Former US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, were secretly vaccinated in January before leaving the White House, an investigation by The New York Times revealed on Monday. It has not been revealed if the couple received the first or both doses of the vaccine, nor which of the drugs approved at that time was injected.

The American newspaper The New York Times published exclusively This March 1, former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania were vaccinated against Covid-19 last January before leaving the White House. According to the newspaper, an adviser to the former president confirmed it when asked about it.

The news comes a day after Trump spoke at the closing of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), in which he stated that “everyone should go get their injection,” in which he was his first public intervention since last January 20, the date of the end of his mandate.

This new information contrasts with the attitude taken by members of Joe Biden’s new government team, who publicly displayed their vaccination process to encourage the American population to get vaccinated. It is also surprising by the attitude of several of his supporters, who have expressed their reluctance to receive the antidote.

The recommendation of the health authorities is that people do not get vaccinated until six months after having passed the disease. Not surprisingly, last December a government official said that Trump would not be given the vaccine until it was recommended by the White House medical team, a point that has not been made public to date.

Donald Trump was diagnosed positive for Covid-19 last September, after having underestimated the severity of the disease in the previous months. Later he came to recognize in a series of interviews with journalist Bob Woodward for his book “Rage” that he had done so with the intention of not causing panic among the population.
