Kamala Harris said that she doesn’t and won’t trust a vaccine that comes out before the election, refused to say she would take the vaccine, and said that the scientific community will be muzzled by Trump, suggesting that they would put out a fake vaccine in order to influence the election.
If Trump said that, or any of us, we’d be treated as Covid-denial loons or worse. If past is prologue that is.
But the media is trying to spin it on Kamala’s behalf that she only “means” that she doesn’t trust Trump.
When reporters are done asking Biden how his "soul" is doing, maybe they can get around to asking whether comments like these from Biden and Harris are endangering public health. https://t.co/kRie9IZXZL

This is grossly irresponsible.
We're all skeptical of how Trump is trying to influence the process, but Harris could've said "If the proper safety testing is done, I would absolutely take the vaccine."
This kind of statement from her carries a lot of weight – she knows better. https://t.co/szFpTakwZl

First of all, it is HIGHLY unlikely that a U.S.-based vaccine will be approved and distributed by the start of November.
But anti-vaccine rhetoric for the sake of political posturing from someone of Harris' stature is disconcerting. https://t.co/K1mm3Jo6Ms

Here’s the clip.
THIS is the most important response (and it’s from a Trump hater):
I get that in the middle of her quote, Harris says the vaccine would need to be confirmed by experts, but then she also says they'll be muzzled.
She is sewing doubt the entire time – that's what I find irresponsible. pic.twitter.com/kcIxt7uVsY

It’s the most important because it proves that their fake reasons why this doesn’t count as antivax conspiracy theory are wrong. She’s not just saying “I won’t take a vaccine directly administered by Trump” she’s saying YOU CAN’T TRUST THE VACCINE EVEN IF EXPERTS SAY TO BECAUSE TRUMP WILL BE MANIPULATING THEM.
But she’ll get away with this. Because we don’t have a fourth estate. Bash didn’t challenge her and the Fat Dumb and Bald Guy won’t complain about it, and Anger Management Poster Child Brianna Killer won’t either.
