Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

Covid was just as unique for all world leaders. World leaders handled covid differently. So forget your "However, he was dealing with an entirely new event." furphy.

"hap, Sure.., those lists we've had plenty of times two. Yes, "for those who voted for trump twice" i did just recently say that .. irresponsible. One of the most criminal presidents ever elected in the U.S.A. Character is of no matter in your Trumpian America, is it. Not for those as you who still support the guy who welcomed Putin's 2016 election involvement. And who pulled an attempted blackmail on Ukraine in an effort to get that foreign power to dig up dirt on his opponent in the 2020 American presidential election. And who threatened to pull all troops from Saudi Arabia if Salman didn't cut oil production there .. "

This a slightly edited version of a post originally to a Trump apologist on another board. Posted here to be posted to a post full of relevant links ..

One, Trump was unique in his dismantling of the protective set-ups previous US presidents had left him. No American should ever forget or excuse that. If you can't get past politics on those facts that is clear proof that all your false accusations about me being overly biased is pure projection. It always was, but your refusing to accept that Trump lowered the drawbridge for covid is clear proof of your projection. Face it. The facts are clear on Trump's negligence. And unarguable.

Two, Trump was one of three or four world leaders who first opted for the, discredited at the time, herd immunity approach. Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson and Modi were the other three most mentioned. Another indisputable fact.

Three, you have Trump's spitting in the face of science with his hydroxychloroquine and swallowing bleach and 'it will just disappear' solutions. Before people around him pushed for the vaccination route. Others deserve most credit for that.

Our original sin was doing something that no other country did and you
refer to it, Marty. And that's that we turned it into a political identity issue.]

Slavitt: Oh, always ... there always are. And we need a serious look back kind of objectively at every step. And to try to do that in as apolitical a way as possible. It begins with the fact that we had 12 million N95 masks sitting in our strategic stockpile when we should have had hundreds and hundreds of millions. And I was part of the budget requests after the outbreak of Ebola, I was part of the budget requests that Obama put together to restock the strategic stockpile, and the Republican Congress refused to do it.

Now, it's interesting and it shows in the books, when Peter Marks, who is a career staffer at FDA, came up with the idea of Operational Warp Speed, because he's a sci-fi nut, he presented it to [former HHS Secretary] Alex Azar at HHS. Azar's incoming view before that meeting was that it would take too long to develop a vaccine and that they shouldn't focus on vaccines, we should focus on therapies. To Azar's credit after he heard Marks out, and Marks' plan for how to get focused on developing vaccines more rapidly, Azar supported it and decided to fund it. And the rest is history.

Your defense of Trump is inexcusable. No point in dealing any more with that.

Then you blame Biden for doing his very best in accordance with everything science tells him to do. In the face of opposition of people like DeSantis and you.

You are a Trump apologist of the most damaging kind. And as that, truly a waste of time.
