quick thread on media claim that Biden sometimes wearing mask is driving vaccine hesitancy — that he's signaling there's no light at end of tunnel, and vaccine doesn't work

The evidence is overwhelming that the people who refuse to get vaccinated are made up largely of white, conservative, Trump supporters who have treated the pandemic as a partisan issue and who refused to wear masks last year.
Taking their cues from Trump who spent much of 2020 mocking people who wore masks as being "politically correct," they lean towards thinking the virus was a hoax.
The idea that those entrenched Republicans are now looking to a president *they uniformly dislike* for guidance on the pandemic, and that if he sometimes wears a mask it will deter them from getting vaccinated, defies logic.
