Can you explain why a "talking point" immediately invalidates something?

>A talking point, often used in the plural, is a pre-established message or formula used in the field of political communication, sales and commercial or advertising communication.

Let me ask you this: is "Everyone (who can) should take the vaccine" a message that medical organizations are communicating with minimal variance?

If "talking point" is getting us tripped up here, maybe "convenient excuse spread mostly to help the vaccine hesitant continue to not get the vaccine" would be a better phrase.

I'm not an English major here. Just trying to get my point across.
