TRUMP SURGEON GENERAL SAYS HE PLANS TO VACCINATE 11-YEAR-OLD SOON

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams says he will get his 11-year-old daughter vaccinated as soon as possible.

Adams, who served in former President Trump‘s administration, told The Dallas Morning News that both of his sons are vaccinated, and that he planned on vaccinating his daughter once children are eligible.

“I’m a doctor, a former lab researcher, a public health expert — but I’m also a dad,” Adams told the newspaper. “And COVID was the No. 6 leading cause of death in this country for children in September.”

Adams has been vocal about the need for vaccinations and allowing public health officials to make decisions amid orders barring local authorities from imposing mask mandates.

Speaking to the Dallas newspaper, Adams said it bothered him that local leaders are having their authority taken away for political reasons and that people who are not vaccinated are being demonized.

“We need Trump people and Biden people to get vaccinated,” Adams said. “We need to engage them all.”
