For months now, there has been a sort of unholy alliance between the most loyal Donald Trump supporters and anti-vaxxers. But over the weekend, Trump himself hosted a rally in Alabama that appears to have sown the seeds of what will likely be a messy break-up between these groups — and all it took was simply suggesting that people get the vaccine.
While speaking to the crowd in Cullman, a city in Alabama that is currently experiencing a state of emergency because coronavirus cases have completely overwhelmed its hospitals and intensive care units, Trump threw his support behind the vaccine. "And you know what? I believe totally in your freedoms. I do," he told the crowd. "You've got to do what you have to do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines."
