They received death threats. Promote the vax or you will pay the price.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they really aren't out to get you 🤪

@NorthernBear I live in a Canadian province that has a premier going back on his word all the time. And each time he goes back it is for the strangest supposed reason. Either someone has dirt on him he is scared to have exposed or he is receiving some other form of coercion. The same is likely the case for those who are now promoting who used to oppose. Just because you don't think it isn't happening doesn't make it so. There is more to this silly sickness than a released bioweapon.

@hippyjoe1955 Can you provide proof of that?

Why was Trump vaccinated? Did he get “death threats,” too?

@Lila15 Can you prove that it didn't happen?

@hippyjoe1955 Maybe it’s invisible elves. Can’t prove it’s not.

The real reasons are:

Threat of lawsuits from people harmed by anti-vaccine lies, who got sick or died due to following what they were told by people they trusted.

Fears that since most people not getting vaccinated, and dying, are Republicans, they’re indirectly killing off their own base.

In both cases, it’s a financial decision. No need for secret agents giving death threats.
