.MaddowBlog: Former President Trump's acolytes adore him, just so long as he's saying what they want to hear — and right now, they don't want to hear the truth about vaccines.
Former President Donald Trump praised the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines in a new interview just days after being booed by an audience for revealing he received a Covid booster shot.conservative commentator Candace Owens in an interview on Wednesday. When the host started to push back a bit, the former president quickly added,"Oh no, the vaccines work. The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine....
There's certainly room for conversation about the Republican's motives. Trump expressed disapproval of vaccines unrelated to Covid because he didn't develop them. He questioned the utility of masks, because he couldn't take credit for them, either.
At face value, that makes quite a bit of sense. There's ample evidence that rank-and-file Republican voters are among the least likely to do the responsible thing; those same voters tend to have a religious-like reverence for the former president; so it stands to reason that Trump's rhetoric might have beneficial effects as we try to end the pandemic.
