Of Course; Trump and Cronies Now Jumping the Line
When Trump was infected, he received an anti-viral treatment only ten other Americans had received. He then bragged about how easy it was to overcome the virus. When Giuliani was infected, he was given similar treatment. Now Trump and his circle are jumping the line to get these treatments and the vaccine. Let’s be clear here. Between Trump, Giuliani, Pompeo, and many other in his inner circle, their carelessness has exposed thousands of people to the Coronavirus infecting an unknown amount of people because of his resistance to any viable contact tracing protocol.
Even as this line-jumping is occurring, his sycophants now want Biden to “unify the country” by giving Trump credit for the vaccine. In the Washington Post this morning, former GWB speech writer Marc Thiessen demanded just that, saying that Trump deserves credit for Operation Warp Speed, which never participated or supported the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine developed in Germany. While providing funding for some manufacturing, this vaccine was developed with no US participation. In fact, Trump’s incompetence put the US at the back of the global line for the vaccine since they refused to buy vaccine for more than 50 million people (yes it takes TWO doses to vaccinate, so the 100 million doses Trump touts only vaccinates half that number). There are about 275 million people in the US over the age of 16. The Pfizer vaccine will only cover less than 20%.
Trump has spent the better part of a year downplaying the virus, holding super spreader events, firing staff and insulting science ands scientists and now to “unify” the country we should now give him credit for the vaccine? Fuck that. We’re finally going to see him flee to Mar a Lago sometime between now and January 20 to continue inflicting damage on our society by tweeting his grievances. It will take the Biden administration an untold number of months to begin repairing the vast damage Trump has inflicted on us. The LAST thing he deserves is praise for anything. It’s time to give Trump what he deserves – anonymity and criminal charges. We can start by disabling his Twitter account.
