ReplyDeleteSo, how does Trump get credit for this?
Shouldn't Boris Johnson get the credit?
If we have Donald Trump to thank for this, then why did the British get it first?
The country has averaged about 2,237 daily coronavirus deaths across the past week, while we wait & wait & wait for the FDA to approve a vaccine that is already saving lives in Britain!
ReplyDeleteWhy is this taking so long? Why is there no sense of urgency? What's the FDA doing tomorrow that's so important they can't approve this vaccine NOW.
If the vaccine isn't safe, will it kill 2.237 people tomorrow, because that's how many people are going to die, even now when we have a vaccine!
Tomorrow's deaths are on the FDA!
Oh, that's right, the British have socialized medicine, which means the infrastructure for mass distribution is already in place.
ReplyDeleteThe Trump Administration isn't sure how much the vaccine will cost, but the British get it for free, because they have socialized medicine.
We can't have that here, because socialism is bad, & universal healthcare is an unworkable pipe dream.
I wish my fellow country men weren't so god damned stupid.
If we all kneel down & kill the ring of the rich man, maybe he'll give us the medicine we need to live, or maybe not, we'll see....
Trump is finished. So there's that.
