GASLIGHTING: HHS comms official shares poll on the J&J vaccine that doesn’t match reality

Here’s a different NYT article on the subject showing the exact same thing:

This isn’t a serious question in the headline. The disastrous decision of CDC/FDA to “pause” J&J is responsible for the decline and the consequences thereof: https://t.co/kuOJBoPBb8

And right now in Miami, Black leaders are *begging” people to trust the J&J vaccine again:

From Dem Rep. Fredricka Wilson:

Rep. Wilson on J&J pause and vax hesitancy for Black Miami-Dade residents:
“I think it hurt a lot. That’s why you hear me saying, ‘Moderna,’ and I’ll say it with conviction. I think that was a huge, huge hiccup, in the whole roll-out for President Biden.”https://t.co/fmen1blytk

Now, with all that said, here’s HHS comms official Ian Sams sharing a poll from Gallup that wants you to believe everything we’re seeing with our own eyes is wrong:

New Gallup poll: J&J pause "seems to have done little to affect Americans' reluctance to receive the vaccine, both in terms of the percentage unwilling to get vaccinated and the reasons they give for doing so, neither of which have changed since March."https://t.co/BqULJVRWyj

This is gaslighting, pure and simple.
