My first time out, saw this and just had to say something. This is extremely disturbing information if you haven’t seen it. Sorry if any formatting mistakes etc.
Last week a New York Times article say this. The name of the article is Gerald Ford Rushed Out a Vaccine. It Was a Fiasco.
"Last week, news arrived that President Trump had lurched into what may be his most reckless obsession yet: His administration would probably seek an “emergency use authorization” for a Covid-19 vaccine long before some scientists believe it would be safe to do so.”
The meaning of this is obvious to me. Dump wants to endanger everybody for his political gain. No surprise there. But if he has blood on his hands now it might be nothing compared to this most bone-headed of all his moves.
Our own Rachel Maddow ran a pretty good interview on this with an actual medical professional below.
This goes from bad to worse. Kamala says in addition to not trusting Dump as far as she can throw him, in a CNN article Kamala says the following:
“When asked by Bash whether she thought that public health experts and scientists would get the last word on the efficacy of a vaccine, Harris predicted that they will not.
"If past is prologue that they will not, they'll be muzzled, they'll be suppressed, they will be sidelined," Harris said. "Because he's looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days and he's grasping to get whatever he can to pretend he has been a leader on this issue when he is not."”
I had my kiddo vaccinations like everyone else. I’ll probably get my shingles shot soon. But pardon me if I’m not getting excited about Trump grinning at me like a Cheshire Cat and saying “here, take this.”
After doing a little bit of my own research I came across this at CNN.
"Tony Fauci is saying a year to 18 months -- I think that's optimistic," said Dr. Peter Hotez, a
leading expert on infectious disease and vaccine development at Baylor College of Medicine. "Maybe if all the stars align, but probably longer."
Dr. Paul Offit, the co-inventor of the successful rotavirus vaccine, put it more bluntly.
"When Dr. Fauci said 12 to 18 months, I thought that was ridiculously optimistic," he told CNN. "And I'm sure he did, too."
And this.
"I don't think it's ever been done at an industrial scale in 18 months," said Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar focused on emerging infectious disease at the
Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University. "Vaccine development is usually measured in years, not months."
I have always thought from the beginning even the name Operation Warp Speed is something that comes from the mind of a child. I want a thoughtful, cautious man like JFK for president, not a 13 year old Trekkie.
We all know Dump has a way of not listening to anybody. So my question is, sure he’s dumb. But could be really be this dumb?
