Good News: Obama, Biden, All Sorts Of Celebs To Appear On NBC Sunday To Pimp Vaccines

Is this supposed to be aimed at all the conservatives they media keep telling us are refusing to get a vaccine? I have a question about this, but, I’ll get to that in a minute

Biden and Obama to appear in TV special to promote Covid-19 vaccinations

President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama will appear in an hour-long NBC special on Sunday aimed at promoting Covid-19 vaccinations as they hope to convince hesitant Americans to get shots.

The special comes as the Biden administration races to get shots in arms and combat vaccine hesitancy, particularly after it was recommended that the US pause the use of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine over six reported US cases of a “rare and severe” type of blood clot.

The “Roll Up Your Sleeves” special will air at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday on NBC, according to a news release from the nonprofit Civic Nation. It is presented by Walgreens and was created by ATTN: in partnership with Civic Nation’s Made to Save initiative, which is a national public education and grassroots organizing effort focused on equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines and building trust in the vaccines.

Biden will make remarks during the special, and Obama will appear alongside former NBA stars Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal to encourage Americans to get vaccinated so they can help end the pandemic and return to their normal lives.

Biden’s chief Covid-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci will speak on “separating fact from fiction about the vaccines,” and will be interviewed by actor Matthew McConaughey.

The special will also feature former first lady Michelle Obama and a whole slate of celebrities, including Sterling K. Brown, Lana Condor, Billy Crystal, Eric Dane, Ryan Eggold, Dr. Vin Gupta, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Dale Jarrett, Ken Jeong, Joe Jonas, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Joel McHale, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kumail Nanjiani, Ellen Pompeo, Amanda Seyfried, Jane Seymour and Wanda Sykes.

It’s being hosted by Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara, and virulent anti-Semite Jimmy Carter, serial misogynist Bill Clinton, and #NeverTrumper George W. Bush. Who, exactly, is this supposed to convince? If you’re aiming at Conservatives, do any of these folks have influence, other than perhaps Dale Jarrett for NASCAR fans? Rachel Maddow ran a show telling people to get vaccinated the other night: no conservative is tuning in to that. So, this seems to be aimed squarely at Democrat voters. Wasn’t the media telling us that it was all Conservatives who were being vaccine resistant?

If you want to aim at Conservatives, then you have folks like Gary Sinise, Kurt Russell, Gina Carano, Jon Voight, Cheryl Ladd, Christie Brinkley, Dean Cain, Bill Engvall, Tim Allen, Ted Nugent, James Woods, Gene Simmons, Kidd Rock, and others. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott. What’s Demi Lovato going to do, record a song using autotune and take another nearly naked selfie while yammering about “taking her body back”? Will JLO perform on a stripper stage? What dumb stuff with Fauci say?

Anybody saying “you still shouldn’t do anything even if you’re vaccinated” isn’t serious about convincing people to get vaccinated. https://t.co/viKve4COit

Want to convince Conservatives? Don’t do that stuff. But, the special isn’t aimed at conservatives.
