President Joe Biden said Friday that he is planning to request more money from Congress to develop another new coronavirus vaccine, as scientists track new waves and hospitalizations rise, though not like before

Republicans will fight him on this, because somehow they’ll find fault in this if a DEMOCRAT does it.

Huh yeah it reminds me of when Trump came out with the first vaccines and all the Democrats said they didn’t trust it. At least until Biden was in office. Funny how that works isn’t it? Take the Trump vaccines if you haven’t already and then take the Biden vaccines when they are ready. Stay safe everyone

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.

Oh you mean the same scientists working for big pharma that fudged the data in the studies to get approved. The same FDA that’s a revolving door into well compensated big pharma positions. Right. Take your monthly booster vaxxie

Vaxxie is not the insult you think it is.

Oh of course not. How many boosters have you had?

Being accused of taking boosters is not the insult you think it is.

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.

Nope, you apparently just think Trump has anything to do with a vaccine. Absolutely laughable position.

ANALYSIS | Why Trump's Operation Warp Speed is credited with helping accelerate COVID-19 vaccine development | CBC News

Operation Warp Speed, a Trump administration initiative to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines as fast as possible, should be lauded as a successful endeavour in what has otherwise been a poor effort to deal with the coronavirus, experts say.

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.
