@augieray Of course they did. The inept Trump certainly fumbled early on in Covid as well. In his first reign.

@SherBeareth @augieray this isn't a fumble. Killing millions is the goal, not the result of an error

@augieray I thought there already was one.

Edit: Ah, I see it's the speed of production that's appealing and they'd also prep for other flu variants.
