Coronavirus Outbreak...

Another slice of gobsmacking Trumpian stupidity:

Your post is contradictory. No vaccine should be deployed until at least 4 years of testing. So Trump is smart to stop this dangerous distribution of untested drugs.

How do you find more comfort with Biden? He is not mentally there. I don't know if Trump will do good for our nation but it does not seem that Biden could even do anything competently if he became president. How do you figure he could be at all effective?

I suppose you could take comfort in the fact that if Biden does manage to win then he won't be the one making any of the decisions. Whoever is pulling his strings will be the real president(s).

Trump new strategy is "Herd immunity" which equates to the infection of 65 - 70% of the population and 2.3 million deaths. This so called expert health advisor, who was dug up for him by FOXNEWS, who has no experience other than being a radiologist, aka an xray technician.

It failed so badly in Sweden after all....

Actually, his new strategy is to do everything possible to pursue herd immunity while denying that it's a "herd immunity strategy".

I half expect them to start recommending "covid parties" for young people.

Yep, you get to be a lab rat for Trump. Good luck, and try to cut down on the co-morbidities.

I am with Trump. The Who will be using a Chinese or Russian vaccine which we can't trust. We already have several vaccine candidates undergoing final testing right now. We will distribute our own vaccine to our people and probably supply the vaccine to any other countries who want it.

The chinese put lead paint on children's toys. Do you really trust them to make a safe vaccine?

That's because Gerald Ford, for political reasons, approved it's use prior to it's being fully analyzed, the same as Trump is trying to do here. Ford was just lucky that the risk of doing so didn't cause more serious medical effects than it did.

Heck, even "routine" vaccines are not 100% safe. I'm not anti-vaccination, but I do think we are an over vaccinated society, and there are a number of side effects that the medical community is reluctant to own up to. Both of my sons developed severe allergies, one to peanut and one to fish (many vaccines are made with peanut and fish products) which started around the time they received their first vaccinations until about 7-years later, which is when vaccines usually need a booster. They went from being deathly allergic to having no allergic reaction at all almost overnight. My wife found the timing suspicious and asked our doctor if the infant vaccines could have been the cause of the allergies. He was extremely reluctant to answer the question, but after she wouldn't let up, he finally said, in effect, "Yes, that is very likely, but you didn't hear it from me."

So vaccines can cause and cure allergies? That's a new one on me.

Cure? No... we didn't have the boys re-vaccinated. They lost their allergies around the time infant vaccines lose their efficacy. As I said, the timing was suspicious, and the doctor confirmed our suspicions despite his extreme reluctance to do so.
