Since the inception of the FDA, when else have state governments independently verified drugs like this? It is clearly a signal that one ought not to trust the FDA. Is it any surprise that large cohorts of the democratic party (namely, their non-white cohorts) do not want to get the drug? I am not surprised.

That is exactly what any sane person should say. Trump is pro-vaccine. He has unequivocally said he has had it and thinks it's a good idea. He's just anti-mandate. You can be pro-vaccine (as in you believe others should get it), while being against a mandate. This is insanity. The expectation that one must believe that the government ought to require a vaccine in order to not be anti-vax is quite the shift of goal posts.
- hackingforfun 5y agoI think you make a good point here that someone can be pro-vaccine while being against a mandate. I hadn't thought of it that way. I don't really see many Republicans going out of their way recommending vaccines though, either. Trump got his in secret initially.

You can find plenty more similar statements by Republicans if you bother to look.

- hackingforfun 5y agoThanks for sharing this. Looks like Senator John Cornyn and Senator Mitt Romney support the COVID vaccines, too [1]. Good to know. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/14/us/politics/gop-covid-vaccine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/14/us/politics/gop-covid-vac...
- iammisc 5y agoHave you even bothered watching something like fox news before writing your comments. Literally every story about the covid vax they'll talk about how it's important to speak with your doctor because it's an important tool to fight covid but that it's... Up to you
- iammisc 5y agoExcept Trump is constantly on conservative talk radio pushing the vaccine. In fact, sites like Patriots.win are full of Trump supporters who criticize him for pushing the vax. that's like the only thing they don't like about him. Just the other day he was on hannity pushing the vaccine.
