Dropping support for it would him be admitting he fucked up massively. Because he was the one of the people who rushed it hard and set most of the stage for how bad Biden and the rest could abuse it further.
That's beyond ego, its him having to accept all the damage and death is partially on his hands. Its easier to go into complete denial about it being a problem at all.
Trump refusing to accept reality on the vax will harm him greatly in the primaries.
DeSantis is not a weak pussy like the band of clowns who ran in 2016 and subsequently got destroyed by Trump in the primaries.
Ron DeSantis knows Trump will try to bully everyone on stage with his infantile name calling and accusations of "muh establishment RINO".
DeSantis's biggest asset is that he can use the wedge issue of the vax to show that Trump has no standing whatsoever to call anyone establishment or a RINO.
Trump shills for big pharma more than anyone in the Republican party.
Trump already had little chance. He will be the direct focus of every institution and Leftist possible to be kept down, including the RINOs and GOP.
Without even factoring out any competition, he had no chance to reclaiming his former popularity. Between his utter failing of the Jan 6 people, the vaxx, and people looking back at how much he bungled during his time to shine, he doesn't have the same unified backing. Which means the Dems need little to no cheating to beat him to begin with.
We can both see that Trump has no chance of winning the general election.
He sadly still has a chance of winning the primary if too many candidates run and Trump manages to squeak out a small plurality win with only his dumb cultists.
Trump must be beaten in the primaries if we want any shot at 2024.
I still think DeSantis is the only man who could pull that off.
Personally, I don't care much for these media personalities, and I'm sure most of you don't care, either, but I found this one particularly interesting because of how hard Trump has pushed the vaccine.
why though, it's not like they have regular jobs that forced them to take the jab, they could've stayed home all the time if they thought the coof was that deadly
Peer pressure. I'm sure they had family in their ear, like most of us do. Most of us are surrounded by people who got it without even thinking and think we should have, too. If these were close family members, I could see that being pretty heavy pressure.
They were in risk categories -- older (50 in 2020) and overweight. Even if we did this whole thing right (assuming we couldn't stop the initial research + lab leak) and followed the Great Barrington Declaration, D&S would have both been recommended to get the shots. It's easy to forget that 18 months ago Dr. McCullough was still supporting vaccinating older folks -- now that we have that important data he is calling for human rights tribunals iirc.
Trump pushing it. This is, admittedly, kind of a weak reason.
Despite how big of a supporter they both were of Trump, I doubt it'll get through to him to drop his support for the vaccines because of his ego.
If he dropped it, his support would only go up.....because the people STILL supporting it now are having breathing issues.

cough cough red flag laws
Trump supported red flag laws.
https://archive.ph/G8NEv
Trump banned bump stocks.
Trump has no leg to stand on the second amendment if he tries to get cute with this weak argument.
Also fyi Governor Rick Scott is the one who passed the only red flag laws in Florida.
DeSantis is looking to pass constitutional carry in this year's legislative session in Florida.
Wrong governor.
We're all going to die down here

From a marketing perspective the best he could do is just never mention the thing ever again
now i only go there to read the headlines and tell people to cool it with antisemitic remarks

Remember that Trump keeps touting the vax.
Diamond and Silk are huge Trump devotees.
If Diamond took the vax it was likely only due to Trump shilling the vax so hard.
Trump 2024 psycho Laura Loomer is bragging that Trump paid for Diamond's funeral arrangements.
If Diamond died thanks to the vax then Trump is atleast partially responsible.
Least he can do is pay for the funeral.

Why? Easy.

I'm surprised she took it in the first place.
She didn't, at least according to their Twitter.
Won't stop the loony bin brigade though.
I mean, her own sister suggests it, I don't know. If Diamond was alive she would probably say it was the vaccine too.
On the other side it was amusing to see people around me go from:
There's no way I'd take Trump's vaccine!!
to
Inject me harder, Daddy Biden! If you don't take the vaxx you're a plague rat and need to be put down!!
It was like a switch was flipped in the NPC brains Nov 2020.
