Good news, everyone! It’s officially OK to get the COVID19 vaccine now:

Oh, thank goodness. It wasn’t so long ago when Kamala Harris was urging skepticism about the safety of any vaccine developed during the Trump administration. Now that ~~she~~ Joe Biden will be president in a few weeks and will soon be able to start taking credit for everything, it’s important for her to boost confidence.

Anti-vaxxer (because Orange Man Bad) decides to….get the COVID vaccine?

Gotta love @JonScottFNC's reaction: "She has somehow overcome her skepticism of the vaccine." pic.twitter.com/2IDbIVIEQX

Amazing how that works.

It's nice to see she has changed her tone since her last comments about taking the vaccine. https://t.co/zHTT0A7zsx

“If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it, absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I’m not taking it.” — @KamalaHarris, 10/7/20 https://t.co/2ShVTO4Ed5

Well, naturally. This is about leadership, after all.

The least deserving person due to her own anti-vaxx statements. Truly deplorable. https://t.co/Dgq8NPj3xP
