From link
December of 2020 he tweeted "I have a very low risk of A) Getting COVID and B) dying of it if I do. Why would I risk getting a heart attack or paralysis by getting the vaccine?"

He even recorded a parody song - Vaxman - mocking the vaccine.

So many claim it won’t be them so not getting vaccine very selfish besides wrong

It is exactly people like this formerly RW rouser of public anti-vax sentiment who, when they see the necessity of the VAX, could (by the kind of massive presidential-election-scale campaign we have simply not seen yet to win over extra millions to vax) be truly useful to the right kind & scale of effort.

Ads w/all kinds of stars, including RW converts, should be going out throughout all kinds of neighborhoods & communities in the US. Every one shd feature a national toll-free number (which does exist for NY State) that shd become well-known enough that every kid can recite it (like ad slogans such as 'it's the pepsi generation'[for those old enuf to remember] or 'what's in your wallet'). Sure there are haphazard efforts being made but a full-court press cd probably win over 10s of millions (not just RW anti-vaxxers but in many social quarters) to voluntarily get the jabs

Yes, full approval will lead to mandatory vaxxing for many, but the process wd & will be a lot smoother w/the right kind of publicity, also reaching many who might not be tied to an institution that will require it

must look beyond the obvious idiocy that characterizes virtually ALL RW politics in the US (and much else as well)

They only see the light when it affects them personally. It’s a sure sign of having zero empathy.
