This is not true. politicians expressed hesitation about rushed vaccines not approved or approved under coercion when not supported by studies. They said they would gladly take one when it was authorized based on science, not politics. This is basically what the current president said in debates and he then took it very shortly after that happened, putting his money where his mouth was.

- _-david-_ 5y agoI wasn't as clear as I should have been so I think you are missing what I am saying. I meant to say they were hesitant over the vaccine not that they were anti vaccine. I never said you couldn't find an example. I said you could not find many. Many of the same people who were hesitant of the vaccine are now the biggest supporters. Biden and Harris both said if doctors said it was safe they would take it, but they were still pushing doubt about the safety in their statements. Here are some other examples: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/01/health/eua-coronavirus-vaccine-history/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/01/health/eua-coronavirus-vaccin... https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/521672-cuomo-public-should-be-very-skeptical-about-covid-19-vaccine https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/521672-cuomo-public-sh...
