Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Wednesday that he did not realize it would be difficult to convince Americans to take the COVID-19 vaccine as the nation deals with soaring cases occurring in the unvaccinated.

“Here, we did — developed three highly effective vaccines in under one year. Honestly, it never occurred to me we would have difficulty getting people to take the vaccine,” McConnell told Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow, a former White House official.

“So, clearly, we have got a job to do to try to convince reluctant Americans of all types who seem to be holding back, unconvinced that this is the right thing to do,” McConnell added.

Some of us question authority, Mitch.

*************

On a broader level, many of us has lost confidence in the government and no longer trust it.

[Cecily]

It never occurred to McConnell that Americans might not trust the lying government and media. He doesn’t get out much, does he?

[silverleaf]

After our so-called science experts lying and flip flopping for 18 months, Mitch allowing a stolen election to be certified, and having to endure daily babbles and insults by a nasty stupid senile career Senator posing as POTUS while daily issuing one economically, socially or strategically ruinous policy after another…..it “ never occurred’ to this CCP-connected old Turtle that the American people would not respect or trust the government?

[jughandle]

Experimental. Had COVID already. I don’t see the need.

[moovova]

A lot of things don’t occur to The Turtle.

[Starboard]

You could say the same thing about his political party. It too is tone deaf.

[CodeToad]

Mitch the Bitch only does what he is told to do, he never thinks.

[Skywise]

Turtle will you just RESIGN already?!

[Responsibility2nd]

Ironic indeed. My state also has two Repub Senators. Also different as night as day.

Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

[Joe 6-pack]

There was a point in my life when it never would have occurred to me that a U.S. Senate leader would put China's interests ahead of his own country's.

That illusion was dispelled long ago.

...convincing Americans to get vaccinated would be difficult.

It is not difficult. Now, convincing Americans to get a dangerous experimental inoculation might be.

[Alberta's Child]

I hate to break it to you, Mitch -- but your public pressure on people to get vaccinated actually makes me LESS likely to ever get vaccinated.

If I couldn't trust you to repeal ObamaCare after spending years promising to do so, I sure as hell don't trust you when it comes to medical advice.

[Paladin2]

It never occurred to me that Ditch knew squat about medicine.

[dforest]

Anything involving “The People”, you know us, the citizens, escapes this dolt whose claim to fame is a government job paid by we, the citizens. Pleasing the CCP pleases him more. He gets bigger paychecks.

The whole US goverment is inhabited by vermin.

[Clean_Sweep]

Mandating the use of masks that are ineffective against the transmission of viruses and expecting people that are not infected to wear a useless mask. Has demonstrated the corrupt nature of government, not to be trusted.

[meowmeow]

Isn’t it ironic that the generation that shrieked, “question authority!” will now throw you in the gulag if you question their authority?

[Starboard]

Experimental.

***************

THAT is the key word. We are being forced to inject experimental drugs under emergency use authorizations that have not been fully tested.

[Allegra]

The desperation and aggressiveness with which the government/media has pushed this vaccine makes people hesitate and question it.

And what about those of us who already have the antibodies?

We know this government is not concerned about the health and safety of the people. We know they’re very interested in controlling us, though.

So there you have it, Mitch.

[Starboard]

Ironic but predictable. Power corrupts. Always.

Warning warning. The FDA is now full of Biden’s minions. The FDA approves many drugs that end up being unsafe. Those drugs are pulled and involve in giant lawsuits.

I would not use this FDA as a means to decide to take this injection.
