There is still a chance they admit the vaccines are total bullshit and they blame Trump for it entirely. The only way the vax shit is going away is if they say it's Trump's fault for rushing it out. But dems, MSM, etc have really owned taking the vax with zero skepticism so it's probably not going to go well if they spent the last year obsessing over people getting vaxxed and then turn around and say "well we really didn't trust the science it was actually all Trump"
The alternative is they realize they can't walk it back and blame it on Trump rushing the vax, so they do everything they can to get everyone to take it so they eliminate the control group. They want to be able to write vax side effects off as COVID. And if a large portion of the population is unvaxed, and they are not having heart problems and all these issues while the vaxed are having tons of problems it'll be obvious. The MSM, liberals, etc all are more scared of people realizing they forced people to take a shitty vax that made them all sick than they are about keeping people safe and healthy.
I love that take. It could play out.
I don't think politicians have any issue pulling a 180 and claiming they were always against it. There is plenty of video evidence of that (one good example: Kamala Harris being against the vax, until she and Biden took office, then she was for it).
I do agree that they will place blame for anything at Trump's feet, or any non-swamp entity for that matter.
Kerry was for the war before he was against it.
I know they can flip pretty easily, but they have been invested so heavily in telling everyone is safe and they need it.
You are correct. If a republican wins the presidency, the media will immediately start to place the blame of the vaccine deaths on Trump's executive order that protected the pharm companies from liability and allowed them to "experiment" on the population. Trump will be vilified as the next Hitler.

not entirely sure but I think I remember reading they got that "protection" well before covid ever happened, like, several years before.
They are too deeply associated with vaxxing that they have to keep at it. Now that they see people are less enthusiastic about boosters, they will hold off on the next one until fall 2022. That's also time to whip up another variant scare to justify mailed ballots in November. So expect things to be low key until late summer 2022 when a new variant and new booster will be the top stories.
