Is warning people not to shoot themselves up with horse paste likely to discourage people from doing so? Sure. With good reason. If you even read the shit you posted, many of the notes of caution were suggesting that if the vaccine came out under Trump, then the facts underlying that should bear greater scrutiny than they otherwise might. Trump's well-documented behavior makes that a justified response. What's your point. That Democrats should ignore things that might adversely affect the health of Americans such as the approval of a vaccine corrupted by political influence? This compares to Republicans casting doubts on the vaccine using lies, falsehoods, and misinformation? You don't see those as different things? Fascinating. You once again have compared unlike things as if they were like things to try to make a point. You have all the reasoning skills of a turnip.
My point is clear. Democrats share responsibility for people's suspicions regarding the vaccines. You point it out yourself - " the approval of a vaccine corrupted by political influence." But, once Dems are in power, that concern disappears? It doesn't work that way.
Seems like there was great skepticism by Trump opposition that Trump was sincerely producing a real vaccine, instead he was just rushing to roll out whatever the fuck it was going to be, just to get the "win." I would have a hard time pinning down exact quotes and opinion pieces, but living through it not too long ago that was my impression. I'm surprised others don't recall it similarly.
