And then the Democrats did take the vaccines. And then the Republicans made it their whole identity to
not take the vaccine. in no small part because Trump mocked anyone who did take the vaccines, dismissed the severity and scale of the pandemic as "Democratic lies" and "fake news" (because he wanted to run on the economy) and refused to do so himself, lest the press see him as "weak." And now Trump, being Trump and going whichever way the wind blows, fully embraces anti-vaccine ideology by endorsing RFK - a well known antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist - and promising to give him "carte blanche" control over numerous health agencies and health policy in general.
Do you recollect?
