A GOP president pushed hard to get vaccine released in under a year. Also strongly recommend people take it.

The issue came in forcing vs persuading.

Also people who got Covid before vaccine were totally ignored and let in an awkward position of being demonized for a vaccine that is to late.

They weren't ignored, they were given the same advice and a subset did not think it applied. That's different, in my view. Reinfections can and do occur -- lower than vaccine breakthrough for Delta, but not necessarily true for other strains like Omnicron and subvariants.

And his political opponents were actively undermining trust in the vaccines at that time.

Seems like even people here have latched onto this partisan merry-go-round.
