‘Pray About It’: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Encourages People to Take ‘Trump Vaccine’
By: Tre Goins Phillips
It’s all about free will and personal choice. Hopefully people will after prayerful consideration choose to take the Trump vaccine. One can support taking the vaccine while at the same time advancing individual rights, personal and economic freedom, and religious liberty. Reject controls and mandates.

‘Pray About It’: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Encourages People to Take ‘Trump Vaccine’
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican gubernatorial candidate in Arkansas, revealed Sunday she received a “Trump vaccine” months ago.
Sanders, who served as former President Donald Trump’s press secretary from 2017 to 2019, lauded her erstwhile boss for his work to make vaccinations widely available at breakneck speeds in an editorial published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette .
In the piece, the 38-year-old politician condemned the “misinformation thrown at me by politicians and the media,” all of which made it more difficult, she said, to make a decision on whether to get vaccinated.
“What I found was simple,” Sanders wrote. “Dr. Fauci and the ‘because science says so’ crowd of arrogant, condescending politicians and bureaucrats were wrong about more than their mandates and shutdowns that have inflicted incalculable harm on our people and economy. They also misjudged the Trump vaccine plan, which rolled out just as safely, quickly, and effectively as the Trump administration promised.”
Sanders’ column comes as just north of 36% of the Arkansas population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center .
The former White House spokeswoman said she ultimately made the decision to take the inoculation “based on the advice of my doctor.”
“I determined that the benefits of getting vaccinated outweighed any potential risks,” she wrote. “I was also reassured after President Trump and his family were vaccinated. If getting vaccinated was safe enough for them, I felt it was safe enough for me.”
“It was heartbreaking to witness men and women break down and cry with fear they would lose everything,” she added, referring to the pandemic lockdowns and draconian government restrictions. “It’s something I never want to experience again. I believe the Trump vaccine will help keep our state [Arkansas] open for business and our economy growing.”
While Sanders noted she “believe[s] in freedom and personal responsibility,” stating she understands those who have “expressed sincere concerns” about the vaccines, the gubernatorial candidate said she hopes people “will consider” the rising number of COVID-19 cases as they think about getting inoculated against the virus.
Sanders condemned the pundits and politicians who “have resorted to bribing, mocking, and even name-calling to coerce people into taking the vaccine.”
At the end of her column, she asked readers who haven’t received a vaccination to pray about it and consult their doctors on the issue.
“So to anyone still considering the merits of vaccination,” Sanders wrote, “I leave you with this encouragement: Pray about it, discuss it with your family and your doctor. Filter out the noise and fear-mongering and condescension, and make the best, most informed decision you can that helps your family, community, and our great state be its very best.”

Fuck that bitch.
Gross.
Pathetic comment. You sound like what's her name.

Sarah Sanders?
Vulgarity and misogyny won't encourage people to get the vaccine. If anything, they will deter people.
I think stupidity, more than anything, will deter people from getting the vaccine.
I'm not sure what you mean by stupidity, but I do know that "medical flip-flopping" and vagueness have contributed to vaccine hesitancy.
It’s a new virus, there is a learning curve. Obviously as we learn more the steps we take and recommendations by health professionals are going to evolve and change. You do have to be stupid to not understand that and take it into consideration when discussing what we should or should not be doing.
EVERYONE reluctant to get the vaccine, refusing to get it or take proper precautions, and/or spreading misinformation, in the middle of a pandemic is being stupid.
Calling people stupid because they are acting stupid is apt! And it is just plain stupid to refuse to get (or worse, discourage others to get) the vaccine and take proper precautions while in the middle of a pandemic.
People refusing to get the vaccine or even discouraging it during a pandemic, among other things.
That only highlights the general stupidity people display. Because they see "vagueness" and such, thy react emotionally, irrationally, and outright refuse to get the vaccine or spread misinformation about it. Some people dismiss medical information about the vaccine and virus, but instead readily accept any misinformation, especially if it plays on fears. Science is learning and dealing with Covid in real time. Of course information may be vague or uncertain along the way. But as we learn more, then the available information becomes increasingly solid and valid. We know a lot more now about the virus and vaccine now than we did a year ago. At this point, if one continues to refuse to get the vaccine or follows the misinformation out there, then that is being stupid.
--------------------------------------------------------
"MY BODY, MY CHOICE" seems to be biting the Biden Administration, CDC, and national teacher union presidents in the ass as are months of contradictory, mixed messaging regarding masks, vaccines, in-school education for our least vulnerable ... our children.
-------------------
PS - I have no skin in what's become a political game, because my family and I chose vaccinations in January 2021 and no longer need masks. In future, we might need a booster, but that's typical for many viruses (for many decades, I needed a smallpox vaccine every time I traveled to/from a foreign country). The scientific data is still unknown regarding Covid-19 boosters.
Like I said, stupid. People are being irresponsible and inconsiderate.
Which is unfortunate, but not surprising. This should not be about politics. It's about public health.
Good for you and your family. If only more people followed your example.
Possibly. But that should not be an issue.
Indeed. Like I said, we're learning on the fly.
It's not people choosing to get the vaccine that's the problem. It's those choosing not to (and those spreading misinformation about the vaccine) that are the problem. I've already said that. And it's not the "Trump vaccine." It's the Moderna/Pfizer/J&J vaccine. I don't see Trump's name on any of them. See, that's misinformation as well as a lie, which is part of the problem.
Trump's name isn't on it. He didn't develop it. Pfizer & Moderna's name is on it. Therefore, it's not a "Trump vaccine." Calling it such is not oy erroneous, it's foolish.
Repeating that nonsense doesn't make it any more true. But by your "logic," if it's the Trump vaccine, then covid is at least partially the Trump virus.
Did Dr. Fauci have anything to do with the virus? Likening Dr. Fauci with the spread of the virus is beyond ridiculous. The virus came from China and Trump allowed it to spread in the critical, early months.
Prayer has been proven to do absolutely nothing aside from making someone feel good. If prayer worked, Covid would have been eradicated a long time ago. Sanders is an idiot and no one should take medical advice from that cockeyed cow.
At the end of the day, vaccines work. In the last two months, 99%+ of the people that have died from covid were unvaccinated. My son-in-law and his wife are both currently battling covid, (I was told last night), both are RN's that take care of covid patients. Neither was vaccinated because they said they were being, "very careful". Also, his wife's parents, (extreme evangelical right wingers), told them that "God told them to not get the vaccine", because, "he would protect them". I guess now they will have to try prayer, which will have the same effect.
Fllip-Flopper Fauci is a quack, and the CDC can't be trusted
Pathetic comment. You sound like what's his name.
Yea, Fauci bad, trump good. Anyone that would take medical advice from a guy that raw dogged a porn star, suggested ingesting bleach and shoving lightbulbs up your ass deserves to catch covid.
Literally the only reason the right wing has a problem with Fauci is because he refused to back up trump's lies, so trump vilified him and his base fell right in line because they are sheep.
But more reliable and trustworthy than any other sources out there. Unless someone is a medical professional (specifically a specialist in infectious diseases and epidemiology) I don’t care what their opinion is, I am ignoring it. I will listen to the advice of doctors and scientists, not Joe shit the rag man’s Facebook post that he typed up at the public library before heading to the shelter.
I'm good with whatever will get shots into arms.
A lot of anger simply because of who she is. If her words gets one more shot in an arm what is the big deal with who delivers the message? This is the problem with the pandemic, it's been so politicized from the beginning that half the people will bitch about what someone from the other side says even though both sides are saying to get the vaccine. What a fucking world when so many people just want to shoot the messenger rather than look and discuss the message.
I guess what gets me is what took her so long? Had she, Trump, and other people on the right that (for some reason) conservatives listen to been preaching get vaccinated all along we could be done with this bullshit. But they have been more interested in scoring political points this whole time and now we are having another resurgence being driven by those who won’t get the vaccine.
I guess they waited so long and played so many fucking games that things like this just kinda ring hollow now. I hope more people get vaccinated and her words help, but goddamnit. They waited til the fire spread to several houses before deciding to call the fire department.
According to CBP/ICE, thousands of eligible illegal aliens (30%) who now live throughout the USA refused free vaccinations when they entered at the southern border.
Here is an idea, don’t be a dick head, get the vaccine and then we can finally move past the pandemic. Be a responsible citizen instead of a selfish prick.
That may be one of the stupidest things a public figure has uttered in recent memory.
The implication of her words is that there is a competitor source of knowledge to science
‘because science says so’
and while that may be true in areas unrelated to science, it is not true when it comes to things like medicine and treatment of contagions.
I think I have said several times how surprised I am that more Trump supporters haven't been pushing the "Trump vaccine" all along. The partisan collective about-face we have seen with the vaccine is mad.
