Listening on MSNBC

[TNNurse]

whether we should try for 100 million vaccines given in 100 days. Of course we should try, we may not succeed, but the Trump administration DID NOT REALLY TRY. Which is better making an effort and not quite succeeding or pretending it cannot be done so sitting around????

[Walleye]

1. Trump didn't even pretend to try

[PatSeg]

3. Because he knew (more like hoped)

it would one day miraculously disappear without any help from him. He has a very short attention span and if something isn't about him, it isn't worth the trouble.

2. I'm not sure about that conversation but...

...isn't there some debate about how much of the vaccine should be given in the short term because those people will need a 2nd dose in 4-6 weeks? I understand the goal is to increase production to meet demand but there is some risk involved in going all in and vaccinating as many as possible in the short term considering the available vaccines require two shots...

4. Trump KNEW how dangerous the situation was but didn't care

About people dying. He’d rather sweep it all under the rug, deny its existence all so that he could be re-elected. And sadly, nearly half of Americans have bought his lame bullshit hook, line, and sinker.

[Mike 03]

5. Yep.

We know this thanks to that Feb 7 phone call between Trump and Bob Woodward, in which Trump almost boasted about knowing that COVID-19 was airborne and at least five times as lethal as "even your most strenuous flus."

[Vivienne235729]

7. Exactly! And I think it was in that same conversation that he admitted that it was

Quite virulent. He and his ilk disgusts me.

[SledDriver]

6. Definitely make the effort.

State that it is the ideal goal. Give regular progress updates. Note where issues are and what is being done to address them.

Rather they set a high goal and be open and honest to the reality than they make promises they can't keep and downplay setbacks and spin small achievements as great wins.

8. Do we have the 100 million doses to give?
