that is a good question. my guess is their medical advisers advised them to be extra cautious, and when it is their lives on the line, they listen to reason.

If that is the case, then -- if they really did give a shit about their fellow Americans -- they should have at least publicized it better.
I know a number of ppl who survived the virus and got the vaccine anyways; they are all younger people but with serious pre-existing conditions.

Bloody thing kept ducking? Fatman couldn't hold his bang-bang straight? Photographer joined the half-million in mid-shot? Fatman hit photographer? The possibilities are endless!

Trump thinks only of Trump. Why that is not clear by now is beyond comprehension. But he know what appeals to many as noted in quote below.
"The president [Trump] is a nationalist, which is not at all the same thing as a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. A nationalist, 'although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,' wrote Orwell, tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world.' Nationalism is relativist, since the only truth is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others. As the novelist Danilo Kiš put it, nationalism 'has no universal values, aesthetic or ethical.' A patriot, by contrast, wants the nation to live up to its ideals, which means asking us to be our best selves. A patriot must be concerned with the real world, which is the only place where his country can be loved and sustained. A patriot has universal values, standards by which he judges his nation, always wishing it well—and wishing that it would do better." Timothy Snyder 'On Tyranny'

Sadly Trump earned the distrust and hatred of the majority of Americans. I never really liked the man (and I still don't). But he was better than Hillary. Then the Dems gave us the Biden/Harris ticket and I had no choice but to vote for Trump a second time. People will talk about bad presidents for ever that is politics.

That's true.
Still, why wouldn't the Toadstools encourage their cult to get vaccinated, by showing how brave and smart they are by publicizing it as other political leaders have done?

I would imagine it has to do with how ex-presidents traditionally behave, even if he was anything but traditional, or he's an asshole, I say both.

Did you get your shot yet? If so,
you've got Trump to thank you know....
for what? doing what every leader of almost every other country did to provide vaccine- use radical democrat socialist policies of government funding of universal health care? to not leave it up to the private sector? to choose winners and losers in the free marketplace, which repubs have always cried about? and still we were not the first country to develop and use vaccines, even with our huge economic advantage over other countries.
and, his policies of delivering vaccine to the states SUCKED....that is why it is so dramatically better now than an actual adult is in charge. ever read anything?

Thank Trump
Joe should be the first one to do so.....A year ago, every single Conservative was repeating Trump's hoax lie.
Because you and Trump lied about COVID from Jan-Mar, so you couldn't be trusted.
Trump might not be President anymore, but the stink he left on you will last your lifetime.
