In a surprising announcement on social media, former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz revealed on Wednesday morning that he has not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The post, made at 6:31 a.m. on X (formerly Twitter), caught many followers off guard. Gaetz, known for his controversial statements and unwavering support for former President Donald Trump, stated simply, “I never took the jab.”
This statement from Gaetz comes at a time when vaccine distribution is in full swing across the country, with health officials urging individuals to get vaccinated to slow the spread of the virus. Gaetz’s refusal to get the vaccine has raised concerns among some about the message he may be sending to his supporters and constituents.
The decision not to get vaccinated is a personal one, but health experts recommend vaccination as a safe and effective way to protect oneself and others from the potentially deadly virus. Despite this recommendation, Gaetz’s stance on the vaccine aligns with his controversial persona and outspoken views on political issues.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact communities across the United States, vaccination efforts remain a key component of the response. It is unclear what impact Gaetz’s announcement will have on public perception of the vaccine and efforts to promote vaccination in the midst of the ongoing crisis. Critics and supporters alike will likely be closely watching Gaetz’s actions and statements in the coming days.
