It's been well over a year since the coronavirus pandemic first hit, and in that time, more than 600,000 people in the U.S. have died as a result of COVID-19. Even so, conservatives have consistently downplayed the pandemic and ignored vaccines — until now, it seems. As case counts rise nationwide, partially thanks to the highly contagious delta variant, Republicans like former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders are changing their tune. This week, Sanders wrote about the "Trump vaccine," which...what the hell is that even?
In a Sunday op-ed for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Sanders, who is currently running for governor of the state, detailed her decision to get the so-called "Trump" vaccine. Of course, she also took time to fire shots at Dr. Anthony Fauci and the current Biden administration, writing, "Dr. Fauci and the 'because science says so' crowd of arrogant, condescending politicians and bureaucrats were wrong about more than their mandates and shutdowns that have inflicted incalculable harm on our people and economy."
