Donald Trump

[Dougie Do'ins]

Preaching to Americans about taking the virus head on and how they have the drugs to treat it like he got.

 

He didn't mention that one of the drugs he got costs $5k a vial.

 

The best lesson he could give to Americans is to fucking drop dead.

Trump wants his vaccine asap.

 

Even before his diagnosis, the President had taken to calling drug companies to check on their vaccine trials, asking how much longer they'll take and ginning up the pressure around his desire for a vaccine before Election Day. He's also signaling he might speed up the federal approval process, conspicuously stalling Food and Drug Administration recommendations that would delay a vaccine authorization.

 

In his conversations with major drug-makers working on coronavirus vaccines, Trump has been explicit in telling the companies' CEOs that he'd like to see a vaccine move quicker than some of his health advisers say is reasonable, according to a person familiar with the conversations. He has asked whether they believe they can speed up their timelines and has suggested he is concerned that the FDA's regulatory process could slow down progress.

 

Trump's repeated calls -- especially to Pfizer, whose progress the President sounds most hopeful about recently -- are likely to continue through a presidential election that may turn on how voters perceive his handling of the public health crisis.

 

Meantime, experts worry what Trump's undivided attention means for the fate of the vaccine. With so much obvious political pressure coming to bear, people may fear that the vaccines aren't safe for widespread use. Beyond that, they may lose trust in federal regulators and, possibly, in research science.

 

The political climate surrounding a potential coronavirus vaccine already has scientists cringing.

"There just seems to be this huge pressure from an administration that has been very effective at getting everything wrong," said Dr. Esther Choo, an emergency medicine physician and professor at Oregon Health & Science University. "So, it's like, how can this go well?"

White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews dismissed those concerns.

 

"This President understands that this vaccine cannot get bogged down in government bureaucracy," Matthews said. "The Trump administration is focused on delivering a safe, effective vaccine to the American people as quickly as possible and any efforts to undermine confidence in a vaccine are irresponsible and dangerous."

In the first presidential debate, Trump acknowledged that he sees vaccine development not simply as a scientific matter, but also as a political one.

"It is a very political thing," he said. "I've spoken to Pfizer, I've spoken to all of the people that you have to speak to, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and others," he said. "They can go faster than that by a lot."

 

After the late September presidential debate, Pfizer chief executive officer Dr. Albert Bourla penned a letter to employees insisting he would not be swayed by political pressure, adding, "we are approaching our goal and despite not having any political considerations with our pre-announced

date, we find ourselves in the crucible of the US presidential election."

Scientists are particularly concerned that Pfizer could play into Trump's electoral timeline. Trump often trumpets the work of the company, musing aloud about their revealing a vaccine before Election Day.

The entire future US population doing a thalidomide could at least make the Olympics more winnable.

Jesus. These people are either morons or psychopaths. Maybe both.

I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.

That will be partially for the backlash over the social dilemma. They are getting a lot of shit at the minute, sadly they will never go the way of MySpace, as too many people without a computer or who would be unable to turn a a computer on now think it is the internet.

They might have decided that the Democrats/ Biden are nailed on for a victory too, so want to appear on their 'side'.

Stephen Miller has got it. Maybe nature does weed out the nimrods.

They will help to dictate the story, but I follow Alex Stamos on Twitter who used to be VP of Cyber or some such shit, he has good inside sources still and tries to give accurate but still favourable information, he paints a picture there is a lot of damage limitation with regards this. I think they are more worried about their rep than who wins to be honest. They are arguably bigger than the US govt. ~2 billion users

As are you, Corden is never ok, especially if he’s giving it some Elton John chops.

Terrible that Cordon song, wish he'd do carpool karaoke with Waingro from Heat.

WASHINGTON—Expressing frustration that the president was able to attain what he himself never had, former National Security Advisor John Bolton was reportedly seething with jealousy Tuesday that President Trump got to become a real-life living, breathing biological weapon. “If only I had stayed in the administration, I could’ve been the one to get infected with a deadly virus capable of defeating all of America’s enemies,” said Bolton, growing increasingly incensed that the president had so easily stumbled into such an efficient method of viral warfare. “It’s particularly galling because Donald Trump is totally wasting this golden opportunity just hanging out in the White House when he could bring Iran to its knees with one indoor face-to-face with Rouhani. The president has a moral imperative to fight for American interests by coughing repeatedly in the face of Kim Jong-un or at the very least wandering through a crowded North Korean market to infect as many civilians as possible.” At press time, a desperate Bolton was reportedly rubbing used hospital scrubs against his face and inhaling deeply while booking a flight to Tehran.

The dickhead is calling Covid a gift from God. Bit odd considering it's something he's blamed on China repeatedly, and also because he looks down upon everything and everyone that doesn't worship him.
