I worked in PR/Lobbying for over 20 years and prior to that was a legislative reporter, I've seen the good the bad and the ugly. I know a good/great lobbying/PR campaign when I see one and this was a classic.

Well, since Merck provoked a ferocious backlash I think I'll have to disagree with you on this.

Well, since Merck provoked a ferocious backlash I think I'll have to disagree with you on this.

I've already acknowledged that. However, they still succeeded in getting the vaccine mandated in a number of states BEFORE the backlash --- thus they were successful until that time.

The backlash began because of folks like us on FR who did not like the tactics being taken by Merck and we told our elected officials just that.
