Who’s Skipping the Vaccine? The Answer May Surprise You
American Thinker.com ^ | August 30, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph M.D

Big media has been in overdrive pushing COVID vaccinations, at least after Joe Biden was ensconced in the White House. Remember that when Donald Trump was still president, the vaccines were suspect, simply because Trump played a major role in their development and rollout.

Before the election, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were vaccine-hesitant. Both cast doubt on the COVID vaccines, still in clinical trials last fall. Biden said, “I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don’t trust Donald Trump.” Did he believe Trump was cooking up the vaccines in the White House basement, the sole decision maker regarding approval, ignoring the pharmaceutical companies creating the vaccines, overseen, and ultimately approved by the FDA, not the president?

Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, cast similar doubt saying, "I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. I will not take his word for it.” Again, it is the FDA, not the White House that is charged with approving vaccines.

Trump can say what he wants but if the regulatory authorities say otherwise, that’s as far as it goes toward approval or usage. Look at hydroxychloroquine as an example.

In a hyper-politicized country, Americans tend to believe those with whom they identify politically. Hence those on the right supporting hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic and those on the left, like Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, saying “it will kill you.” If the future president and vice president were vaccine-hesitant, expect many Americans to adopt that view.

Joe Biden at the Town Hall with Don Lemon when Don admitted he got the vaccine:

Biden: Yo- uh, y-you, y-you got the vaccination?

Don Lemon: Yeah.

Biden: A-Are you... Are you okay? I mean, you seem... no, it works, or you, you know, or, or, or, or the mom and dad, or or, or, or, or the neighbor, or when you... go to church, or when you’re — n-no, I-I-I-I really mean it, there... are trusted interlocutors. Think of the people, if-if your kid wanted to find out whether or not there were — there’s a man on the moon, or, or whatever, you know, something, or, you know, whether those aliens are here or not. You know, who are the people they talk to beyond the kids who love talking about it?

Not in MY house!

Politicians who make statements that agree with what I believe are likely to get my vote!

Yup...the politicians I support are the ones with whom I just *happen* to agree...most of the time.I don't even agree with *myself* 100% of the time so I'm certainly not gonna agree with any *politician* 100% of the time.

When was that Town Hall with Don Lemon?

Un-bleeping believable... unintelligible word salad !

I do not rely on politicians for medical advice—ever.

However, if a pack of liars insists something is a good idea that starts to get my attention....whatever profession they are.

Who doesn't want the vax? The 9 most terrifying words any person who doesn't have their head up their ass will ever hear. " I'm from the government and I'm here to help"..

if they are giving it away, its fully worth what you paid for it..

They are working too hard to make us take it. When has the government ever worked this hard to vax the whole country even if it means by force? School kids maybe but they have never tried to force adults, except for the military, that I remember. That’s a huge red flag for me.

Fake Pres is certifiably demented.

And, they mocked RPOTUS.

Good luck, Don LeMon. He’s probably really regretting his “vax” decision, after that.

" Who isn’t yet vaccinated in America and why? There is vaccine hesitancy, which according to Wikipedia “is a delay in acceptance, or refusal of vaccines despite the availability of vaccine services.” It’s not simple and straightforward, either. “Vaccine hesitancy is complex and context specific, varying across time, place and vaccines. It is influenced by factors such as complacency, convenience, a fear of needles, or a lack of understanding about how vaccines work.”"

Seriously? More like 'People who understand how a vaccine works and can see that the clot shots are not a vaccine at all'.

wikipedia is a lefty misinformation platform and waste of time. I am surprised American Thinker uses it as a viable reference.

A must read!

Long but easy to understand what their objective was/is.

Did the Democrat lead states followed this same protocol in their nursing homes?

Biden’s reaction tells me everything I need to know about the vax.

That is scary! My husband is 83. I’m 66 but I do my best to stay out of crowds to keep from bringing it home to him. My only medical issue is seasonal asthma and that’s not good with COVID.

The local doctors here are doing a great job treating this but my main concern since turning 65 is that too many doctors just don’t care if they “fix” you or not. We have had 109 deaths in my County and over 90 were in nursing homes. Most people recover fine. I have a neighbor that is in the hospital now with double pneumonia. She is only in her mid to late 50’s but she’s overweight and only has one kidney. She donated the other one. So, her recovery is iffy.

I am.
Take vitamin D3 and zinc. Take HCQ if you can find it as the democrats have banned it’s use as it is low cost and will not kill or maim you.
