Democrats were the original anti-vaccine pushers
...
Democrats are blaming Republicans, Fox News, and the anti-vaccine movement for “vaccine hesitancy.” What makes this criticism ring hollow is that it was Democrats who were the original anti-vaxxers. In their eagerness to defeat Donald Trump last fall, Democrats ginned up hysterical opposition to vaccines that were close to being approved for emergency use by the FDA.
On September 24, New York governor Andrew Cuomo said the state will independently review all vaccines authorized by the federal government. “Frankly, I’m not going to trust the federal government’s opinion and I wouldn’t recommend to New Yorkers based on the federal government’s opinion,” he said in a statement.
This lack of trust in the government was picked up on by some anti-vax groups, saying Cuomo was reiterating their own arguments against vaccines generally. Cuomo’s spokesman Richard Azzopardi responded to these groups, telling Newsweek “the anti-science crowd should knock it off and stop twisting our words.”
“What we don’t trust is a federal government that has been caught red-handed multiple times circumventing the health experts and making political decisions seemingly to boost the president’s re-election chances.”
The skepticism went all the way to the party leadership, including the party’s presidential candidate.
At the start of September, Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said she would not trust President Donald Trump‘s word alone that any vaccine developed is safe and efficient.
A week later, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden made similar remarks during a speech in Delaware, saying, “I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump.”
Said Nancy Pelosi at the time: “Unless there is confidence that the vaccine has gone through the clinical trials, and then is approved by the independent scientific advisory committee, as established to do just this, there will be doubts that people will have.”
Of course, the vaccines went through clinical trials and were approved by three separate independent advisory boards. Pelosi knew this but she wanted people to distrust the vaccines so that Donald Trump wouldn’t benefit politically from his administration’s achievement.

There you have the real story on the vaccine hesitancy. Democrats were trying to scare people in order to hurt President Trump's election chances. There is no lie they will not tell to corruptly win an election. These are the same people who pushed the Russian collusion hoax. Democrat politicians should be the least trusted people in America. These are the same people who claim voter ID is racist.
BTW, the "fully vaccinated" Texas Democrats who ran away to DC and came down with the virus are probably not going to cure the vaccine hesitancy.
