Reminder: The COVID Vaccines Are About Party Loyalty not Public Health

We’ve visited and revisited numerous issues relating to the alleged COVID vaccines, their efficacy, side effects or harms, and especially policy like mandates or passports. But there’s one point, in particular, we need to revisit.

When Donald Trump was president, most progs said they wouldn’t get the vaccine because – get this, science! That was their messaging, up and down the fourth estate. And it showed up in polling.

 

 

Trump didn’t have anything to do with the actual science behind the vaccine, but non-supporters expressed concern which, for the more vocal, translated into no damn way.

 

“I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about,” Harris told CNN’s Dana Bash around the same time.

 

That sums up the establishment Left’s position until Biden set foot in Oval Office. At that point, the same vaccines (and science!) would be so fabulous that everyone would want them. Need them. They said, everyone. If you dared to take their pre-election position, you were (much like with elections) a denier.

The term, like opinions, only applies to political opponents who oppose the current position of the Democrat machine. And there is no denying it. This was never about public health, and after two years of living with their demands, we know that to be true.

Harms are irrelevant in the wake of preferred policy, and that’s never going to change. The question is, and continues to be, how much damage will it take before a super-majority of voters accept that and cast more ballots to remove them than they can fake?
