Trump was touting the vaccines for months, practically taking credit for their existence. I don’t think the type of people who care what Trump says or does and are not wanting the shot would suddenly Lynne swayed because he got it. From my interactions I would say their avoidance has no relation to Trump’s choice to get vaccinated or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag me when there is evidence that any meaningful number of people chose not to get the vaccine because they didn’t know Trump had got his until March (reminder: we STILL don’t have enough doses for everybody who currently wants one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have done nothing but help and shows how little he gives a shit about anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why Fauci, Biden and other big names are publicly taking it. There are many many antigovernment people on both the right and left that think the government is using the public as guinea pigs. By showing they are taking it themselves it calms fears that the government is experimenting on people. There is going to be a point where supply is greater than demand and the main goal is to convince holdouts. You don't want to start doing that last minute.

If Trump being vaccinated matters, we should see a measurable decrease in vaccine hesitancy from his supporters. I await the evidence. 6 minutes ago, Chadatog said: Considering how all in on Hydroxychloroquine the right went after Trump talked about it, I'm thinking you are going to have to pay up. Trump explicitly told people to take it because of all the good things he heard, not because he himself took it. That claim happened later on after people had already begun taking it at his suggestion. And all along Trump has touted the vaccines, so who are these people who listen to Trump, but ignore his advice on vaccines, and also would be swayed by Trump taking it?

thewhyteboar Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If Trump had publicly received the vaccine than Republicans would have leaped over themselves to get it. They would have posted on social media about getting as many jobs as possible.

Jason Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 On the one hand, this is probably necessary to prevent vaccine hesitancy rooted in "what's the point if nothing's gonna change once I'm vaccinated"? On the other hand, oh boy do I see a lot of problems cropping up as a result of people taking this as carte blanche well beyond what's actually being recommended as okay, and people just outright fucking lying about their vaccination status.

Subzwari1987 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Managed to schedule my two COVID vaccine appts in SC at a Publix. They are moving to Phase 1B, which is roughly 50% of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Nevada just opened up the vaccine to frontline supply chain/logistics, which telecom infrastructure is a part of. I signed up as soon as I found out from a coworker, and am going to get the first shot at 1150 this morning. Super excited! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
