I got a conundrum -
I understand that Trump needs to push for a vaccine for normies who have been programmed from birth to trust doctors and believe that vaccines are the best thing since sliced bread, to assure them, to comfort them, to let them know he's acting for them in their interest.
Okay, that's fine.
But sooner or later, he'll have to tell them that vaccines aren't necessary, that covid vaccines may in fact be more harmful to them than the covid itself is.
How does he turn this around?
