Do you even read the article you post? 'If the public health professionals, if Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely,” Harris said during the live debate in Salt Lake City, when she was asked if Americans should take a vaccine, if the Trump administration were to approve one either before or after the election. “But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it. I’m not taking it.”'

Can you read? She said she won’t take it if Donald Trump says to take it. It’s not like Trump was personally developing the vaccine.

It doesn’t get much more anti-science than that.

(As if Fauci was a reliable source)

I'm not sure how to answer this post because you seem to be willfully ignoring the reality, here. Given Trump's obvious detachment from science (see his repeated assertions that covid would disappear throughout 2020) and political interest in seeing the vaccine pushed out, there was a concern on her part that the vaccine would be pushed out without proper evaluation (of course, this didn't happen).

These concerns are not so different than those which you probably voice about the booster approvals under the Biden administration...(except in this case there would ostensibly be no substantial original data on the primary series).
