader said it, it’s true.

Do we believe him? Or as per @teenlaqueefa, is it because he already got his? (Or perhaps he just believes now that he is completely immune for life??)

And this is where Biden could go a long way to encouraging others to get the vaccine (not the anti-vax set, they’re hopeless; those that are sincerely on the fence are the ones I’m talking about here). Let’s get him and Kamala on screen, taking their two doses as they become available.

Shame still works once in awhile for Donnie. Not often enough, though

Naw, he’s incapable. There’s something/someone else behind this.

No, shame does not exist in that Oathbreaker’s empty husk. Someone else told him to do that so he could get more adulation from his senseless followers.

Maybe he can take it with the Proud Boys guy who was invited to visit with him at the WH (or maybe not) or perhaps just went (or didn’t go) to a public tour, which may or may not have been held due to the pandemic, and besides, who can believe anything that anyone at the WH says?
Here’s what they should do: announce that WH staffers will take it when it is available to others in their demographic groups, and until then they will observe the protocols that are recommended by the CDC. Then (and this is where it gets tricky for them) they should observe the protocols.
