Gen Z Is Feeling 'Meh' About The Vaccine. The White House Is Calling In The Pop Stars [And Fauci Is Going On A TikTok Tour]

On Wednesday, President Biden lunched with Senate Democrats, hosted governors and mayors for a roundtable on infrastructure and also — hung out with Olivia Rodrigo, an 18-year-old pop star beloved by Generation Z.

Rodrigo, who currently has the No. 1 album in the country and whose song "Drivers License" has been a radio staple for months, recorded public service announcement videos with Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci and made an appearance in the White House briefing room to promote coronavirus vaccines.

Her visit underscores one of the roadblocks to vaccinating more Americans right now. Only about 42 percent of people 18 to 24 have gotten fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's compared with nearly 60% of all adults in the United States. Many young people just aren't in a rush to roll up their sleeves.

Last week, Fauci started showing up on TikTok, appearing for interviews with Gen Z TikTok stars such as Mia Finney who have millions of followers. The administration also launched a campus vaccine challenge and a student COVID-19 corps, among other efforts.

It's difficult work.

Thanks for stopping by, Olivia, and for using your voice to urge young people to get vaccinated. If we all do our part and get the COVID-19 vaccine, we can defeat this virus once and for all. Let’s do this. pic.twitter.com/ovn12CUjLu— President Biden (@POTUS) July 15, 2021

Young People Feel 'Meh' About The Vaccine COVID-19

It never was a concern for them. They called it "the Boomer Remover". Grandpa? Meh.

I thought Fauci was being branded as dishonest and close to criminal about three weeks ago. Even the mainstream media was critical of the little fraud.

That was back in June. What the hell is he doing in July?

Last year, when there was no vaccine, about 1 out of 10 Americans contracted covid. Now that 60% of all adults have been vaxxed the chances of contracting it should be down dramatically from that.

Add the fact that people ages 20 to 24 have a 99.994% chance of surviving an infection (as calculated last November) and it's no wonder at all that they're apathetic about getting an experimental vaccine.

under 50 and in fair health, the odds are the vaccine will do FAR Greater Harm or even Kill you, whereas the odds of the Fauci Flu killing you are the between slim and none.

Any Gen Z male (potential heart inflammation) or female (potential fertility issues) who would take this vaccine before it’s been fully vetted over the long haul must be insane...or not critically thinking for themselves.

pretty soon they’ll be getting “pop stars” to recommend what antibiotics to take for which kinds of infections, which antidepressants to takes, and the best kinds of blood pressure control medications ... who needs physicians who’ve undergone decades of education and training when you have “pop stars”?
