Former US President Donald Trump was booed by a portion of an audience in Dallas on Sunday when he said he had received a COVID-19 booster shot, according to video of the closed press event that was shared on social media.
The comments by Trump -- who, despite championing his administration's efforts to develop Covid vaccines, rarely discusses his own vaccination and has largely declined to encourage others to get it -- came during a stop of his tour with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.
"Yes," Trump says to a smattering of boos in the audience."Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't," Trump says in the video, seemingly trying to quiet the boos."That's all right, it's a very tiny group over there." Unvaccinated people face a 10 times greater risk of testing positive and 20 times greater risk of dying from Covid-19 than fully vaccinated people who have also received a booster, according to data published recently by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Trump, who contracted Covid as president, received his first Covid-19 vaccination out of view of the press before leaving office. CNN reported months later that his vaccination was not recorded by official photographers or videographers, according to a person familiar with the matter. And Trump did not participate in a Covid-19 public service announcement that featured all other living former presidents.
