COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

[Uncle Rico]

4ever's gonna spin to justify who he voted for.  Nothing new here.

Yes, he voted for a grifter and criminal

[4everwarriors]

Most "came to be" under Pfizer's scientists' watch.

But it is ironic -- actually, probably more moronic -- that it's mostly your god's followers who are refusing to get the vaccine that they, like you, want to credit him for inventing. The cultists would rather go against their god and die than do what's right ... because too many "socialists" say vaccination is good.

And having seen GOP politicians get booed for promoting vaccinations, and always wanting to kowtow to his cultists, your god is now publicly saying he won't get a booster shot.

I only push my own little wagon. Fully vaxed and booster is scheduled, hey?

You mean the lifelong Democrat elitist who was born in Queens with a silver spoon in his mouth, but still manage to be the biggest failson in history until his own son came along?

That guy?

Ahem...go a little lighter on the politics gents...

So XXXIV, you're one of those who crucified President Trump for contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Yet, FD Joe has had more U.S. deaths, under his watch in 9 months, than Trump had in all of 2020.
I see how the kinder, gentler, woke crowd operates. Shamefully, you're much too old to fall for their rhetoric, aina?

1. Half of the deaths since Biden took office occurred in the first ~1-month he was in office. Those individuals contracted COVID COVID prior to his inauguration, or at the very least within the first week he was in office.

2. Those cases occurred before a vaccine was widely available, and before immunity from the vaccine would have set in.

3. COVID set in, in March of 2020. So Trump's 2020 amounted to also...9-months.

Let's not minimize under who's watch the vaccination came to be.
The other can't spell vaccine if you spotted him the 3 vowels, hey?

4. Development of the vaccine that was used to fight COVID started in 2003 under George Bush. So technically, the majority of the vaccine development occurred under Obama. I still give Bush the most credit though, because it was his realization that we needed more modern approaches to vaccine development that created the pipeline, techniques, and technology that allowed this vaccine to come to fruition.

All Trump's administration did to foster its development, was guarantee purchase of x-number of doses, so that big Pharma could afford to run all the phases of testing concurrently, and in conjunction with production. That was important, but it had nothing to do with its development at all.

The development of a vaccine aligned with Drumpf's self-interest; he thought he'd be a hero and win reelection. After he lost, he didn't give a rat's ass about production or distribution of the cure.

C'mon man, I can guarantee President Trump does not support FD Joe, aina?

It's sad.  They've been so brainwashed by this conman, they can't see through the grift.  I'd feel bad for them but I'm just sad for them instead.  It's obvious they've been so corrupted by years of Fox News and grifters like Rush Limbaugh, they've lost their way.  You're not getting them back without help from their families and friends and even then, it's probably a long shot.  There's little doubt 45 was the worst thing to happen to America in quite some time.  He was a natural reaction to having a black president, however, and shows how deep seated systemic racism is in this country.  A century from now, this period in American history will be looked back on in shame as people wonder a man like 45 could fool so many.

Trump has been gone (something I'm not sorry about) for 9 months. In that time, the current senile incompetent in chief has seen his approval rating fall from 57% to 38%. Independents are abandoning him in droves. It has nothing to do with Trump, Fox News or racism. It has to do with the fact that the guy's obviously not all there. The only folks who can't see the obvious - that this guy is unfit and dangerous - are as brainwashed as any Trumpster ever could be. But stay focused on the former President - that will surely help us out of the messes the current one is presiding over.

Yes

Yes, though wildly disrespectful of someone who's not all that older than you based on your posts

Source?

Yes

conjecture, I agree though odd never mentioned with previous president

Lmao ok well if we try to overturn democracy you'll be right but till then you're making a wild false comparison that there's actually evidence to show just how terrible of a comparison it is unlike previous times.

You're right that the focus on the former president is bad although it's disingenuous to ignore his lingering impact

Anyway, great article on bad Covid predictions.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/briefing/covid-restrictions-delta-caseload.html?referringSource=articleShare

"In the case of Covid, the fable we tell ourselves is that our day-to-day behavior dictates the course of the pandemic. When we are good — by staying socially distant and wearing our masks — cases are supposed to fall. When we are bad — by eating in restaurants, hanging out with friends and going to a theater or football game — cases are supposed to rise.

The idea is especially alluring to anybody making an effort to be careful and feeling frustrated that so many other Americans seem blasé. After all, the Covid fable does have an some truth to it. Social distancing and masking do reduce the spread of the virus. They just are not as powerful as people often imagine.

The main determinants of Covid's spread (other than vaccines, which are extremely effective) remain mysterious. Some activities that seem dangerous, like in-person school or crowded outdoor gatherings, may not always be. As unsatisfying as it is, we do not know why cases have recently plunged. The decline is consistent with the fact that Covid surges often last for about two months before receding, but that's merely a description of the data, not a causal explanation."

Especially in a President.

Whether it's as bad as being the 2nd biggest a$$hole on Scoop is a matter of opinion.
