Chelsea Clinton's Thoughts on Donald Trump & White House Staff Getting COVID-19 Vaccine First Might Surprise You
The Coronavirus vaccine was originally intended to be distributed to senior White House officials early and there were a lot of thoughts about this from the general public.
John Ullyot, National Security Council spokesman, initially revealed that “senior officials across all three branches of government will receive vaccinations pursuant to continuity of government protocols established in executive policy.”
Many slammed this decision.
So Trump and his goons kept saying the coronavirus was a hoax, that the cases would all go down to zero, and even held a bunch of rallies spreading the virus. Now White House staffers are first in line to get the vaccine before many elderly patients who are most vulnerable. Sick.

A few hours later, Donald Trump actually said this wouldn’t happen, writing, “People working in the White House should receive the vaccine somewhat later in the program, unless specifically necessary. I have asked that this adjustment be made. I am not scheduled to take the vaccine, but look forward to doing so at the appropriate time. Thank you!”
However, Chelsea Clinton‘s tweet about this topic is now getting some attention for her thoughts about the decision to vaccinate White House staff.
Completely agree with @celinegounder. If we expect @WhiteHouse staff to manage #covid19, they are then critical workers in this moment. We also need the Americans who listen to @realDonaldTrump to see his & his teamโs vote of confidence in the vaccine by being vaccinated.
