I believe one of the provisions of Operation Warp Speed was a propaganda campaign via the military to promote vaccine uptake. I'm mindboggled at how well it worked with liberals. Like all of their justified fears about the Trump vaccine went down the memory hole. The government seems to know a lot more about how to pander to the biases of liberals than to the biases of conservatives. They could have easily promoted it to conservatives if they went about it a certain way. Perhaps worked with Trump to sell it as liposomal homeopathic nucleotides or something similarly snake-oily sounding (which isn't even incorrect - the amount of COVID RNA in it is according to my calculations technically low enough to qualify as a low-level homeopathic dilution) and with the media through reverse psychology by slamming it as horse paste or something like that. But then again vaccine uptake would be much lower if they pandered to conservative biases seeing that conservatives are much less scared of conventional medicine than liberals are of Alex Jones style snake oil medicine.
