If Trump had a 2nd term in office, would the US vaccination profile look any different?

I voted for Trump and was one of the the first people to get vaccinated in our area because of my job. I was on vaccine hunter websites in those early days helping seniors get appointments. My decision on when and how I got vaccinated or get boosters has nothing to do with who is the current president.

Cool anecdote.

We would have been worse off with a 2nd Trump term. https://coronavirus.house.gov/sites/democrats.coronavirus.house.gov/files/SSCCInterimReportDec2021V1.pdf

You can debate a hypothetical til you’re blue in the face. Means nothing.

Biden got vaccinated publicly and Trump did it secretly and barely mentioned it on his way out the door. Biden wore a mask and had remote or distanced campaign events and Trump held rallies and White House events that sickened and killed people. Biden hasn't gotten Covid and Trump did and almost died. It doesn’t take a genius to see how this year would have gone.

Then get off the thread started to do just that.

Would fewer Democratic Party supporters have gotten vaccinated because they didn’t trust the Trump administration?

All the Democrats I know were desperate for the vaccine before the Trump administration was over. And the Pfizer vaccine had nothing to do with the Trump administration.

Same place as we are now. Same numbers. Same vaccination rates. The only difference would be that the media would still have the death counter permanently on.

I don't play these covid political games (I also pay attention to the news in other countries too so somehow the idea that Trump and Trump alone is a major stumbling block is laughable when you consider other countries are resorting to locking unvaccinated people up or threatening them with imprisonment).

So there would’ve been fewer takers on Moderna and J&J? Is that what you mean?

Aren’t all of these based on the same source not a bunch of different ones?

+1. The USA as we know it would end, so who would care about vaccines at that point?

It would be worst. I imagine doctors would be arrested for giving vaccines.

So wait a minute…. The Trump administration would be arresting doctors for administering the vaccine that Trump took credit for pushing the super-fast development of?


Because that’s what you’re suggesting.

Think about how stupid that statement makes you look.

Even if you had wanted a shot, you’d have been waiting another 6 months to get it.
Yeah, the vaccination rate would look different, because there wouldn’t have been a roll out.

This is just a crap response. There were nearly a million shots a day going out just after the vaccine had been approved. It would have only ramped up faster under Trump.

What I do believe the Trump administration would have been better at - ensuring that people had very easy access to tests and more access and faster approval of therapeutics.

The Biden administration has all but ignored therapeutics and their only strategy has been vaccination and mandates.

And, if you want to know why so many may be vaccine hesitant...... here's a clue......
Perhaps these folks should have thought about their words before they said them....

Yeah, we should have all been taking horse pills to cure Covid!

In the meantime you drink water which is an industrial solvent .

Exactly.
