bush_cheney2004 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Posted November 9, 2020 No way....can't be any good...it was developed under Trump's "Warp Speed" program. Wait for the "Biden" vaccine ! 2 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
kactus Posted November 9, 2020 Author Report Posted November 9, 2020 You might find it amusing politicising the vaccine to score some brownies for outgoing Trump....It is nevertheless a breakthrough which is widely welcome Quote

Progress would have been made under any watch. Could even be that faster progress would have been made under a more sane leader. Quote

Oh, he is buying vaccine production from Trump's "Warp Speed" funding. 2 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Nice attempt to deflect, but just demonstrates that what I said is true - vaccine development is not specifically a "Trump success". Quote

OftenWrong Posted November 9, 2020 Report Posted November 9, 2020 Yes, it's great news. Wonder what things would be like if that had been announced say, a week or two ago? Quote

Wonder what things would be like if that had been announced say, a week or two ago? Well luckily there's nothing suspicious at all about the timing of this announcement, less than 2 days after Biden won the election. Because as we all know, drug companies make big discoveries at 6am on a Monday morning a few hours before most people show up to work and markets open. 3 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

DogOnPorch Posted November 10, 2020 Report Posted November 10, 2020 Pfizer is just one company that is developing vaccine. Just so Germany doesn't get ALL the credit as some would like. Johnson & Johnson's is currently what is going into trials in the US, I believe. But hey...Orange Man Bad. 2 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

As I understood it was a collaboration between Pfizer and Biontech that made this happen. So yes the Germans had pretty much contributed to this. The UK Oxford Vaccine is also on its way. It is a fantastic news! Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Posted November 10, 2020 Pfizer and BioNTech still benefited from Trump's Operation Warp Speed because of testing in the U.S., manufacturing orders, and distribution planning.....about $1.95 BILLION worth for all vaccine players. Canada got in line very late in the game to place orders for vaccine doses it cannot manufacture in sufficient quantity domestically. Way to go....Trudeau ! 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Any bets as to when they'll send him to the old Democrat's home? Providing he IS the POTUS, that is... I give until midterms...that's generous. ANTIFA probably hates him now... Then the real work on the Democrat's "Trump Supporter Lists" can begin.... Edited November 10, 2020 by DogOnPorch 2 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Posted November 10, 2020 I want President Joe Biden to go on U.S. national television (which means the CBC will cover it LIVE!) to get the COVID-19 vaccine shot and follow-up booster, same way that President Ford did in 1976. What followed was a fiasco because of Guillain-Barré syndrome. 2 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

DogOnPorch Posted November 10, 2020 Report Posted November 10, 2020 Look...y'all want to give Biden the credit for 'making a vaccine'. I guarantee neither he nor Trump spent one second 'making a vaccine'. 3 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
