Republicans blame liberals while finally urging vaccines

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The good news is that Sarah Huckabee Sanders has come out firmly in favor of COVID-19 vaccines. The less-great news is that she built her case — naturally — using the language of culture warfare.

Huckabee, who served as Donald Trump's White House spokesperson and is now running for governor of Arkansas, urged the state's residents to get vaccinated in a Sunday op-ed for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Along the way, she attacked snooty liberal leaders and institutions like President Biden and The New York Times for planting the seeds of vaccine hesitancy.

"Dr. Fauci and the 'because science says so' crowd of arrogant, condescending politicians and bureaucrats were wrong about more than their mandates and shutdowns that have inflicted incalculable harm on our people and economy," Sanders wrote. "They also misjudged the Trump vaccine plan, which rolled out just as safely, quickly, and effectively as the Trump administration promised." She concluded by urging readers to ignore "fear-mongering and condescension" from liberals to "make the best, most informed decision you can."

Now this kind of argument was anticipated, and even hoped for by many pro-vaccination folks on the left — just look up the number of jokes on Twitter about telling conservatives the vaccines are made from "liberal tears." If giving Trump more credit or griping about condescending libs will get more shots in more arms, by all means do it. The lives and health of millions of people are at stake.

1. Yeah, but....

Don't you just want to tell her and her self-serving ilk to shut your damn pie holes ????? Of course it's the damn libtards fault, we've been telling you all along that the Trump vaccine is safe and effective!!
My, my, every one on the right must be suffering from fact correcting whiplash!

6. Is there any wonder that Democrats were skeptical about the bleach injection guy?

The shot was backed the FDA and Fauci. It helped that Biden/Harris also backed it while Trump was still president.

2. The only ones buying fuckabee's nonsense is the cult

3. Being well educated automatically makes you arrogant and condescending according to this crowd

I always laugh when I hear them saying they’ve done their research. Do they have an electron microscope and three graduate degrees from Cornell etc.?They look on Google for 15 minutes and think they know more than Dr. Fauci’s team who have spent half a century researching viruses

4. Unfortunately, many Americans except her type of bullshit without question.

People like her are example 1 of why the states they influence are backwards relative to many other states.

5. Do republicans have to admit they are wrong about everything to get the shot? No

But they already know they are.

They can admit they were wrong. We already know it.

7. Except

Anti-vaxxers aren’t making any of those arguments in support of their refusal to get the vaccine. They believe that it’s “experimental”, implants microchips, etc. none of which liberals/Democrats ever argued. Much of the discourse has also been about “personal bodily freedom” vs public health with most anti-vaxxers fighting for their “freedom” to not be vaxxed.

8. "because science says so"?

Yeah, Sarah, that's a better reason than "because jeebus says so".

Apparently jeebus said to avoid vaccines like the plague, but now says it's good to get the shots. Waffling jeebus
