Covid thread deleted?

[PTI (pti)]

I’m not trying to rain on your political parade, but the incoming President happily sat back and let Dr Fauci run the country into the F’ing ground for an entire year. He also continues to this day to take credit for the LIFE SAVING vaccine.

I would love nothing more than to see so many people held to account, but I don’t see it happening.

In hindsight, there are many at fault, but AT THE TIME, no one knew how to handle this, and Fauci was supposedly the expert. Lessons learned, but given the many obstacles that hit at record speed, there wasn't exactly a list of options to select from in regards to a resolution. Yes, Fauci should be charged given his relationships w/ China and so forth.

This also applies to the vaccine, which Trump was instrumental in getting produced quickly. Again, you can capitalize LIFE SAVING as a jab (no pun intended) but those in charge were relying on the science of the CDC, pharma, etc. Hindsight plays a role again once we saw how this all played out.

I just recently finished a book about the Sackler family. Their history with OxyContin is well chronicled, but what I didn’t know is how they got their start.

Arthur Sackler actually owned a weekly medical journal (Medical Tribune — distributed to 600,000 doctors across 20 countries) and an advertising agency (LW Frolich).

He pioneered the concept of selling a drug, then controlling all the marketing, communication, and advertising to both doctors and the public alike. What a dude.

Good read. It also sheds light on the incompetence/corruption within the FDA which remains to this day.

I'll grant any leader about 3 months leeway on trying to figure out what Covid was and how to handle it. But by June of 2020, DeSantis had the threat level assessed and had Florida fully back open. Trump continued to call for lockdowns and argued that Kemp, Abbott and DeSantis were in the wrong for opening as late as August of that year. By summer of '20 the fog of war had lifted and Trump was on the wrong side of the ledger longer than he should have been.

He's also still taking credit for the worthless jab, which is ridiculous but in typical Trump fashion, also acknowledged on Rogan and few other long form podcasts that the data on vax injuries cannot be ignored and he's open to looking into the the mRNA spike.

^ There would have been zero retrospective if the status quo remained in power and with this recent announcement of DOGE, appears it will not be an empty campaign promise.

I agree. I gave him plenty of grief for it too in the original thread. The difference is he was anti lockdown after the first shutdown period, but extended it anyway. He was absolutely against it after the second one.

Doesn't excuse his inaction but still.

The vaccines in and of themselves are fine. The problem was the lying from pharma and the fda that 1) oversold the efficacy and 2) undersold the risks.

If I didn’t live through it I wouldn’t believe it happened.
