Whatever that goalpost is, it will be moved once it's met.

Which goalpost? Two weeks to slow the spread?
You mean the two weeks that not many followed because of propaganda like this?

Recipient of the highest civilian honor in the US with 15 million highly engaged listeners told them covid was just a cold hyped up to hurt the then POTUS politically.

Wuhan did slow the spread very very much with a few weeks of shutdown btw.

no the goalposts that marks the amount of evidence proving safety. no matter how much evidence demonstrating safety somebody who doesn't want to get the vaccine will always demand more and then when they get that more they will demand even more. it's constructing and demanding evidence to fit a preseason idea not adjusting your ideas based on evidence
Exactly. Remember when the goalpost was "Bbbbbut it's not FDA approved!" The exact day that a vaccine became FDA approved, nearly every "hesitant" person suddenly moved the goalpost, so that they had some other excuse to be hesitant. These are not people with legitimate concerns. They already have their minds made up, and plan to keep cherry picking concerns such that they never have to change their minds.
