President Donald Trump's physical results were released on Friday night, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt boasting that he is in excellent health and his heart is functionally 14 years younger than his biological age.
But the report also said Trump received a COVID booster vaccine — a detail not lost on people furious at Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an infamous anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, who moved to restrict the categories of people for whom COVID vaccines are recommended.
Commenters on social media quickly pointed out the irony, with many making fun of it and others simply outraged.
"Hey MAGA anti-vaxxers, Trump got a COVID booster shot," wrote the Blue Georgia account.
"Dear MAGA — guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump," wrote health analyst Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding. "Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster."
"So Trump’s doctor says that Trump got the updated Covid vaccine and a flu vaccine shot," wrote political scientist Norm Ornstein. "Even as he says nothing while his secretary of HHS conducts a war against these vaccines. What a disgrace."
