Trump gives thumbs up on Post’s push for lifesaving COVID vaccine:

The Post’s push to get New Yorkers to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated against the coronavirus is drawing a big thumbs-up from Donald Trump. The former president is on board with the campaign to get more people immunized so the city can get up and running at full speed.

“I’m all in favor of the vaccine,” Trump said Thursday. “It’s one of the great achievements, a true miracle, and not only for the United States. We’re saving tens of millions of lives throughout the world. We’re saving entire countries.”

Speaking by telephone to Post columnist Michael Goodwin, Trump said he got his first shot before leaving the White House in January, and his second in Florida, where he now lives. Former First Lady Melania Trump also has been vaccinated, and neither had any adverse reactions. --->READ MOREHERE

Staten Island man gets COVID-19 vaccine because Donald Trump said so:

A Staten Island resident was originally “skeptical” about getting the COVID-19 vaccine — but when he saw former President Donald Trump on the cover of The Post Friday encouraging everyone to get the jab, he decided to roll up his sleeves.

“As soon as Trump said it, I was convinced to get it,” said Nick Quaranta, a 42-year-old mortgage loan officer outside of the Staten Island Mall Friday afternoon right after he got his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

“Trump said the other day, as reported in The Post, that everyone should get it and I’m a big Trump supporter. Not that he dictates my life but I think it’s better off getting it than getting the full blown COVID.”

Trump spoke with Post columnist Michael Goodwin on Thursday about the importance of getting the vaccine, saying while it is a personal choice, it is absolutely critical for the nation’s recovery and efforts to reach herd immunity. --->READ MORE HERE
