Trump Supporter Calls Him ‘Most Evil’ Person For Promoting COVID-19 Vaccine

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has claimed that former President Donald Trump may be "one of the most evil men who has ever lived" after the latter recently said that COVID-19 vaccines are safe.

"This is an emergency Christmas Day warning to President Trump. You are either completely ignorant about the so called 'vaccine' gene therapy that you helped ram through with Operation Warp Speed, or you are one of the most evil men who has ever lived," Jones said during last Saturday's episode of his radio show, InfoWars, The Independent reported.

The 47-year-old, who has lost several legal battles after falsely claiming that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 was a hoax, gave the "warning" after Trump praised COVID-19 vaccines and encouraged conservatives to not only take the shot, but to celebrate it and see it as a conservative victory, according to the outlet.

"[The COVID-19 vaccine] is one of the greatest achievements of mankind... I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines. All are very, very good," Trump said in an interview with Candace Owens during an episode of her eponymous show released last Wednesday.

Owens, who opposed vaccines, claimed "more people have died under COVID this year," but Trump insisted that "vaccines work."

"The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don't take their vaccine. But it's still their choice, and if you take the vaccine you're protected," Trump told Owens.

Additionally, the former president noted that "the results of the vaccine are very good."

Jones, who is also being investigated by authorities for his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection, called his former ally a "coward" and urged him to "turn back" in response to the remarks, a report by Forbes said.

Owens later claimed that Trump's views on vaccines were a result of the 75-year-old's age and his reliance on "mainstream media."

"People oftentimes forget that, like, how old Trump is. He comes from a generation - I’ve seen other people that are older have the exact same perspective, like, they came from a time before TV, before internet, before being able to conduct their independent research. And everything that they read in a newspaper that was pitched to them, they believed that that was a reality," Owens said.

Trump faced a similar backlash when he revealed at a Texas event earlier this month that he received his COVID-19 booster shot, which resulted in what he claimed "a very tiny group" among the crowd giving him boos.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains that COVID-19 vaccines are "safe and effective" and that "serious safety problems are rare."

The U.S. has so far reported a total of 52,280,854 COVID-19 cases and 816,609 deaths, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins University.
