Question: since Trump was the administration in charge of those vaccines, can we sue the president for releasing an "dangerous" vaccine, "harming" Americans?
Like, you can't have it both ways. You can't hate the COVID vaccine and ignore that it was done under Trump's administration. I'm so confused, my head hurts, these people are fucking stupid.
Don't try to make sense of it. These people don't operate within the confines of logic, only what is convenient to their agenda in the moment.

I almost hope there is another huge pandemic, it would probably be the best and easiest way of fighting the war against fascism in America.
If there is a 2nd American Civil War, I would be alright with conservatives not having vaccines. Disease was the #1 cause of fatalities in warfare, and I would like to have fewer enemies to fight.

Its probably just anxiety but since the last one I haven't been able to shake the feeling that another is inevitable.

It did a pretty good job on them the first time. Fingers crossed for COVID 2: The Defuckening

A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
They fucking developed, distributed, and administered the vaccine under Trump 1.0
Apparently Trump was a woke idiot before and is somehow smarter now... Make it make sense Republicans!

So a million and a half deaths weren't enough for those fuckers.
With all seriousness, no, it isn't. They want millions of deaths.
Trump once said that Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller said that he wants America to decrease to 100 million people, who all look like him. That's a 70% decrease in population. You have to wonder how he intends to accomplish that objective.
Now he's Trump's most trusted advisor. He's like Wormtongue whispering poison into Trump's ear.

So that's why zombie apocalypse in every Hollywood movie happens in the USA.
death is the most serious outcome of COVID-19, but was excluded from consideration in the analysis, which only considered hospitalization.
Seems like a fundamental flaw to me.
So they are banning the vaccine that the “trump administration made” ….. America is a third world country and I want out of it asap.

Oh that’s an intelligent policy decision

The pandemic was awesome for us healthy surviving introverts. Not so much for the dead introverts or everyone else.
Yeah....... I wasn't a fan, but that's mostly jealousy talking. As an introvert working in healthcare, it was painful to have to go to work everyday and deal with the dumbest patient population in the history of the country while everyone else got to work from home.
It was like summer school for adults, but even dumber.

Vaccine skepticism isn’t so much about vaccines per se, it’s following a small movement that grew organically and fanning the flames instead of letting it die in obscurity. The purpose here is using it as a vehicle for promoting skepticism of tried and true science.
What’s the greatest enemy of authority? Tried and true facts with no room for dispute. By effectively undermining vaccines, the way is paved to continue to sow doubt and skepticism for other science, making it easier to dispute facts that can and will undermine authority without thus skepticism.
Yes, the added benefit is population control and distraction. If people are sicker and more financially blown up by medical bills they’re far too busy and demoralized to engage in revolution. And there’s less of them due to death. Brain fog from long COVID is beneficial as well.
In addition, they can pocket the funding that would otherwise go to vaccine programs.
It’s perfect, from an authoritarian viewpoint.

The people I would fear the most would be those with nothing to lose.
Which is most of the population at this point. I think this will probably end up being a reminder of the old saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch."

God damn it. If only Genocide Joe had earned our votes and Kamala had smiled a bit less. Remember everybody, nobody vote Democrat until they finally run Bernie in 2028!
Fucking hell.

I heard repeatedly "you should have the freedom to choose to be vaccinated or not". Are those people going to just as vigorously argue against banning it?
