There is a video of Kamala Harris declining to get a vaccine if it is developed under Trump administration. I’ll try to find it in a bit. Good morning folks! Edit: Actually she said she would take it if doctors say so, but not if Trump tells her to get one: ▶ this video
The Trump admin closed the borders with China in late January and was accused of being racist and exaggerating the risk by news media and the Democrats. In fact, they're the only people who took it seriously at all. Then OWS was partly responsible for shipping vaccines in record time while the media said it was impossible to do. As for undercutting experts, the current Vice President literally said she wouldn't take the vaccine, implying it couldn't be trusted because Trump was engaged in the rollout [1] while the current President said the vaccine was rushed and that people shouldn't trust it. [2] Numerous "experts" threw FUD at the vaccines, calling them rushed repeatedly. [3] Dr Fauci himself said a vaccine's approval was "rushed" by regulators in some markets. [4] [1] ▶ this video [2] link [3] link [4] link
Kamala Harris is on record(last summer) saying she wouldn’t take the vaccine if Trump told her to take it: ▶ this video
Here's the mainstream media stoking vaccine misinformation repeatedly, including attacking the safety of the vaccine, masks and travel bans. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Dr Fauci: "A vaccine that you make and start testing in a year is not a vaccine that's deployable" [8] Andrew Cuomo: "I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine, and they should be." [9] Kamala Harris: "If Donald Trump Tells Us To Take It, I’m Not Taking It" [10] [1] link [2] link [3] link [4] link [5] link [6] link [7] link [8] link [9] link [10] ▶ this video
You don't even have to imagine. Kamala Harris: "But if Donald Trump tells us to take it, I’m not taking it." ▶ this video The same thing was broadly expressed on twitter at the time too, she was far from alone in that sentiment.
> People have memories. And sometimes they have false memories. For example, regarding: > 8 Months ago Kamala Harris herself said she would NOT get Trump's Vaccine. What she said was that she would take the vaccine if the professionals said it was safe, not if Trump told her to take it [1]. A rather understandable level of skepticism given Trump's peddling of miracle cures such as hydroxychloroquine. [1] ▶ this video
