> **MEDIA WATCH**--In hopes of spurring wary Americans to get the COVID vaccine, two national ad campaigns [launched ](https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142710233)Thursday starring all four former presidents - Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter - who along with their wives urge people, "The science is clear...This is our shot...Now it's up to you."
>
> A joint[ project ](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/ex-presidents-club-mostly-comes-together-encourage-vaccinations-n1260496)of the Covid Collaborative and the [Ad Council](https://www.adcouncil.org/), a nonprofit that produces PSAs, the ads feature a one-[minute](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCza6UGmRTk) spot showing them all being vaccinated, and a 30-[second](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li-oxKhvZy0) one of Clinton, Bush and Obama at Biden's inauguration, where Obama calls the vaccine "the first step to ending the pandemic and moving our country forward."
>
> Noticeably missing from this pageant of good will and commonality is the former guy, who secretly got vaccinated this winter. He issued a "s[tatement](https://tinyurl.com/4jrznr5k)" proving that once a sick, racist, subhuman ghoul, always a sick, racist, subhuman ghoul: "I hope everyone remembers when they're getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China virus) vaccine, that if I wasn't president you wouldnt be getting that beautiful "shot" for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn't be getting it at all.

 I hope everyone remembers!" - a projectile so vile the person [posting](https://www.commondreams.org/further/2021/03/11/%20https:/twitter.com/secupp/status/1369811259797999626) it felt compelled to add, "This 'statement' is REAL." Ignoring the lie - scientists had spent years [preparing ](https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2021/01/26/moderna-covid-vaccine-science-fast/6555783002/)for what they assumed would be another pandemic - most people shot back with the obvious, obscene rejoinder: "I hope everyone remembers that if he weren't president there wouldn't be 528,000 American souls. May they Rest In Peace."

[There was ](https://www.commondreams.org/further/2021/03/11/%20https:/twitter.com/secupp/status/1369811259797999626)also, "If we ignore him will he go away," "Pathetic," "Good lord, this man had the nuclear codes," and "Stop feeding the beast."

Mostly, there was this: "I just hope everyone remembers I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder &amp; because of that I'm a fragile little fuck nugget who has to put shit like this out into the world because without praise &amp; adoration I would literally ball up into a fetal position on the floor &amp; die."

Do, please.
