His administration developed a plan to lead the fastest vaccination plan in human history to take place. My guess is you got the shot. Probably multiple times. Pipe down.

Serious question.

If Trump were President in 2021, how many more Republicans would have gotten the jab?

How many fewer Democrats?

If Trump would have been out there pushing the Vax, via press conferences, rallies etc. during 2021, I believe many lefties would have rejected it and more conservatives would have embraced it. Which is kind of crazy to think about.

No: Republicans and MAGA politicized the vax. That was obvious. Biden and the Dems believe in vaccines, knew the vax was a wise idea--because health experts and scientists say that it is, and there is history on their side--and so the MAGA were not going to listen the Dems. But MAGA---country folk---are not super-proactive, health conscious or community-minded to begin with. They're always parading their individuals and enjoy being defiant (and dumb). That was also a factor. Even so, most Republicans have been vaxed--or have received at least one dose. 81 percent of Americans have received at least 1 dose, so that would include a lot of Republicans.

FLASHBACK: Dems Say They Wouldn't Trust The Feds On The Vaccine | Watch how Democrats spoke about the COVID-19 vaccine during Donald Trump's presidency. | By The Daily CallerFacebook

Guess who undermined public confidence in vaccines?

The Biden administration is trying to shift blame to social media for the predictable effects of its own demagoguery.

Editorial: Trash-talking vaccine is bad move by Biden, Harris

Those who would be our leaders should do or say nothing to erode trust in the process of bringing a life-saving vaccine to widespread application

Moronic rednecks awaiting a redneck. You see where the gangster holds rallies---almost always in rural areas where most of the people
are clueless and they like his embarrassing World Wrestling Federation routine---rambling performative "speeches" full of lies, mistakes, slurred words. And he'll tell all the rubes how much he likes Putin War Criminal and Viktor Orban. Here's a guy who's facing four trials, already been found guilty twice of defamation and been labeled by a judge as a rapist.

Javier Milei​

Address at the 54th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum​

delivered 17 January 2024, Davos, Switzerland​


[Translated from the official Spanish language text appearing on the official government website for the President of Argentina. See transcription note at page bottom for further clarification.]

Good afternoon. Thank you very much

Today I am here to tell you that the West is in danger; it is in danger because those who are supposed to defend the values of the West find themselves co-opted by a vision of the world that -- inexorably -- leads to socialism, and consequently to poverty.

Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some bien-pensant desires to help others, and others by the desire to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism.

We are here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems afflicting the citizens of the world, but rather -- on the contrary -- are their cause. Believe me, there is no one better than we Argentines to testify to these two issues. When we adopted the model of freedom -- back in 1860 -- in 35 years we became the world's leading power, while when we embraced collectivism, over the last 100 years, we saw how our citizens began to systematically impoverish themselves, until they fell to 140th in the world.

But before we can have this discussion, it will be important, first, to look at the data that supports why not only is free enterprise capitalism not only a possible system to end world poverty, but the only system -- morally desirable -- to do so.

If we consider the history of economic progress we can see how, approximately, from the year zero to the year 1800, the world's GDP per capita, practically, remained constant throughout the entire reference period. If one looks at a graph of the evolution of economic growth throughout the history of humanity, one would be looking at a graph in the shape of a field hockey stick, an exponential function, which remained constant for 90 percent of the time, and then shoots up exponentially from the 19th century onwards. The only exception to this history of stagnation occurred at the end of the 15th century, with the discovery of America. But apart from this exception, throughout the entire period, between the year zero and the year 1800, GDP per capita, at the global level, remained stagnant.

It detracts from the primary focus of the message - which is good and accurate. Instead, most people will focus on the highly questionable use of "genocide" .... The message didn't remain on point.

I do not think that people who get hung up on the semantics of "genocide" when 30k Palestinians are dead are going to be convinced by the message if he had substituted "funding the killing of 30k Palestinians."
