I was a high school teaching in NYC. They have a number of shots you are required to get and I had all of them. I am not anti vax, never prohibited any of my children from getting their shots. I had no issue with them trying to make a vaccine for Covid nor with Trump using Warp speed to get it out rapidly.
The issues I had were as follows
1. When we asked questions about it we were told to shut up, if you question Fauci you are questioning science. I am a science teacher and so that was particularly offensive to me.
2. Fauci told us that getting the vaccine would give us better immunity than simply recovering from Covid. I wanted to know why that was since it was the opposite of what he had said before. Instead of answering he told us to shut up. They did not provide any evidence this was true.
3. They said that the vaccine would prevent you from giving the virus to others if you were to get sick, I wanted to know how that worked so I could explain it to my students, it was never explained nor was any evidence given that it was true.
4. They wanted to mandate it to kids even though kids were not getting sick much less dying. That didn't make sense.
5. They prohibited Ivermectin and HCQ, two things that have a proven track record of being safe and effective. That did not make any sense in a pandemic, you would think it would be all hands on deck.
6. The recommended treatment of Remdesivir and using a ventilator had a 90% kill rate, that seemed 10x worse than doing nothing. That was a red flag.
7. They mandated this illegally.
8. They didn't provide the information about the research and studies, also against the law.
So please tell me where I am exempting Trump?
Some complain that Trump didn't fire Fauci. If Trump had fired Fauci during the pandemic he would have been impeached. The whole country trusted Fauci and less than 50% trusted Trump during the pandemic, and not for medical advice. Second, none of these questionable acts about Fauci took place until after Trump lost the election, after they were selling the vaccine to the public in 2021, so it is idiotic to say Trump should have fired Fauci.
