The article underscores the danger of low vaccination rates among Trump supporters to public health and highlights the complexity of vaccine hesitancy amidst political polarization.

Opinions

Some MAGA supporters believe Fauci has overstepped his role and should refrain from political involvement.
A subset of Trump voters, despite being vaccinated, criticize Fauci's credibility and trustworthiness.
There are individuals who identify as Trump supporters but maintain that they think independently and will not get vaccinated simply because Trump suggests it

MAGA People Are Attacking Dr. Fauci On Facebook

Some comments are vicious

Medical experts recommend that everyone get the vaccine

A MAGA follower posted an article on Facebook in which Dr. Anthony Fauci has suggested that Donald Trump should ask his supporters to get the COVID-19 vaccine because they listen to him. Fauci said Trump should use his popularity to persuade his followers to get the vaccine.

News reports have indicated that half of Trump supporters have said that they will NOT get the vaccine. Fauci thinks that is dangerous to the rest of the general public.

Trump received around seventy-five million votes in the last election. Most of those people are likely to still be Trump followers. The real MAGA people keep supporting him in spite of the fact that he lost and is no longer in the White House. They call him “My President” even though he is gone.

The comments were pro and con. Here are some of them (with typos included):

Fauci should go away. He has overdone his welcome. Stay out of politics. I voted for Trump and got vaccinated.

If he was more trustworthy and not such an idiot he wouldn’t need anyone else or anything else to sell that snake oil.

Funny thing, even if he said go take the vaccine, we wouldn’t because we think for ourselves.

Dude fauci go away

Fauci is a fraud

I support trump 100% but if he told me to get the vaccine my family and I still wouldn’t. We can think for ourselves and have the freedom to chose what we put in out bodies.

What makes him think we aren’t?

Trump followers are just plain stupid

Would pick at you but To easy.

Enjoy being a lab rat?

Wish False Fauci would either tell the truth or go away. How about both?

Now that’s funny… Fauci is “special”. He doesn’t go by science, he goes on who’s in office…..

Trump developed the vaccine and never once discouraged against getting it. Kamala Harris did however, some of them just simply don’t want it, and that’s their decision. If you want to get it then get it, if you don’t, then don’t. It’s that simple

Reply to above: Dirty Donnie didn’t develop the vaccine or anything else for that matter. Please give credit to medical science for the development of the vaccine. Remember, Dirty Donnie wanted people to inject bleach.

NEWSFLASH: Pfizer was never a part of operation warp speed. Trump didn’t develop anything!

People aren’t stupid, even though Fauci and others think we are. We can make our own decisions on our health. Most people are getting the caccine.

All Covid vaccines are still experimental.. No thanks, I’ll wait.

Operation Warp speed. Sorry he’s a huge reason we have so many vaccines. Facuci is complete garbage.

So why do you think so many of his followers are refusing the vaccine? If Trump did such a great job bringing us a vaccine, why are 47% of his supporters refusing that vaccine?

Trump would have to actually care about other people first.

Trump didn’t tell anyone he got his vaccine. Someone on his staff told reporters after Trump had left the white house. He was trying to hide it.

He said he got his in a speech in Florida and told everyone go get your shot. I heard him.

Trump’s MAGA supporters continue to follow him. Whether or not those millions who refuse to get the vaccine would listen to him about the matter of vaccines is questionable. Apparently, they will do what they want.

Life has been difficult during the COVID pandemic. Vaccines are a way to help get life back to normal.

Fauci and medical experts are telling everyone to get the vaccine as soon as it is their turn. The vaccines are intended to help stop the spread and bring an end to the deadly pandemic.
