Donald Trump’s daughter has broken her three-month silence on social media to post pictures of herself receiving the blow. She captioned the message: “Today I got the picture !!! I hope you too! Thank you Nurse Torres !!! “
Ivanka confirmed in a statement to AP that she was inoculated with the Pfizer vaccine.
However, his social media post sparked a backlash among anti-vaxxers and some American conservatives.
One Twitter user wrote: “Even though I love you Ivanka, I don’t agree with healthy people who get vaccinated.”
Another anti-vaxxer posted: “No, don’t put that in my body.”
Referring to conspiracy theories, a third Twitter user said, “No thanks! With a 99% survival rate, I will be successful. “
Despite the influx of anti-vaxxers who responded to Ivanka’s post, other social media users defended her vaccination.
One Twitter user said: “I know you are getting backlash from both sides, as a matter of principle I appreciate your attempt to encourage Trump supporters to get vaccinated.
“There will always be echo chambers on Twitter, but maybe you’ve changed someone’s mind about their anti-vaxx stance and saved lives.”

Representative Mike Doyle called on social media executives to dismantle the so-called “dozen of disinformation.”
The Center for Combating Digital Hate (CCDH) analyzed more than 812,000 jab-related posts on Twitter and Facebook. They found that 65% of anti-vaccine posts came from the “disinformation dozen.”
The CCDH report said: “Anti-vaccine campaigners on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter reach over 59 million subscribers, making them the biggest and most important social media platforms for anti-vaxxers. . ”
