Conservatives on the COVID vaccine

Have conservatives changed their minds about the COVID vaccine? It's complicated ...

00:00One dose may be enough, but also maybe zero doses is enough.

00:03The best chance is getting the vaccine.

00:09Please take COVID seriously.

00:11I can't say it enough.

00:12Enough people have died.

00:13We don't need any more deaths.

00:14I'm actually beginning to have doubts.

00:16I've been telling my friends I'm going to get the vaccine.

00:18Half of them agree and the other half think I'm absolutely nuts.

00:22They wouldn't take it in a million years.

00:24I don't know who to listen to.

00:25Someone both had the disease and the vaccine, but we should study that also

00:29because we would want to know, is the vaccine more dangerous?

00:32Are you more likely to have serious side effects?

00:34I think there will be millions who want to take it.

00:36Let them get started.

00:38And that way we can head towards immunity.

00:40But the best chance is getting the vaccine.

00:42I personally believe the vaccine has saved countless lives.

00:45But again, just because the vaccine is generally safe doesn't mean that it's 100% safe.

00:52President Trump deserves a lot of credit for Operation Warp Speed

00:55in providing billions of dollars to produce a vaccine.

00:58So that was a brilliant operation from my standpoint.

01:01We've got freedom in this country, Rob, to choose whether we get vaccinated or not.

01:05Citizens need to have it now.

01:08Operation Warp Speed produced it in record time.

01:11I've been vaccinated.

01:13I'm told that I am now safe from getting this.

01:15Right now you have schools saying,

01:17can they make a segment of the population that is barely affected by this

01:21get vaccines that we don't even know the long-term effects of?

01:24Operation Warp Speed, it worked at warp speed.

01:28Not one, but two promising vaccine candidates, both over 95% effective.

01:34If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated,

01:37the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero.

01:43It's really unfair to impose that on people

01:47as a cost of being able to participate in society.

01:50So we're not going to let that happen in Florida.

01:52Very heartened to hear people like Steve Scalise come out and say,

01:56hey, we need to get vaccinated.

01:58Even Governor DeSantis right now in Florida is saying the same thing.
