President Donald Trump was booed at a rally Saturday in Alabama after he told supporters they should get vaccinated.

"And you know what? I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You've got to do what you have to do," Trump said. "But I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines."

Some boos rang out from the crowd, who were largely maskless.

"No, that's OK. That's all right. You got your freedoms," Trump said, echoing rhetoric from opponents of mask and vaccination mandates. "But I happened to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. OK? I'll call up Alabama, I'll say, hey, you know what? But [the vaccine] is working. But you do have your freedoms you have to keep. You have to maintain that."

Covid cases and hospitalizations are surging in large parts of the South because of the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus. Cullman, where the rally was hosted, is experiencing a rise in cases that has matched its previous peak from late December. The city declared a Covid state of emergency Thursday to provide extra emergency support for the rally.

Alabama has the lowest vaccination rate in the U.S., with just more than 36 percent of its population having been fully inoculated, according to an NBC News tracker. Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican, has said "the unvaccinated folks" are to blame for Covid's resurgence in the state.

Nationwide, the overwhelming majority of Covid hospitalizations and deaths are among unvaccinated people.

A Kaiser Family Foundation vaccination tracking poll released this month found that Republicans were the second-least-likely demographic group to be vaccinated, above only uninsured Americans under 65. While 57 percent of Republicans have received at least one dose of a vaccine or say they will get a shot as soon as possible, 40 percent say that they never will or will do so only if it's required or that they are still in wait-and-see mode. The 40 percent total is the second highest among the 23 demographic groups surveyed.

Seriously, this is the best you can do.  'Delta variant' ... a opinion piece, almost 4 years old 

 

This, before everyone knew the vaccine was not tested, and based on lies ... IMHO

Only info available, allowed  (at the time) from the corrupt ... IMHO ... CDC, FDA, WHO & of course Fauci 🙄

Guessing the OP was hoping, as I don't think most read links in OPs, and just going for the eye catching headliner.

 

Doesn't say much for his opinion of his fellow lefties' intelligence, he was hoping to join in, for yet another Trump bashing.

 

Endless desperation, and clear indication of derangement, and not having a life.  Imagine nothing better to do with morning coffee than searching out old headlines & posting ...
