President Biden: The vaccine was developed and authorized under a Republican Administration, and it'

The RW has been pushing Biden to give Trump credit for the vaccines development. well-he finally did without mentioning Trumps name. I imagine it will not be good enough





President Biden
@POTUS

The vaccine was developed and authorized under a Republican Administration, and it’s been distributed and administered under a Democratic one.

The vaccines are safe, they are highly effective, and there’s nothing political about them.

Was to warehouse the vaccine supply in each State and let the State choose the distribution plan. Execpt he didn't bother to let the States know what was expected of them.

Fortunately the feds opened up a FEMA site in Orlando on the boarder of an economically disadvantaged area. The state was none too happy. When I arrived there was probably 200 people in front of me and I thought I was in for hours of waiting. It took 50 minutes including the 15 minute wait. It was run by the 101st Airborne! Both of my shots were given by young men from California. Less than 2 months after the inauguration.

The state’s plan was shambolic.

Inoculate him against the future repuke attacks he didn’t do anything !

It really will destroy the the right wing that they can’t blame Biden for their not telling their viewers the truth that Covina is not a hoax and they can die if they don’t get the vaccine. It’s because of them we can’t go back to normal life. They are to blame not the Biden administration.

LAura, Tucker, Fox, OAN and Newsmax are to blame.

Our rage with these fools needs to be public at every opportunity.
Why should MY RIGHT to show up to work at an open business be jeopardized because 2 of my coworkers are civically, politically and scientifically illiterate assholes? We need to state publicly that they're seriously underestimating our rage at their idiocy, that were DONE with their excuses and their bullshit, and if it comes down to you get a needle shoved into you or the rest of us deal with another disrupted school year and the chaos that comes with it, I WILL HOLD YOU DOWN AND STICK YOU MYSELF, because fuck you that's why, and because while we all absolutely have the right to live in a functional society that we paid for with our own shot, your being a fucking walking petri dish is NOT a Protected Class.

Sue. Lose. Go Cry. None of us CARE anymore. Get your shot or GTFO.

Our anger needs to be made manifest to them, and to our Employers.

What did Trump do about the vaccines that was so great??! Any president would have put money into vaccine research! And Pfizer didn't even use their money. And as already said on here, Trump had no distribution plan! Fo

And for those Trumpsters who think that Biden needs to publicly give credit to Trump for the vaccines, ask them when will Trump give Obama credit for handing him over a healthy economy that Trump tries to take credit for it himself??!

Facts are facts and the vaccines were developed under a Republican administration. But it’s the same administration that waffled for months playing stupid games about this virus. You want credit? Accept your blame too!

BioNTech. All Pfizer did was buy - and hog - the patent.

They even demanded 3rd world countries put up sovereign assets, including embassies, as collateral (a demand since dropped, for the most part).

further developed in the lab that Dr. Fauci leads. A pos-Doc from that lab further developed mRNA at two professorship stops. BioNTech licensed the mRNA technology for developing a vaccine.

Moderna worked directly with the lab that Dr. Fauci runs in developing it’s own mRNA vaccine.

President Biden seems to want to turn down the anger on the right and get those people vaccinated. But, he could have pointed out that mRNA technology was ready to be used in a vaccine just before President Obama left office, and if Trump had not defunded such efforts, a vaccine likely would have already been ready to go as soon as COVID reared it’s head.
