It sounds like her opinion is that she will defer to trained virologists.

It sounds like her opinion is that she will defer to trained virologists.
- Vysero 6y agoThat's completely beside the point. What I asked is, why should I care what her opinion on the mater is? Why was this quote included in this article? Also it doesn't "sound like" that at all. You could not possibly make that judgment based on the two sentences included in the quote.
- hn_check 6y agoShe was asked by CNN, given that she's running on the Biden-Harris ticket. No one particularly cares whether you care or not, but she is clearly a rather important person right now and was asked this question given that public health has marched to political drums rather than safety drums lately.
- Vysero 6y agoReally? Considering the article is talking about how these things could be politically motivated I find it pretty dang odd to then go on by quoting a politicians opinion on the mater...
- hackyhacky 6y agoWho better to ask about politics than a politician?
- meheleventyone 6y agoYou seem to be trying to say something but trail off into weak points all the time. Why would you not talk to the opposition about a politically motivated issue made by the President?
- Vysero 6y agoFunny.. the article doesn't seem to have any quotes from politicians supporting Trumps view point. Had there been one, I would have called it out as well, but their isn't.. is there?
- meheleventyone 6y agoAs per the article the administration view on the matter is widely known. As is their widespread lying surrounding the issue.
- blackflame7000 6y agoHow is an expedited vaccine political? It’s the author that’s asserting political motivation with assumptive logic at best and borderline anti-vaxer at worst. People are smarter than you think and they can pick up on subtle cues of bias. I know i’ll get downvoted for this because that’s how people on this website are, but the democrats have completely botched the covid/blm crisis as of late and their credibility is tanking. Just talk to people but pretend you’re a trump supporter and I think you might be shocked what you hear
- meheleventyone 6y agoI mean come on. Is anyone buying it’s just a coincidence? If you really do I’d take a critical look at what they want from you. Votes for Trump. I’d also be extremely wary of anecdotal chats as widespread evidence of anything.
- Vysero 6y agoAre you buying that it's just a coincidence that the author quoted the opinion of the vice president of the Democratic party in an article that's clearly in opposition of the view point of the leader of the Republican party? What's that you said about taking a critical look again?
- takeda 6y ago> Just talk to people but pretend you’re a trump supporter and I think you might be shocked what you hear I'm. All from G5 causing COVID-19, down to microchips in the vaccine.
- bbb_hahno 6y agoOh shut the fuck up you passive-aggressive autistic cunt.
- landryraccoon 6y agoIt seems odd to write an impassioned comment about how little one cares about someone else’s opinion. Wouldn’t shrugging and then immediately forgetting what they think and moving on be more consistent with your claimed state of mind?
- blackflame7000 6y agoHe’s pointing out that the article has political undertones. If it were purely about the virus, kamala harris, or any politician for that matter, wouldn't have even been mentioned
- snowwrestler 6y agoOf course it has political undertones; the only reason these companies felt compelled to issue this statement was to counter the widely-spread fear that the sitting president of the U.S. would attempt to corrupt the standard vaccine process to his political benefit.
- blackflame7000 6y agoAnd what basis do you have to believe such treasonous claims? CNN told you so? What motivation could they possibly have? Oh yeah, to get you to vote democrat. Don’t be naive.
- landryraccoon 6y agoCool your jets man. If you are an American you should be aware that criticizing the President is patriotic, not treasonous. It was patriotic to criticize Obama, just as it is patriotic to criticize the current president.
- blackflame7000 6y agoThe entire arguments of the left can be summarized as Orange Man Bad despite having no new wars, record 401ks, tax breaks for the middle class (I got one), the first president to openly support gay marriage upon taking office. (none of that obama 6 year in change of mind bullshit because midterms are over), Passed the first step act that freed people incacerated by Joe Biden's crime bill, etc. The reason why the democrats are going to lose in November is because they cried wolf too many times. Charlottesville is a perfect example. Anyone who listen to the full transcript can tell clear as day what Trump said vs what people tried to allege. The mocking of the crippled guy was another one. You can tell the left is panicking too. They are shutting down comments, censoring ideas, intimidating naysayers, and basically devolving into the fascists they say they hate. Don't believe me? I'll pay you $1000 to wear a BLM hat to a Trump rally, and a MAGA hat to a BLM rally and you tell me which one was more accepting.
- anamexis 6y agoBecause the article is about is about political involvement tainting public trust in the vaccine development process, and she is a prominent politician who recently made remarks about the matter.
- Vysero 6y ago"Because the article is about is about political involvement tainting public trust" - and how does quoting a political candidates opinion on something she knows nothing about not doing exactly that to this article? .. you have to be kidding me.
- hackyhacky 6y agoThose are two questions. (a) No one can make you care about anything. You are totally free to live in apathy. (b) Her quote was included because she is a prominent political figure in the US, and her position is explicitly contrasted with that of the current administration. This contrast is relevant because of the upcoming election.
- meddlepal 6y agoBecause shes running as the VP to the most powerful political office in the world?
- jaas 6y agoBecause she's a U.S. Senator who may be the Vice President soon. That's why people care, even if you don't. You know that already so please spare us the personal commentary masked as a question.
- blackflame7000 6y agoWhen did becoming a US senator give you expertise on determining the scientific merit of a vaccine?
- Vysero 6y ago"Because she's a U.S. Senator who may be the Vice President soon. That's why people care, even if you don't." This is exactly my point. You are part of the problem the article was pointing out. I personally, don't care what her opinion is because she's not an expert. Just like I don't care what Trump's opinion is because he's not an expert. The fact that the article says I should shows that it's politically biased, and the hypocrisy of talking about how political motivations are causing problems while simultaneous politically charging your own article is disgusting.
- vikramkr 6y agobecause she's a public leader and vaccines dont work if people don't take them, and if people see people in positions of power avoiding the vaccine, they're going to be inclined to do the same. The science of getting the vaccine to work is only a part of the process of ending this pandemic. The enfire endeavor is useless if people don't take the vaccine because they don't trust it. And the everyday person is not a virologist.
- dekhn 6y agoI care because she is my future vice president. It was clear what her intent was.
- takeda 6y agoThe 1976 swine flu vaccine was similarly rushed and look how it turned out. I trust scientist to provide something that is safe, but if their decisions are overridden by a politician (doesn't matter whether Republican or Democrat) that is something that seriously dissolves that trust.
