The mainstream media covered Warp Speed and the vaccines in such a way that downplayed Trump’s role in selecting vaccine candidates, and funding them and giving them the lab space and guinea pigs, that a lot of liberals seem to have a false memory of Trump being anti-COVID vax, and perhaps conservatives up until recently have gotten that impression too. I don’t know why they couldn’t have engineered it so that it was the Democrats instead who were hesitant to drink Zyklon Don’s Koolaid. I mean if politics is so polarized these days that we can only get one side to get mostly vaccinated it would make more sense to spin it to appeal to the Republicans since the Democrats at least stay home and wear masks so they don’t need it like the filthy MAGA folks who’ll be breathing germs all over anyway. Plus I’m pretty sure a lot of liberals harbor genocidal feelings towards Trump voters anyway so what do they care if they Jonestown themselves? Not very smart of them. What kind of mind virus possessed them to flip on a vaccine that they were so sure was dangerous? Was it the Trump Derangement Syndrome? That’s pretty damn deranged; it’s one thing to drink your cult leader’s Koolaid, but they drank their political adversary’s cult leader’s Koolaid...

You're assuming Trump supporters would just take the vaccine but he's been boasting about them from the start and yet even at his rallies in the fall many supporters were rather mooted in their applause. Recently, Trump was jeered by his fan base when he boasted about them.

The truth is that many Trump supporters were already quite skeptical of government, media and even academics. MSM will say this is because of Trump but it's not. Trump merely exploited these feelings by playing up to them. Populism has been increasing around the western world for years (Brexit, Syriza in Greece, left wing populism in Spain, referendum in Italy that went against the establishment, France's increased support for the "far-right" government headed by Le Pen, increased support for the AFD in Germany etc. Trump was just one more symptom (along with Bernie Sanders rise on the left) of many Americans - both on the left but likely more so on the right given their disappointment with Bush, McCain and Romney types - no longer trusting the establishment.

I mean if they spun it in the right way... the mRNA jabs are mercury-free, aluminum-free and they’re liposomal which is a word I see on a lot of health products... the doses micrograms is probably small enough to technically qualify as homeopathy (low-level dilution where there’s still measurable quantities of the stuff that’s being diluted). Trump supporters don’t seem apprehensive about the Regeneron treatment that Trump got... of course that one brought him from the brink of death before their eyes... but unless you understand some science it’s not easy to intuit a priori that monoclonals are likely safe and mRNA filled liposomes are likely not (I saw an article written by a doctor that didn’t get this) so I don’t see why they wouldn’t trust Trump about the vaccine, at least up until TikTok started blowing up with vax seizures and collapsing footballers at which point Alex Jones and all the other conspiracy sites would do their thing. I can’t find one negative article about monoclonal antibodies on Natural News. It would take quite a campaign though, not sure the mainstream media understands the right well enough to sell it to them, so much easier to sell to Science worshipers... also amazed they got the left to worship Fauci, who spread hate against gay people in the 80s by lying about how AIDS is transmitted; that’s not very Woke. I imagine the only people that remember what a slime ball he is are Boomers that haven’t gone senile yet, and even then they probably didn’t pay too much attention unless they’re LGBTQ+ and thanks to AIDS a lot of the ones that would remember aren’t around anymore...
