Just keeping this one short. Found this info on Time,

Did President Donald Trump Get the Flu Shot?

Health experts are predicting an especially nasty influenza season: cases are picking up early, and the flu season in Australia—which tends to be a harbinger of the U.S.’s—is reporting substantially more cases than last year. Though this year’s vaccine may not be as effective as in prior years, public health experts remain adamant about its importance, both in preventing infection and protecting people who cannot get the shot, including infants, the elderly and people who are immune compromised.

That advice is often heeded publicly by public officials and U.S. presidents, especially when there are severe influenza strains. Former Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Tom Price was photographed receiving his flu shot in September. In 2009, former President Barack Obama released a photo getting his H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine. President Gerald Ford got his swine flu vaccine back in 1976 on television. Plenty of governors and senators also release photos of their influenza vaccinations. In 2010, Obama officially declared Dec. 5-11 as National Influenza Vaccination Week. “I encourage Americans to get vaccinated this week if they have not yet done so, and to urge their families, friends, and co workers to do the same,” he wrote.

Does anyone else see how fitting this is or is it just me?

In 2015, during an interview on the former Opie & Jim Norton radio show, Trump was asked if he gets the flu shot every year, and said no:

“I’ve never had one… Thus far I’ve never had the flu. I don’t like the idea of injecting bad stuff into [my] body, which is basically what they do…I’ve never had a flu shot, and I’ve never had the flu…I have friends that religiously get the flu shot and then they get the flu… I’ve seen a lot of reports that the last flu shot is virtually totally ineffective.”

Are you getting the flu shot? Do think vaccines work?

Sort:  

I don't and never will. Just another big pharma scam... Doctors are mostly just drug dealers these days.

It does seem that way!
I have never had one for the flu either!
