>“If the public health professionals, if Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely,” Harris said during the live debate in Salt Lake City, when she was asked if Americans should take a vaccine, if the Trump administration were to approve one either before or after the election. “But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it. I’m not taking it.”
That seems like a perfectly reasonable stance. If Biden was promoting some other medical treatment against the advice of the FDA, I'd be skeptical of that too.

"The Biden administration’s decisions over when to administer coronavirus vaccine boosters are triggering turmoil within the Food and Drug Administration, frustrating regulators and sparking fear that political pressures will once again override the agency’s expertise."
- praxulus 5y agoIf my doctor and reputable public health experts disagree with the FDA (or with scientists who resigned from the FDA in protest), that could certainly be enough to overcome my skepticism. I'd have to consider it on a case-by-case basis. What wouldn't convince me is the president's opinion on the matter.
