Jake Tapper’s been listening to the word on the street … have you?
See, his sources tell him that “MAGA folks” don’t want to take any COVID19 vaccines because Donald Trump won’t be president when they will likely become widely available:
Already beginning to see the beginnings of MAGA folks going from “give Trump credit for the life-saving vaccine” to “no way am I taking that vaccine” and I fear how MAGA leadership might respond

Oh, you fear that, do you, Jake? Do you really?
We don’t recall you expressing such concern back when Kamala Harris, Andrew Cuomo, and other prominent Democrats were out there sowing seeds of doubt about any vaccine developed while Donald Trump was president.
Wierd way to talk about Kamala Harris. https://t.co/z649nBRNQH

Cuomo and Harris were saying this https://t.co/hoJWNlFRxM

So weird you "fear" that considering your network promoted and actually encouraged vaccine conspiracy theories from Democrats like Kamala Harris who deliberately sought to undermine Trump prior to the election, Jake.? https://t.co/zUWK0LJG0r

It caused zero problems for Jake Tapper and his fellow media firefighters, anyway.
Contra Jake's anecdote, the STAT poll demonstrated the largest spike in vaccine skepticism this year came among minority respondents after Kamala Harris's comments. https://t.co/qQV0VfpF73

But that didn’t even merit a blip on Tapper’s radar.
Remember when Jake was concerned after various Democrat officials expressed their unwillingness to take a vaccine developed under Trump? Me neither. https://t.co/RoV0FWsuJl

Nobody does. Because it didn’t happen.
Cuomo, Biden, and Kamala all cast doubt on the vaccine.
I have seen ZERO prominent Republicans speak irresponsibly like this.
Rando accounts on Twitter don't count. https://t.co/m8VXQ2TYPM

Oh STFU, you pathetic hack. Kamala Harris cast doubt on the vaccine and did you voice your concern? Piss off. https://t.co/UmeGTvN1jR
