Here Are Four Democrats Who Fueled Vaccine Skepticism While Trump Was In Office

All available evidence — both from test studies and real-world usage — indicates that the COVID-19 vaccines being administered in the United States are both safe and effective. According to the CDC, “Over 109 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through March 15, 2021,” and “COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials,” with the vaccines meeting the “FDA’s rigorous scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization (EUA).”

Despite the safety and efficacy of the vaccine — demonstrated by nations like Israel whose vaccine program has been hugely successful — there is some level of skepticism in the United States when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine.
