Trump reveals he's taken a COVID booster shot, supports vaccines

Trump told his audience not to get the vaccine if they are really opposed to it, but that if they disparage the vaccine itself, they are "playing right into their hands," presumably those of the Biden administration.

Trump started by stating:

"Look, we did something that was historic. We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide We, together, all of us, not me, we."

"We got a vaccine done, three vaccines done, and tremendous therapeutics, like Regeneron and other things that have saved a lot of lives. We got a vaccine done in less than nine months that was supposed to take from five to 12 years."

"Because of that vaccine, millions and millions of people, I think this would have been the Spanish Flu of 1917 where up to a hundred million people died. This was going to ravage the country, far beyond what it is now."

"Take credit for it; take credit for it. It was a great, what we've done it's historic."

"Don't let them take it away. Don't take it away from ourselves. You're playing right into their hands, when you're sort of like 'oh, the vaccine.' If you don't want to take it, you shouldn't be forced to take it; no mandates."

"But take credit, because we saved tens of millions of lives; take credit. Don't let them take it away from you. Do you agree with that? Right?"

Thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the auditorium.

O'Reilly commented to Trump, "Both the President and I are vaxxed, and, did you get the booster?"

"Yes," Trump replied. "I got it too," answered O'Reilly.

A faint sound of booing could be heard from one small part of the audience. He waved them off impatiently, calling them "a tiny group," and saying: "No, no, no, no."
