Governor Cuomo had <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/24\/andrew-cuomo-has-a-plan-to-slow-roll-covid-19-vaccine-in-new-york\/\">said<\/a>, since \u201cthere are now serious questions about whether or not the vaccine has become politicized,\u201d he would appoint two committees of \u201cexperts\u201d to review the vaccine before he distributed it. \u201cI want to make sure that we know it\u2019s safe,\u201d he said. The president <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/25\/trump-rips-cuomo-over-plan-to-delay-covid-19-vaccine-in-new-york\/\">responded<\/a> that Cuomo\u2019s actions would \u201cput New York at the end of the vaccine list\u201d by delaying distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Reid tried to spin the president\u2019s message into a threat. \u201cIs Donald Trump saying that somehow he could withhold a vaccine from the State of New York?\u201d Reid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/audio-rush-transcript-governor-cuomo-guest-msnbcs-reid-out-joy-reid\">asked<\/a> Governor Cuomo, who agreed that was precisely what the president said.<\/p>\n<p>But Reid doubled down on those remarks Thursday night, saying the former president bears the blame for her campaign against the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said that because, in my mind, a psychopath was president. And if a psychopath is telling you, this vaccine \u2014 which is really for my reelection \u2014 is what you should take, there\u2019s a good reason not to trust that,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut now there\u2019s not a psychopath in the White House,\u201d said Reid, who announced earlier in the program that she had just returned from a two-week vacation with Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza.<\/p>\n<p>Reid then asked her guest \u2014 President Trump\u2019s estranged niece, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tell-all-trump-book-sells-nearly-one-million-copies-through-first-day\">Mary Trump<\/a> \u2014 if President Joe Biden\u2019s election might somehow convince more people to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think that there\u2019s some way to shift, kind of, the attitudes of people who are just hesitant, based on the fact that, \u2018Look, guys, there\u2019s not a madman there now. You should really think about it\u2019? Do you know \u2014 how do we even get to that conversation?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mary Trump: Donald Trump Would End American Experiment For His Empowerment\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yqo8cQDzRv4?start=363&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mary Trump said that the Left\u2019s vaccine messaging is \u201ccomplicated\u201d by the fact that conservatives often point out how their shifting position appears to follow a party line \u2014 something Mary Trump felt is wholly defensible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Right is very good at mirroring the Left\u2019s strategies,\u201d she said. \u201cWe rightly call them fascists: They erroneously and falsely call us Marxist, communist socialists, whatever that means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe rightly say, \u2018I am skeptical that a mass murderer can be trusted when it comes to a vaccine, because he\u2019s likely to just say it\u2019s effective to gain voters,\u2019 right? Whereas, now we rightly say, \u2018You can trust the government in this instance.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a bit of a bind, shall we say,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Reid agreed, returning to her theme that the Biden-Harris administration deserves the nation\u2019s unquestioning trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can trust the government when it\u2019s in the hands of someone sane,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that\u2019s the point. And it\u2019s hard, I guess, to make that point any way subtly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that contradicts what Reid said last fall. At the time, Reid argued that it would make no difference whether Trump or Biden won the 2020 election, because President Trump had permanently transformed the federal bureaucracy into a MAGA movement.<\/p>\n<p>On September 17, Reid <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoyAnnReid\/status\/1306762734076342273\">asked<\/a>, \u201cwill anyone \u2026 anyone at all \u2026 ever fully trust the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] again? And who on God\u2019s earth would trust a vaccine approved by the [Food and Drug Administration]?? How do we get a vaccine distributed after this broken, Trumpist nonsense has infected everything? Even if Biden wins?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But by April, Reid\u2019s views had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/30\/public-figures-trust-trump-vaccine-shaming-unvaccinated-kamala-harris\/\">changed<\/a> markedly, as she endorsed the concept of private businesses denying services to anyone who remained unvaccinated by choice. \u201cVaccine-only access to some businesses like bars, gyms, restaurants etc. makes sense to me,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoyAnnReid\/status\/1387132987599429636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1387132987599429636%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2021%2F07%2F30%2Fpublic-figures-trust-trump-vaccine-shaming-unvaccinated-kamala-harris%2F\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cIf people choose to be unvaxxed, they can just miss out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
