Republicans will fight him on this, because somehow they’ll find fault in this if a DEMOCRAT does it.
To be fair, the companies are raking in huge profits on the vaccines still. They can afford to do faster research themselves. If the public coffers pay, they should get equity.
Hey, lemme know when we get that dividend for the oil profits we’ve been subsidizing for decades.
You get it in the form of low gas prices.
The only thing we get from those subsidies is an impending end to everything we care about with massive suffering in the mean time.
A majority of their voters are antivaxxers, so it is not just because a Democrat doing it. It is the fact that it is being done at all.
Not a majority, but a substantial number of them. Majority of Republicans got vaccinated, and even a slim majority favored vaccine mandates, but that eroded as it became a Party talking point.
Your memory is faulty. In summer and fall 2020, Trump was indicating to staff he may try to force the FDA to approve a vaccine without completing the required tests, just so he could claim that vaccines were out before the election. That would have been catastrophic and stretched the pandemic out for years. Biden and Harris said clearly and publicly on TV that they do not trust Trump and would only trust vaccines approved by scientists. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both completed phase 3 trials and got FDA authorization in December 2020, and both Biden and Trump got vaccines to show that it was safe.
Vaxxie is not the insult you think it is.
Oh of course not. How many boosters have you had?
I've had every recommended booster. Obviously I'm dead, but magnetic and my wifi signal has never been better.
Or maybe I'm just fine because vaccines have been a good fucking idea since Edward Jenner came up with them over 200 years ago.
Christ, imagine people being this untrusting of all the science and technology they use that has only been in existence for a few decades. You have no trouble using a device invented by 'big technology' to complain about things on a network invented by 'big government.' And all of that is much, much newer than vaccination.
Accusing people of taking boosters is not the insult you think it is.
gish gallop out the door
Quote sources if you claim stuff like this.
Nope, you apparently just think Trump has anything to do with a vaccine. Absolutely laughable position.

Experts agree that the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed played a significant role in Moderna's development of a potential vaccine. (Moderna/Reuters)
Operation Warp Speed nonce. Not that it matters since it was absolute garbage.
You're wrong. I said I wanted the vaccine as soon as it came out and was only available to certain people. Trump's being in office had nothing to do with it. Also, they aren't "Trump vaccines" or "Biden vaccines." That's moronic.
I think they might actually be partisan. After I took the Trump vaccine I felt significantly more right wing. Looking forward to this new Biden vaccine so I can get back to my normal political views.
Lol what? All the democrats didn't trust it? Are you nuts? We were begging for that shit
Hey I just wanna say thanks for making it easy to know who to block =*
Vaccines weren't available to the public until after the election and Republican voters' support for COVID vaccines has been, at best, a slim majority that has only gone down with time. You know other people can just verify this stuff right?
