Much credit for the vaccines goes to Bill Clinton and his team for their Human Genome Project*.

* Or their backing of that research which now helped in the speed in developing the vaccines.


I will still die mad at what happened to Hillary in 2016 because if she had been rightfully installed
into the White House we and the World would neverhave had to go through this C-19 nightmare.
President Obama and his team left the people, the protocols, and materials in place to tackle the
virus from the start.

BTW big props to the DUer who first posted this knowledge of Bill Clinton and the Human Genome
Project.

1. Can you imagine the Republican outcry if Hillary was president when Covid-19 hit?

A) If she had followed Trump's path, the negative press from FoxNews would have been deafening.

B) Anything she would have done with her own decision-making process, would have borne better results than what Trump came up with, but it still wouldn't have made a difference. The negative press from FoxNews would still have been deafening.

2. Hillary would not have:

* Disbanded our Global Pandemic Task Force in 2017

* Fired the CDC's epidemiologist who was on the ground in Wuhan China in 2018

* Pulled us out of an international group called PREDICT .... looking for Pandemics ....
in late summer 2019

* Sold 18 tons of PPE to China in Feb. 2020.

*********
Hundreds of thousands dead Americans are on Trump. End of story.

3. Even with all that, they still would have criticized her.

4. I know you are right. We have had 35 + year "get Hillary" agenda by the right. Because she ...

... scares them and one of their big tools was to infect the minds of mouth breathers what
a nasty "anti-man" person she was.

I remember after 2016 hearing right wingers saying, "@ least we stopped Hillary"
having no clue what kind of hellscape they had help to unleash w/Trump.

8. Of course, but the pandemic would have been controlled

at outbreak points. No President Trump to tell people to spread it out of political loyalty and spite.

7. Hillary is just the name. You could substitute any democrat and the response would be the same

assuming the democrat is presidential material. Biden or Harris. There you go. Outrage.

So once you're aware that it's not the person, but it's all fake outrage on the other side to create the impression of controversy, then you should just eliminate the fake outrage and understand that whatever democratic policy is being instituted, the other side is going to lose their shit. Fuck 'em! Move ahead with the democratic agenda no matter what and DO NOT allow them to shape which democrat we elect. We'd be living in an alternate paradise had Clinton won in 2016. Could you imagine?

WE'RE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE OUTRAGED!

5. Even W helped

Even George W Bush helped. He read a book about the 1917-19 pandemic and expanded our pandemic preparedness dramatically, possibly one of the only actual good things he and his crew ever accomplished. T45 dropped the program from either bias against Obama or he wanted a pandemic.

6. Compared to the sum of all scientific knowledge, that which was created solely by one scientist,

or one project are very few. Every significant achievement was created at least in part by standing on the shoulders of generations past. The vaccines and the genome project are a near-perfect example.

9. Why we shoud forcefully elect democrats at all levels of government.

The QOP suppresses our nation's true potential.

11. Oh Lord,

don't tell them that. That creates a whole new set of conspiracy theories.

[Traildogbob]

12. Oh yea!!!!

Now THIS is how you “own” the repukes. Wait for the pink mist of exploding heads. Will not stain those Chinese Red Hats though. Not a brain cell damaged. Let’s tell em the vaccines were made from fetuses and adrenaline infused baby blood. Harvested by the Clinton empire and financed by George Soros. Made in Jewish labs by overpaid black and gay lab techs. Using Gates micro chipped computers. Fauchi oversaw all the processing. Give Capital police blow darts with the vaccine and pop em in the ass of the likes of MTG. Make sure they know the ass that is not resting in her shoulders.

13. Thanks for this post.

I recently saw a brief reference to Bill Clinton and the HGP but didn't catch the details.

More ammo for my factoid weapon, not that it makes much difference to the trenched in opposition. It's withering fire nonetheless.

14. It is sometimes nice to hear Bill's genius ..... the grasp on the issues, the complexities, and ....

.... the nuances.

In the future we will be able to get a the complete genetic blueprint of a cancer or a disease
and so we will be able to know how to attack it. This will be some of the most important science
of our generation. not even a rough quote .... but kind of what the big dog said.
