It typically is more rooted in doing things organically, etc.

When Trump was still president... even leading up through February of this year... Democrats were even more anti-vaxx because they didn't trust the vaccine since it had been a huge push from President Trump.

After the Harris/Biden administration came in, there WAS a shift in trust... which is largely rooted in much of the seemingly oppressive push that they've tried to roll it out. Despite the narrative that you're perpetuating... there's still an overwhelming mistrust among the progressive and minority population. So much in fact that the current administration has been trying to elicit the support of Hollywood to make infomercials to try to get people to take the vaccine.
All Trump had to do was publicly get the vaccine with Mrs. Trump receiving the vaccine too. Latest stats that I have seen is 45% of Republicans do not want to be vaccinated. Don't you think it would have been a great public service effort for the Trumps to send a message to his supporters to get the vaccine? I certainly do. He dropped the ball.
