It's a fact McConnell encouraged people to get vaccinated when they could and one of the few from his side of the aisle. Mitch had polio as a child and knows the value of vaccines.

* Of course there will be some who will vilify the guy because he is speaking the truth. All this hostility toward the vaccines & to a larger extent Biden us childish behavior.

* Had Trump won a 2nd term, would we be having this conversation? They all know he got the jab, and so did his kids. The guy spearheaded the drive to get Americans vaccinated, but the excuses out there are pitiful. Okay, let's for argument sake side with those who say " it hasn't been tested well enough. Well, how long do we wait till people are convinced?

*Who do we test it on- Death row inmates, who? Let's go further and ask " Okay, if we jab an inmate, how long do we monitor these folks, 6 months, a year? At what point do we convince ourselves that we say " okay, seen enough- give me the jab!" What if, while we hesitated, another 600,000 Americans died, can we look at ourselves in the mirror & say, Yeah, it was worth the wait!"

* l applaud Mitch for this move.
