  CNN is not "the left". Nor did Kamala Harris throw doubt on an existing and proven vaccine. No vaccine had been approved at that point, whereas Trump was blundering through the pandemic response in search of any way to save his political hide. There was a lot of evidence Trump put pressure on public health officials to downplay the pandemic and put people at more risk than necessary. Trump had already been known to be conman before he was elected. Everything we learned since only put more details on that fact.

    > Nor did Kamala Harris throw doubt on an existing and proven vaccine They did exist, were 6+ months and several stages into trials & were given temporary authorization only 2 months latter. She fomented fear & distrust about the safety of vaccines to score talking points in a debate. Not sure why you think she should get a free pass.

      You are completely lying. The vaccines weren't approved yet, end of story. Trump admitted in interviews with Bob Woodward that he was lying about the pandemic. What more proof do you need for him to be completely untrustworthy on the topic?
