When asked if she plans to get a Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination once they become available in late October or early November, vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris publicly stated that she will not simply because she does not trust Donald Trump.
Implying that Trump himself created and is directly behind this upcoming vaccine, Harris suggested that it will probably not be safe or effective, and thus should be avoided. In other words, Harris, just like her running mate Biden, has become a vocal anti-vaxxer.
“It would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about,” Harris is quoted as saying about what many are now describing as the “Trump administration vaccine.”
“I will not take his word for it,” she added. “I would not trust his word. I would trust the word of health experts, but not Donald Trump.”
Biden, during a separate interview, expressed similar sentiments, though he indicated that he will still get vaccinated for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) despite Trump being president.
At the same time, Biden has indicated in the past that he does not trust the safety or effectiveness of any Trump administration vaccine, and believes many Americans will turn it down because they do not trust the president.
“People don’t believe that [Trump] is telling the truth” about the vaccine, Biden is quoted as saying about the Operation Warp Speed vaccine candidates that the latest reports indicate could come to market as early as Nov. 1. “Therefore, they’re not at all certain they’re going to take the vaccine.”
Both of these statements by the two leading Democrats suggest that neither Biden nor Harris agree with “science,” seeing as how “scientists” within the Trump administration and at several large Big Pharma firms claim that whatever vaccines are released to the public will be safe and effective.
This declaration alone, which in the past has always been more than enough to constitute “science” in the eyes of Democrats, would seemingly warrant full support from both Biden and Harris. And yet both of them have expressed “anti-vaxxer” views that, unlike similar views espoused in the past by their Republican counterparts, are now getting a free pass by the media.
The reason for this, of course, is that nothing Democrats say or do is ever scrutinized by the corporate media machine, even when that same corporate media machine routinely bashes Republicans for expressing doubts about the safety and effectiveness of childhood vaccines.
If Biden and Harris were Republicans, in other words, their statements objecting to Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination would earn them descriptors like “anti-science” and “crackpot.” We would never hear the end of it from the media about how they hate children and want grandma to die, etcetera ad nauseum.
But because they are Democrats, Biden and Harris could probably kill a puppy on live television and the gushing media would excuse it away, or even find a way to blame it on Trump. This is the world we now live in, which has become totally polarized even when it comes to facts and logic.
While we are certainly not proponents of any vaccine, including Trump’s Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines, the double standard here is startling. Perhaps this was Trump’s goal all along: to expose the Left as total hypocrites who are only against vaccination now that Trump is seemingly for it.
Whatever the case may be, the Democratic ticket is now anti-science, based on its own definition of anti-science, and few Democrats seem to care.
