Exes.
Something new to mark the one-year anniversary of The Day Everything Changed. I know what you’re thinking after reading that headline: “Someone is missing.” Indeed he is. But, to his credit, he’s been pro-vax lately in his public comments. Watch, then read on. There are three groups that have been more reluctant than others in polling to say they’re prepared to get vaccinated. One is young adults, the second is African-Americans, the third is Republicans. I don’t know that any of the four “exes” here will persuade the first group — do young adults still care about, or even firmly remember, Obama? — but Barack’s and Michelle’s endorsement will hopefully carry some weight with fencesitters in the black community. As for Republicans, I’m skeptical that Dubya’s support will do much. He’s well-liked but the party has moved on from Bushism. Which means it’s important for the missing man, the last GOP president and the most influential figure in the party, to publicly condone vaccinations in order to reach righty skeptics. And he’s doing that, in his own signature style. Just not in the ad. NEW TRUMP STATEMENT: « I hope everyone remembers when they’re getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful ‘shot’ for 5 years… I hope everyone remembers! » pic.
