The Biden administration has previously been <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/12\/peter-alexander-jen-psaki-joe-biden-speech-donald-trump-vaccine-operation-warp-speed\/\">reluctant<\/a> to give Trump credit for COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>The president made more than one reference to Trump during Tuesday\u2019s speech.

If you have the mandate, the mandate will destroy people\u2019s lives \u2014 it destroys people\u2019s lives, just as the vaccine saves people,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The former president went on to suggest that convincing people to get the vaccine is \u201ca question of tone\u201d and \u201ctrust.\u201d He also gave credit to natural immunity, pointing out that those who have already had COVID-19 may be \u201cin pretty good shape of not getting it again, or getting it in a much lighter way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump thanked President Joe Biden after the leader of the U.S. gave the former administration credit Tuesday for getting vaccines to the American public.Biden, while giving remarks &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":125,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1141435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1141435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/125"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1141435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1141435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1141435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1141435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1141435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
