Azar Defends WH’s Refusal To Share COVID Vaccine Plans With Biden’s Transition Team

When Trump starts winning in court, I’ll start worrying. That hasn’t happened, and I see no indication it will.

The problem for Trump is he was so overwhelmingly rejected by Americans, even this SCOTUS can’t find a hook to latch onto to overturn the will of the majority.

Yes, there are too few IGs left that Trump hasn’t fired and replaced with one amenable to Trump, or they have gotten around to filling the vacant positions because Trump keeps firing them.

Being a Team Player is almost as essential to a lobbying career as is having access to the levers of political authority. He came into the administration from Big Pharma, and to Big Pharma he will return.

Kind of a hard one to figure - someone from Big Pharma willing to let as many Americans die as possible.

The problem is that the healthcare workers who they are also killing did not vote for this and do not deserve to die as a consequence.

This is insane. There needs to be a plan to refuse care to those who refuse to take precautions.

Maybe they should be able to consider that when they are forced to do triage. But I’m betting they won’t since that’s not how they do it.

Fortunately, these IGs are not lone mavericks that can be picked off for good one by one. Each has a fully-staffed department with hundreds of employees – the HHS IG has 1600 – who, fortunately, provide a ‘Deep State’ and an institutional memory that will outlive the current maladministration.

Not that trump isn’t doing everything he can to cover his tracks and, incidentally, break the neck of democracy.

Azar is pathetic. I’m surprised he doesn’t constantly appear in a defensive crouch, shielding his head. Can’t wait for a new team.

Big Pharma is undoubtedly cooking up a bunch of snake oil remedies for long-term treatment of COVID survivors.

Revidesivil may cause bleeding of the lungs. In certain COVID-19 patients, Revidesivil may cause brain fog to worsen. Do not take Revidesivil if you are allergic to Revidesivil. Update your will before taking Revidesivil. Ask your physician if Revidesivil is right for you.

You are right, unfortunately, but this may be one of the things that have to change. Another way would be to let insurance companies deny coverage to those who have refused to wear masks. Insurance companies are masters at investigating and finding ways to deny coverage, so if we sic them on the mask-refusers, I’m betting they will find a way to financially impress the mask deniers with the need to wear masks.
