1. I so wish we wouldn't see so much of this on DU.

I couldn't give an electron in a molecule in a gnat's excrement what that thing said.

I know... I know...

10. The title lays out pretty clearly what the post is about

[Ocelot II]

2. 100 million? Almost 1/3 of the entire US population? Really?

[Freethinker65]

3. Perhaps, but now they will all die horrible deaths from windmill cancer.

4. So he admits he was lying when he said it would go away, go to zero, etc?

Also, we're supposed to forget that Pfizer's vaccine wasn't part of Operation Warp Speed.

Yeah, okay.

5. He's too humble! Only 100 million?

[agingdem]

8. so what about the 900,000 lives lost because

of his malignant disregard for human life...they don't count?

[dchill]

9. That's a different spin altogether!

6. You don't think any other president wouldn't have put a "rush" on it? Idiot.

7. A lot less Americans would have died if we had Joe Biden in office 1 year earlier,

11. He waited how long to tell

people? He stopped supplies!!

12. Then tell your supporters to get their shots

Wait, you did? And they booed you? And then you were too scared to say it again at your rallies?

Huh 🤔

13. I thought he said Covid was a hoax.

14. The only thing WARPED

is trump's ego.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. But neither vaccine was developed under Warp Speed.

[Celerity]

17. Pfizer did not take part, Moderna and 5 others did (but Rump is full of shit on every count anyway)

100 million would not have died for starters, that is a massive overstatement, and Rump also fought almost all mitigation efforts anyway.

16. he is a fucking fool and a liar (and Pfizer did NOT even take part in Operation Warp Speed)

[krispos42]

18. The mortality rate of covid-19 is 2%

In order for 100 million to die, 5 billion people would have to get it.

We're not quite there yet, but not for a lack of effort by Republicans

20. Another big lie

He clearly resulted in more COVID deaths, not less.
