Kamala Harris flips from vaccine skeptic to vaccine booster

Vice President Kamala Harris is fending off criticism that she politicized the coronavirus vaccine and stymied efforts to get shots into arms by questioning whether the public should trust COVID-19 drugs developed during the Trump administration.

Harris hit a nerve when she said during a vice presidential debate last year that she would take a vaccine recommended by doctors and other health practitioners, “but if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I’m not taking it.” At the time, Trump had said that “no president has ever pushed” the agency responsible for reviewing the vaccine as he had.
