democrats were the first to cast seeds of doubt on the vaccine:
During a
CNN interview and again during her debate against Vice President Mike Pence, Harris had indicated that she did not trust the president on this matter.
"I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about," Harris told CNN's Dana Bash in September.
“If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it, absolutely,” Harris said during her debate against Pence roughly a month later. “But if Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I’m not taking it.”
Similarly, Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham, currently awaiting the results of his race against incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,
expressed doubt in September about the safety of a
coronavirus vaccine manufactured under the Trump administration and said during a debate that he would be "hesitant" to take it.

Fox News reached out to Cunningham's campaign and Harris' office to see if their attitudes have changed in light of recent events, but neither immediately responded.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also spoke out against the Trump administration regarding trust for a vaccine. On Sept. 24, he said in a
statement that he would have state officials review the safety of any vaccine the president supports.
