Actually if you watch the video I linked earlier Trump appears to agree with the host that there are risks with the vaccine
Of course there are.
But only in the same way that there are risks taking aspirin, or virtually any medicine.
There are risks in driving.
Or crossing the street.
There is virtually no risk free activity in life.
Are you pretending that you and Trump agree about the vaccine? Your rhetoric has been to highlight the risks, to overstate them, to say how experimental it is, to doubt it's efficacy.
Trump has consistently urged people to get the vaccine, said it's safe and effective.
The trouble for Trump is he is taking credit for Operation Warpspeed, so of course he has to take credit for the vaccine (I think he is justified in taking credit, for the record).
Unfortunately his devoted followers are prone to conspiracy theories and a mistrust of the mainstream. Which has worked pretty well for him in believing his lies about election fraud, but it also means they're believing lots of lies about the vaccine too. So it's a bit of a dilemma for Trump. He wants to take credit for something but in doing so he alienates his own fanbase.
Your reaction is interesting, you seem to be attempting to square the circle and claim that you and Trump are aligned when you're clearly contradicting each other. #OrwellWasRight #DoubleThink
I think that Covid is essentially just the flu
Then you are wrong. How did we end up in a world where people believe that stuff like this is a matter of opinion?
Covid has a significantly higher mortality rate than seasonal flu at every age range. The ICU doctor I spoke to last summer told me that the previous winter his unit was full of people in a way he'd never seen before and many of who died. And he told me that many of the people in his unit were relatively young, people in their 40s and 50s. This is not just the seasonal flu.
That said, I do think some have over-stated the risk for young people. There's a sensible middle ground between "we all need to hide under our beds" and "it's just the flu, nothing to worry about".
