People can say what they want about Trump's handling of covid but America is the only country who had a coherent plan to develop and produce a covid vaccine.
The US is not the only country to produce a vaccine and Trump is not the reason it produced a vaccine. That Pfizer vaccine we are talking about? Developed by the Krauts in a couple of hours in January 2020.

The US was always going to be at the forefront of vaccine development and production, whether it was Trump, Biden, or your neighbor's Golden Retriever sitting in the Oval Office.

And the Russians have the best vaccine.

Sheepdog @Future President Kamala where do you aussies get off one upping us and taking our place as the least effectual semi developed country in the race to vaccinate? I am outraged.
You no longer get to claim semi-developed status.


So that makes us 3rd world.

I'm very aware of all of that. But I also live in a country where the covid protocol was "Well, but look at the U.S.!" Meanwhile they've got more vaccines than we can give out and applying for third world country status which JT is spinning as being a triumph. Yes, I'm serious.

Just remember my county got 15k less vaccines than your whole country.

Turkish-Krauts, but aye.



They don't, but their vaccine is very good. It is also cheaper and has less stringent storage requirements.
That's what I meant by 'best'. Almost as effective but cheaper, easier to distribute and less risky long-term.

92% compared to 95% isn't an important difference because you can still get herd immunity with it.

This is partially fair, but a lot of the criticisms of the US are precisely because it should be in the best position not to fuck things up and it still fucks things up.

The US problem is that it has the most advanced capabilities and yet still manages to periodically act like a 3rd world shithole.

Australia and Canada are really only good at digging shit out of the ground, so it's not surprising that we can't produce vaccines. Canadians like to think of yourselves as cultured and enlightened of Americans, but really you are just bogan Australian cunts wearing mittens. And like us, you can't dig your way out of this mess.

40% of Canadians know exactly what we are, however in a democracy the 60% gets to make all the decisions. Trump's presidency set Canada back 10 years in its ability to self reflect.

Lost another good friend this week
Former 15 years business partner and someone who helped get me through my Dads passing. He was in terrible health and probably not long for the world but contracted covid in mid January. He called his son last week and told him he loved him and was going on a ventilator and didn’t expect to survive. On Tuesday he passed.

Easily the dumbest thing I've seen on masks in the past week.
Probably longer
As long as anything that goes over your face is a mask it's going to make the efficacy claims dubious. I frequently see people with masks that have external vents, ffs.
