Yeah, literally the whole world just waited on our election year to care about some otherwise benign virus.

Don't care about the "world"...you can not honestly say that it was not a political tool used in our election.

 

[Stew Cook]

So who was correct on vaccine development?

Depends on how you define correct. If you think vaccine development should include the traditional safeguards, prior to approval, then I'd say we are still premature per those standards.

On the other hand, if you think this virus is worthy of the risks of foregoing those safeguards, one would be inclined to say Trump's optimism of an accelerated timeline was more accurate.

I dont believe his continued promises of a vaccine in a few weeks, months ago, did much to bolster his accuracy. But if one chooses to ignore his swings and misses, they could say he was 100% correct.

I would say in life, as with politics, this virus could not be ignored.

Was a vaccine developed in under a year. Trying to simplify this for you.

You are dancing around the purpose of the "pandemic" scare in the US, but that is the bias in you.

At this point there's no "thinking" that the President was accurate. It's a fact. He was damn accurate. More so than Fauci and "the experts". When he said we'd have a vaccine by the end of the year he was 100% accurate. That's a fact and not subject to one's opinion

 

[allvol123]

Sorry @Stew Cook even I am incorrect. A vaccine was not developed in under a year. Multiple ones were.

Obviously. Yet if you want to hold up Trump's predictions as prophetic, then you have to ignore the promises that fell flat.

Trump's prediction that we'd have a vaccine by the end of the year was prophetic. Anything else is spin by you

Tough day for you and Jim

Sure... 100% accurate when he said vaccine coming in a few weeks severral months ago. Or do mean 100% correct when he said the one thing that one time?

Please explain 100%, just so we can maybe agree on something.

Your TDS is showing.

 

[Stew Cook]

Your TDS is showing.

Ok. One of his vaccine predictions came true And I'll ignore the other ones.

 

[Sandman 423]

No, it is spreading via Smartphones and TV's

So......... Is that a yes?

 

[Stew Cook]

Sorry @Stew Cook even I am incorrect. A vaccine was not developed in under a year. Multiple ones were.

Thank God Trump made that one prediction that one time. Otherwise we'd have none.

I hate having to repeat myself but I'll do it just for you:

When he said we'd have a vaccine by the end of the year he was 100% accurate.

 

[Y9 Vol]

Ok. One of his vaccine predictions came true And I'll ignore the other ones.

You do realize that they did "have" the vaccine in a couple of weeks. The testing took longer. Did he say it would be distributed in a couple of weeks?
You are trying to hard.

Fact check: No evidence for Trump’s COVID-19 vaccine claim

“In recent months, our nation, and the entire planet, has been struck by a new and powerful invisible enemy. Like those brave Americans before us, we are meeting this challenge. We are delivering lifesaving therapies, and will produce a vaccine before the end of the year, or maybe even sooner!” Trump claimed on Thursday night.​

This is largely false... The president boasts of lifesaving therapies, but critics argue there isn’t enough evidence to back up this claim... There is also no evidence that an effective vaccine will be delivered by the end of the year.​

The Moderna news arrived exactly two weeks after the Atlantic magazine’s publication of an article titled “All the President’s Lies About the Coronavirus: An unfinished compendium of Trump’s overwhelming dishonesty during a national emergency.” Author Christian Paz included on his dubious list moments when Mr. Trump said a vaccine would be ready “soon” and also a comment Mr. Trump made on September 29:

The claim: “We’re weeks away from a vaccine,” Trump said at the first debate.​

We can agree on that.

Cuomo, de Blasio warn NYC to prepare for 'full shutdown'

Or if you want to hold Fauci up as competent, then you have to ignore all his mistaken claims.

Cuomo, de Blasio warn NYC to prepare for 'full shutdown'

I love when that happens to democrat voters

Well you know those taxes we pay every year, the government should provide relief for small businesses. Employers and employees should not have to choose between work and life. But this is not about small business. If it were, jackoffs like you would wear a f'in mask so that the virus spread could be mitigated. Even here in Georgia small businesses that are open are still struggling.
