Trump Critics Who Called Vaccine Timetable Reckless Now Say It's Reckless NOT to Take the Vaccine
Townhall.com ^ | March 25, 2021 | Larry Elder

Posted on 03/25/2021 3:34:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

Dr. Anthony Fauci wants former President Donald Trump to tell his supporters to take the COVID-19 vaccine. It is true that a March 2021 NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that 47% of Trump 2020 supporters said they would not get vaccinated. It is also true that Trump has urged Americans to take the vaccine. He called it safe and said that he and Melania have been vaccinated.

But after attacking Trump as a lying incompetent who makes outlandish statements, why should anyone on the left be surprised by skepticism about the vaccine?

On May 15, then-President Trump announced Operation Warp Speed, a $10 billion program with a goal of producing 300 million vaccine doses to administer to Americans by January. But three days earlier, Fauci testified before Congress and said, "There's no guarantee that the vaccine is actually going to be effective." Two days after that, Rick Bright, the former head the federal government's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, testified: "Normally, it takes up to 10 years to make a vaccine. ... A lot of optimism is swirling around a 12- to 18-month time frame, if everything goes perfectly. We have never seen everything go perfectly."

In September, Fauci gave an interview in which he said he "never liked" the program's name because it "suggests, incorrectly ... that you're prematurely putting something out there that isn't entirely safe." Fauci earlier cautioned that the name "subliminally" implies "reckless speed." And he wonders why some might be reluctant to take the vaccine?

Immediately after Trump's announcement of Operation Warp Speed, CNN analyst Jessica Huseman tweeted, "Go ahead and flag this tweet for when we do not have that vaccine by the end of the year." Joe Lockhart, former Bill Clinton White House press secretary, tweeted: "There is not an objective scientist on TV right now that believe anything that was said at the press conference who believes anything like this can be done by the end of the year. Caveat, I'm not watching Fox." Then-Sen. Kamala Harris, in September, said: "There is very little that we can trust that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth." Later that same month Joe Biden said: "I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust Donald Trump. And at this point, the American people can't, either."

Remember this debate exchange between Harris and then-Vice President Mike Pence? "If the public health professionals, if Dr. (Anthony) Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take (the COVID-19 vaccine), I'll be the first in line to take it, absolutely," Harris said. "But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it."

In response, Pence said: "We're going to have a vaccine in record time -- in unheard-of time -- in less than a year. We have five companies in Phase 3 clinical trials. And we're right now producing tens of millions of doses. So the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine, if the vaccine emerges during the Trump administration, I think is unconscionable. And Senator, I just ask you: Stop playing politics with people's lives."

For decades, Democrats have complained about governmental systemic racism against Blacks. Actor Will Smith once claimed, "AIDS was created as a result of biological-warfare testing." Comedian/activist Dick Gregory said that AIDS "was not passed from chimpanzees to mankind, but was probably knowingly developed by doctors and scientists working for the U.S. government."

Perhaps this explains why LeBron James, when asked about taking the coronavirus vaccine, said: "That's a conversation that my family and I will have. Pretty much keep that to a private thing." James also said: "Obviously I saw (NBA commissioner Adam Silver) had his comments about the vaccination. But things like that, when you decide to do something, that's a conversation between you and your family and not for everybody. I'll keep it that way."

To my knowledge, neither James, Smith or Gregory voted for Trump.

Had Trump not, for four years, been described as clueless, reckless and incompetent -- and had vote-seeking Democrats not described government as overtly, covertly, foundationally, endemically or systemically racist -- maybe we'd have fewer vaccine skeptics.

Interesting read .... those of us who “pay attention” know this already:

Americans Are Wildly Misinformed about the Risk of Hospitalization from COVID-19, Survey Shows. Here’s Why
https://fee.org/articles/americans-are-wildly-misinformed-about-the-risk-of-hospitalization-from-covid-19-survey-shows-here-s-why

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Buck Sextion says:
“The amount of psychological damage this country has done to itself as a result of lockdowns and covid panic propaganda is incalculable, but if you spend a few minutes on this app (Facebook?), you get a pretty good sense of how angry and crazy the mass hysteria crowd has become. Big problem”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So now we have to deal with the Covidian Cult - the mass hysteria crowd that the media & Dr. Fauci et al have whipped up. The “you HAVE to vax” & attempts to force people to do something that should be a personal choice is part of that hysteria.

“...Rather, it is genetic therapy that comes with a considerable list of potential long-term health concerns, not the least of which is the troubling evidence suggesting some of the mRNA shots may cause prion diseases such as Alzheimer’s and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Immunologist Dr. Bart Classen writes:4

“Development of new vaccine technology has been plagued with problems in the past. The current RNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were approved in the US using an emergency order without extensive long-term safety testing. The results indicate that the vaccine RNA has specific sequences that may induce TDP-43 and FUS to fold into their pathologic prion confirmations.

The enclosed finding as well as additional potential risks lead the author to believe that regulatory approval of the RNA-based vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 was premature and that the vaccine may cause much more harm than benefit.”

Or even feckless, if you wish.

“NEVER taking that filthy injection.”

Guess I am the guinea pig for FR. I took my first dose yesterday and today I feel like crap. Second dose is April 14th.

Trust me when I say I didn’t want any part of this. However, I must travel to NJ in May for medical reasons and without it I cannot fly, enter the facility for treatment or recuperate and do PT at the other facility I will be staying at.

To be honest, without vaccine papers I feel like a Jew in 1939 Nazi Germany. With so many conservatives not choosing to take the vaccine, by simply searching a database, the government will know who to target for whatever nefarious plans they have.

Larry Elder seems to be slipping lately. First, siding with the GOPe in bashing Steve King of Iowa as racist. Now, bashing Trump supporters who skeptical of experimental vaccines and government coercion

At Almost 70, I can understand his fear of this virus. Especially if he has lost loved ones, however his ire should not be directed at us for doing what we feel is best for our families

Pretty much a nonissue. If it makes you nervous, don’t take it. I got my two Pfizer shots. second one a month ago and never had a reaction other than a little sleepy the next day after shot # 2. May well have had nothing to do with the injection. At least it helps with the anxiety of those around me.

I will take it because I have two international trips booked for 2022. I’m sure airlines will require it.

I feel for you... You are in a tough spot.

For me, I am in excellent health, never really get sick, was born in doctor’s office(non-sterile environment) 50 plus years ago. My immune system is incredibly strong and very careful, whole food, plant based diet.

I work remotely in South Dakota...

The last truly free state!

My sister didn’t want it but her husband is deathly afraid of covid and badgered her into getting the vaccine. First round laid her out on the sofa for three days with no energy. Who knows what the second round will do. The kicker is that she’s already had covid.

Before there was a vaccine, many doctors figured out way to treat covid successfully. HCQ, Ivermectin and nebulized hydrogen peroxide are three methods. Vitamins A, C, D and Zinc are used along with most methods and maybe an antibiotic. Those patients get mild symptoms for a few days and that’s it. It’s treatable with known safe drugs and vitamins.

Now they want kids to get vaccinated for a virus they wouldn’t know they had if they got it. Saw doctors on the St Louis 6pm news giving the vaccine to kids to test their reactions to it. The moms, all named Karen I believe, all had big smiles on their face because they were helping the cause. No controlled setting. Just jab them and send them on their way. The news has turned into a covid/vaccine infomercial. That and the weather is about all they do.

An 89 year old woman at the nursing home my wife works at said, “get that shit away from me” when they went around offering the vaccine. I’m with her as is my wife.

Not if you have a doctor's slip.
