His endorsement of the vaccine was very thin cover to a mountain of attacks on everything they rely on (on Fauci, CDC, the 'deep state', all of government, science, it's just a flu, many, many others) and support for endless crazy conspiracy theories and their proponents.

And how did he encourage the vaccines? We didn't have daily tweets saying things like 'TERRIBLE people opposing vaccines! SO SAD!!' He didn't really get behind them.

You can't spend four years supporting everything that undermines them, and then quietly say 'get vaccinated'.
