Cher says she'll take Covid-19 vaccine only after Joe Biden gets it, Internet agrees: 'Right there with you'

Cher said, 'I Said I Would Never get Vaccine as long trump was in White House. Moment Joe Gets Vaccinated I will Get in line & Get my vaccination. This has Nothing to Do With my Love For Joe'

Cher had earlier promised that she won't get a Covid-19 vaccination while President Donald Trump is in the White House. The artiste has now made some changes to her initial statement, saying that she will take the vaccine but only once president-elect Joe Biden is vaccinated. Cher had campaigned hard for Biden and claimed that she knows he would "never put us or our country in danger".

She took to Twitter on Wednesday, November 18, to share, "I Said I Would Never get Vaccine as long a trump was in White House. Moment Joe Gets Vaccinated I will Get in line & Get my vaccination. This has Nothing to Do With my Respect,& Love For Joe.I Know Him..HE WOULD NEVER PUT US OR OUR COUNTRY IN DANGER."

Earlier this year, Cher had said that she would refuse to take the coronavirus vaccine under Trump's presidency and had claimed that it would be unsafe to do so. Her earlier tweet had read, "I’ve gotten Vaccines during my life,1st One I Remember was Polio,BUT THERE IS NO FKNG WAY IM TAKING A VACCINE THAT TRUMP WONT LET GO THROUGH THE THIRD & MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY TRIAL.WINNING AT ANY COST IS ALL HE CARES ABOUT. 176K .NOW,300K BY DEC. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”."

Many social media users commented on Cher's post and seemed to be in agreement with her. One such user shared, "It’s too bad Joe is not president right now! Has everyone seen trumps Twitter?? I swear he’s acting like a bratty kid that needs to go to timeout or something!! He goes on and on about the election and nothing about the virus."

Another user added, "I am right there with you. I cannot wait for a vaccine to become available. We need to get back to a normal life....where we aren’t afraid all the time." Yet another commented, "Oh Cher. As a nurse I can tell you they will guinea pig us health care workers and care facilities first. It scares the hell out of me to get a vaccine that was rushed through so quickly not knowing long term effects. But as a nurse, I don't think they'll give us any choices."

Cher has been very vocal about her disapproval of Trump and had previously declared that "our lives depend" on Trump being voted out of office in November. She had taken to Twitter in September to share that he's going to "steal power from the people". "Wonder what I'm doing up." "Making plan. Trump & His Dynasty planning on taking Over America. He has told us what He'll do. He's Going To Do What dictators have done to steal Power from the people, from Time immemorial. We must vote in #'s Never seen before. OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT."

Just days before this tweet, Cher called Trump a "mass murderer" and called for him to be sentenced to 'death'. "THERE’S A BLAME 4 KILLING SOMEONE," Cher wrote. "ITS CALLED 'MURDER'. IF YOU MURDER MORE THAN ONE PERSON YOU ARE A MASS MURDERER. THERE ARE MANY PUNISHMENTS FOR DIFFERENT DEGREES OF MURDER. BUT WHEN SOMEONE 'KNOWINGLY 'MURDERS' PEOPLE... THE PUNISHMENT IS DEATH. Trump’s a mass murderer… hhmm.''

However, she had since deleted her tweet.
