They also realize that a global pandemic has left no country untouched, and even enemies are desperate for vaccination.

Finally, adults realize what a privileged position we’re in and that insisting rights are being trampled (whose rights?) doesn’t make it so

Context is everything: Polio affected less than 1% of the population. Even a smaller fraction, when counting those paralyzed.

Still a scary disease.

I'm in Canada and my spouse had some concerns about AZ when it was first being rolled out in pharmacies by booked appointments - so I waited until the national rollout of Pfizer & Moderna - if you've got concerns over a specific version of the vaccine there are other options.

I'm not making this up. This is mainstream news or primary sources.

EDIT:

Donald Trump has been quite clear about the utility of the vaccine and proud of its development and availability under his administration.

If you haven't seen these before, and didn't know this until now, despite this having been one year ago, ask yourself why? Is it because you were fed a particular narrative?

The first one where they say they will take any vaccine recommended by health experts, and not one recommended by a reality TV host known for recommending bleach and hydroxychloroquine as remedies?

Or the second one where they switch together some out-of-context clips to make it seem like they are saying something that they are are not?

Or maybe it’s the third one that contains nothing of substance other than mentioning a working group that after the article was published fully recommended the FDA approved covid vaccines?

The 'reality TV host' was also president of the United States. This is like calling Joe Biden a plagiarizer and not mentioning he is the POTUS. Joe Biden recommended jab #3 before the CDC made a declaration. He even likely affected the CDC decision. You're editorializing here.

As to the links... I don't know what to say. The videos of the exact interviews are all available online in their full content. I remember watching them at the time and finding it shocking the democratic party suddenly became anti-vaccine. I don't understand why I need to find great articles when the full clips are available for your review as well as transcriptions (and are linked or the source explicitly mentioned from the articles I posted).

But because it might be difficult for you. Here you go. THis is my last quote. Joe Biden laid into the minds of million americans during his campaign that the approvals of the Trump vaccines were made by political pressure. HE literally said it.

Here is the video:

No news, no spin. Just the man himself.

Here is the full quote:

> If and when the vaccine comes, it’s not likely to go through all the tests that need to be done, and the trials that are needed to be done. > > and the question is if he's going to seek emergency move.

Literally most criticisms of the vaccine, most hesitant people, are hesitant because the vaccine was rolled out under emergency use, and all vaccines given in this country right now are still under emergency use. The OR/WA/CA task forces fed into this narrative. Harris's statements did so as well.

Joe Biden implied that emergency use authorization was not enough. Then when elected president, immediately, everyone had to get the jab while they are still under emergency use authorization. This is just hypocrisy plain and simple. A responsible statement at the time of the campaign would have simply been to say, I will trust whatever expert scientsts say, and while perhaps I don't trust Donald Trump, I trust our FDA scientists.

Joe Biden was the first mainstream politician to cast doubt in the minds of millions of Americans. Stop pretending. What more evidence do you want?
