Candace Owens suggests Trump only touted vaccines because he’s too old to know how to find alternative sources online – By Shalini Nagarajan (Business Insider) / December 26, 2021
- Trump told Candace Owens in an interview last week that vaccines protect people and won’t kill anyone.
- In response, Owens, who is anti-vax, told Instagram followers it was because Trump is “old.”
- His generation doesn’t try to find alternative information or “obscure websites” online, she said.
Donald Trump is backing the COVID-19 vaccine because he is “old,” the conservative activist Candace Owens suggested to her followers this week.
“People oftentimes forget, like, how old Trump is,” she said in an Instagram video posted Thursday. “Like they came from a time before TV, before internet, before being able to conduct their independent research.”
Her comments came after her interview with Trump last Wednesday, where the former president gave the COVID-19 vaccine his strongest endorsement yet, saying that it protects people and won’t kill anyone.
Owens has encouraged vaccine skepticism and repeatedly said that she was not vaccinated.
