Right call or wrong call? And yes, he encouraged people to get vaccinated. Politifact even called Rachel Maddow out on her claim that he didn't. You really should check into things before you opine on them.
PolitiFact - What Trump said to encourage COVID-19 vaccine use
But is it true that as president, Trump "never encouraged Americans to get vaccinated," as Maddow claimed?
In short, no. Trump’s public comments about the vaccines were typically in reference to his administration’s efforts to fast-track their development. But in several cases, he touted the life-saving potential of the vaccines. And in
a tweet, Trump gave the encouragement Maddow said he never did during his time in the White House.
"The Vaccine and the Vaccine rollout are getting the best of reviews," Trump
tweeted Dec. 17, one day before the Food and Drug Administration cleared a second vaccine for use. "Moving along really well. Get those ‘shots’ everyone!"
