The Covid Elephant in the Room

Everyone has noticed a shift in the way Bloated Tick is now addressing his cult wrt vaccines and boosters.

Why?

Because the vast majority of deaths come from his slavish, devoted followers and by November it may thin the herd out enough to affect the election.

Let's go, Darwin?

3. The former guy is pissed at a bunch of vaccinated RWer's that won't admit they got it. If he's

figured out someone has to try and get his people vaccinated, he thinks the others should have to take the heat too. I'd be willing to bet he's even talked to a bunch of them who told him they got the shots. He might even have people ratting them out if he didn't know. I hope he gets pissed and calls them out more.

And hey if the MAGA idiots don't want to take the vaccine, I'm not gonna stop them! Only bad thing is it gives this damn virus more opportunities to mutate.

due to the companies starting development during his admin, while ignoring that there was already 17 years of coronavirus research that began with the original SARS. To Trump's credit his admin did create Operation Warp Speed, but he also undercut masking, lockdowns and science at every turn - allowing the pandemic to grow out of control and for hundreds of thousands to die.

knee jerk positions, that was not at all well thought out. But then - that is quite characteristic of the man - and his sucker-punch philosophy.

It doesn't matter who it comes from he hears praise and that is all it takes. Biden can say it a few more times and Trump will be all over telling people to get jabbed.
