hey magats, What kind of fucking chumps are you?
Former President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump quietly received the Covid-19 vaccine at the White House in January, a Trump advisor told NBC News on Monday.
It is not clear which type of vaccine they received and they were not disclosed at the time by the Trump White House. The official White House photographer was also not present to document the event, according to an official with direct knowledge.
This news was first reported by The New York Times.
Trump, who spent months publicly downplaying the virus' impact and eschewing mask-wearing, announced in October that he had tested positive for Covid-19. The first lady also tested positive, but they both later recovered.

This story is dated March. Why wasn't it wall to wall in March when it was announced?
This one is on the news media. Because if you are STILL waiting for the former guy to be doing the right thing and bemoaning the fact that he didn't, you need to have your head examined.
Wide distribution and attention on this news story could have saved lives.
