Biden: 'I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump'

[ffr]

Biden, speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, after being briefed by public health experts about a potential vaccine, cited Trump's "incompetence and dishonesty" surrounding the distribution of personal protective equipment and coronavirus testing. The U.S. "can't afford to repeat those fiascos when it comes to a vaccine," he said.

"I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump," Biden said, "and at this moment, the American people can't, either."

Biden, meanwhile, responded during his Delaware event to the question of whether [tRump's] comments could undermine trust in scientists.

"No," Biden said, because Americans "know (Trump) doesn't have any respect for scientists."

He added that the vaccine approval process should be "totally transparent" and evaluated by a "board of scientists" that could give the public an unbiased opinion. - American Independent

2. Dear popular media

I've seen reporting lately about public distrust of a Covid-19 vaccine, and the implication that a growing percentage of Americans are becoming anti-vaxxers or something. No, we're not anti-vaxxers. See what Biden said? We're not against a vaccine. We don't distrust science. We just don't buy what Trump is selling. A large majority of Americans have an understanding of what it takes to produce a safe and effective vaccine. We know that anything coming out in the next six weeks with Trump's imprimatur is unlikely to be safe or effective.

Quit interviewing anti-vax dumbshits and knuckleheads as if they have a reasoned point of view. They don't. And stop trying to lump people who don't trust Trump in with those dumbshits and knuckleheads.
