An interesting wrinkle to this is all the media personalities and Democrat politicians (including our current VP) that we’re staunchly opposed to the vaccine while Trump was still president.
Now that Biden is president, it is apparently a different vaccine (for both sides of the aisle)
- tzs 5y agoWhat the current VP said during the previous administration was that she was not confident that the previous administration would base their recommendations on what scientists said rather than what is politically expedient, and that she would go with what the scientists said when it came to evaluating COVID measures. See https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jul/23/tiktok-posts/biden-harris-doubted-trump-covid-19-vaccines-not-v/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jul/23/tiktok-pos...
- unnamed76ri 5y agoWhat she actually said: “If Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely,” Harris said. “But if Donald Trump tells us to take it, I’m not taking it.” And again, she is just one example among very very many.
- tzs 5y agoGenerally, when someone says "If X ... but if Y" they are talking about the cases X && !Y and !X && Y. For the X && Y case you need to look at other statements. In Harris' case her other statements are that she did not consider Trump a creditable source of COVID treatment information. Harris is saying that if Dr. Fauci says to take it she would regardless of what Trump says, and that if Trump says to take it but Dr. Fauci does not she would not take it.
