But seriously, **Hari\_Seldon** quoted the wrong post. This is probably the correct sequence.

> Mostly from the view of the right, I think. I’m discussing (well arguing) vaccine issues with a conservative. His last post said that if Trump had won in 2020 I’d be then against Covid vaccinations because he would supposedly be for them. (And he is for them, just not very loudly.) I told him no, I’d do what the science says, and was for vaccines when Trump was in office.  
> Which shows that this person sees it as a political issue, and seems to have a hard time conceiving that anyone doesn’t.
