Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Biden administration sought to depoliticize the fight against COVID 19 and uphold science.  For that decision it earned attacks by Republicans saying Biden is at fault for mandating vaccinations.  Democrats are beginning to fight back, but is it too late?  Republicans have had weeks to oppose vaccine mandates and the public is weary.  So, Democrats are now pointing out how contradictory the Republican position is.  Is anyone listening or do citizens just want the issue to go away?  It's a tough call at a time when everything seems to be caught in a political chasm.  Biden wants Congress to work together as it did on the infrastructure law, but that is nearly impossible with Republicans lined up in opposition and the Democrats' control of both houses so slim. So, Republicans bray against mandates and keep an eye on 2022 elections.  For the moment, they seem to have the upper hand, while appeals to science have been overpowered by their noise.
