President Donald Trump might still be having a hard time understanding how vaccines work.

CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted that at the start of an event at the National Institute of Health, infectious diseases expert Dr. Tony Fauci was forced to, again, explain to Trump how long it takes to develop vaccines. He cited past examples using other viruses and the timeline for developing those vaccines. ...................................

1. I've said this before...if Trump can find a company that will

produce a vaccine without testing it, Trump will try to sell it to the American people. Mark my words on this.

[durablend]

3. He'd approve syringes full of piss if it helped him get reelected

[mmbrevo]

33. This is something to be concerned about.

Not piss, but what's to stop them from coming up with a fake vaccine? Man, that mofo has me paranoid.

[dchill]

6. But only if he gets a cut.

[jb5150]

16. And if a Russian model

agrees to squirt him with it ….

[DENVERPOPS]

18. And Ivanka and Jared and Donnie Jr.

will do the contracts for supplying the entire U.S. and take a %age. Of course, without testing, their vaccine may wipe out more people than the virus.......

Rumsfeld did some corrupt personal profiteering similar to that on a drug called Cipro when he and Cheney were running the country.........

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Will MF45 file a suit against CNN tomorrow for defamation?

[riversedge]

4. Dr. Fauci had to correct Trump at a later meeting...........

Trumps ego just insists on giving out lies. over and over.

“At meeting with pharma companies, ⁦Trump says he is hearing that a vaccine can be ready in three to four months,” reported Reuters reporter Jeff Mason.


Dr. Tony Fauci cut in to make it clear to reporters that any vaccine will not be ready to send to people for at least a year. ..............................................................

7. Install a moron

expect idiocy.

[tclambert]

8. But Trump saw a doctor on TV make a vaccine in a matter of hours. Dr. Leonard McCoy I think

his name was.

[Blue_playwright]

25. I'm not sure he's smart enough to

Watch Star Trek.

[3catwoman3]

26. Likely not. Trek fans...

...are an intelligent lot.

[not fooled]

30. Too diverse

for red don.

He prefers Gone with the Wind to all this multicultural stuff.

[Backseat Driver]

29. Took a bit longer, but there was that female physician, Dr. Rachel Scott,

played by Rhona Mitra, on the USS Nathan James, the Last Ship, who developed the vaccine/cure for the Red Flu pandemic that wiped out 80% of the world's population.

9. Try this:

Shot thing! Filled with stuff. The stuff has little things in it. Those little things make little body things in blood become different kinds of body cops.

Body cops catch bad, bad, badly virus critters and shoot them in Times Square, kind of. All the phagocytes will vote for you, too. Bigly good! Lots of votes because of filled shot thing. The virus will pay for it.

[tclambert]

35. You need to throw Trump's name in there once in a while to hold his attention.

And "phagocytes?" What would Trump do with that word?

He asked if a "nice solid flu vaccine would help with this." He really has no idea how vaccines work.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. He just ain't gettin' it. Where's Catheter Cowboy to 'splain it to him?? Back to reform school Donny

For the John Oliver reference

[Rebl2]

11. Please test it

on him first.

12. Ideas and facts get lost inside Moron's head

and die for lack of oxygen.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Have seen a few dozen pictures today from

various meetings and Conferences with he or Mikey the Pence. Talk about a pair of losers. Orange Anus is totally our of it,he could care less,only wants a Photo Op,Mike the Pence is just as stupid,again praying it all will end and he is still VP.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

14. His blatant ignorance is stunnning, reminded of what linguist said about his remedial

27. That was fascinating. Thnx for posting it.

I laughed out loud when Professor McWhorter called Trump “a little nose-picking jerk.” So true!

[Thomas Hurt]

17. Donnie believes in the Mengele method of R and D

[Grokenstein]

19. The look on his face in the first tweet says it all

"Why is this big dumb dummy always saying stuff at me when I already know everything so biggy bigly? Loser! Sad! I won the election by a yuge landsale! What's HE won? Stupid fucker's FAT, too! Total uggo!"

Meanwhile, everything the man's telling him sails in one ear and out the other without ever setting off a single synapse.

[NBachers]

20. "Just make it now, dammit!"

[Dem2theMax]

21. I feel the need to do this.

Now that my head hurts, I'm going to go eat some chocolate.

How in Heaven's name can anyone be so stupid?
Now I have to do this again!

[captain queeg]

22. You can tell he's not listening

He wants someone to say what he wants to hear.

[Marie Marie]

23. Narcissists do not/can not take input.

Their feelings are their reality. Trump lives in his own self-serving reality. They can not learn that which does not fit their narrative.

[Harker]

24. He looks like he's running demeaning nicknames

through his head.

28. Anthony Fauci, who the Trump administration barred from speaking freely, is a public-health hero

The disease expert guided the US through AIDS, Zika, and Ebola.

Business Insider
February 29, 2020



. . .

He’s been the director of the US’ National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, advising six presidents. George W. Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008.

Fauci is now helping to lead the response to the new coronavirus outbreak.

But the Trump administration has reportedly told Fauci and other top health officials “not to say anything else without clearance” from the White House, according to The New York Times. A NIAID spokesperson told Business Insider that “this is not true,” however.

Fauci’s comments about the coronavirus have contradicted Trump’s several times. Whereas Trump said the US “will essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner,” Fauci has estimated that we’re between a year and a year-and-a-half away from a coronavirus vaccine. Trump also expressed optimism that COVID-19 – the disease the virus causes – will disappear, but Fauci has suggested the world is on the brink of a pandemic.

US health experts were angry about the White House’s restrictions on Fauci’s speech, the Times reported, given that the world is in the midst of one of the worst public-health crises in years.

“Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama trusted Tony Fauci to be their top adviser on infectious disease, and the nation’s most trusted communicator to the public,” Ronald Klain, who led the Obama administration’s response to the 2014 Ebola crisis, tweeted on Thursday.

31. Let me remind you all, Trump is an Ivy League graduate.

That's right. Ivy League.

[Harker]

32. He's headed for the IV league. n/t

[milestogo]

36. Yeah, just like Bush and his Harvard MBA.

Didn't learn shit, but his daddy's name got him in and got him through.
