Trump has apparently now named a pharma exec and a military general to lead the

effort to develop a vaccine for Covid 19.

I have never heard of either of the men, but I know all I need to know about them: they have agreed to be tools for the most blatantly corrupt and arrogant monster ever to squat in the Oval Office.

I don't trust them. I will not believe anything they say. I assume that they, like their boss, are interested only in acquiring and retaining power and wealth and are willing to see thousands of Americans die if necessary to benefit Trump.

I feel the same way about every willing participant in the Trump regime.

Money and power. Conspiracy theorists will have a hard time trusting the vaccines that are borne of this union.

Remember when he claimed big pharma was in the pockets of the Democrats, and he'd get prescription drugs costs down, then they gave tons of campaign contributions then he stopped attacking them and did nothing to them raising prices sky high.Wonder how much of those campaign funds made it into his pockets ? These people are likely already corrupted or he wouldn't have picked them. Then he corrupts them even more for complete control.
