The State of Michigan said that it would not agree to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine absent adequate data from the federal government, joining a growing list of states that would refuse to dole out a vaccine if they believe it was approved on a political schedule.
Câmon Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etcâŚ
#BlueStatesAgainstBadVaccine
Excellent to hear.
Iâm happy Michigan is stepping up in many ways, including offering VBM for all who wish, and even former gov (GOP) Snyder urging folks to vote Biden.
My ballot request was logged in the voter database by the city clerkâs office last week, and I should be getting my ballot at the beginning of Oct.
Letâs get these SOBs gone.
And come on, Virginia. Northam is a pediatric neurologist. He should be taking a lead on the vaccine issue.
âWhy should I care about losers who die from COVID? And people actually VOLUNTEER for vaccine trials?! Whatâs in it for THEM? Suckers!â â Trump, probably
The list will grow.
I think the states still need to get their preparations done for this. It will happen eventually.
the Trump administrationâs plan to begin distributing a vaccine before the November election
the Administration has made it abundantly clear that any vaccine distributed to the American people will be held to the FDAâs gold standard
it would be âextremely unlikelyâ that a vaccine would have gathered enough data from the trial for a late-October approval
Or, in the order of appearance, lies, the lying liars who tell them, and reality, aka Fake News.
No doubt. Iâm curious if the inverse will catch on, that is will âfreedom lovingâ red states start clamoring to be at the front of the line for Trumpâs vaccine? Iâm also wondering if those stateâs governors - you know, the ones telling people that mask wearing is tyrannical government overreach - will come up with some executive orders that compel vaccination? âSorry, no food stamps for you - you didnât get the shot.â âOops - canât go to school without that shot!â âToo bad about that driverâs license renewal - you gotta get jabbed!â
" Officials at Operation Warp Speed â the Trump administrationâs effort to accelerate vaccine development â have promised to âoverwhelmâ the airwaves with vaccine messaging by November."
Should be viewed as nothing short of a Hatch Act violationâŚand networks should refuse the advertising.
Among the many institutions Cockholster has singlehandedly destroyed we can now officially count the FDA. I, for one, wonât trust anything it says until the top leadership is replaced, and wouldnât take a COVID-19 vaccination until it had been proven non-lethal for at least a year.
@sniffit Is this media blitz another facet of the $250 million campaign HHS is going roll out to make people feel good about the virus?
Iâm old enough to remember when the word of the FDA was considered the gold standard for almost the entire planet, and nobody would think twice about accepting their advice, notwithstanding some errors now and again.
No idea about specifics, but the networks and Twitter and FB need to give it the same treatment they would give any dangerous COVID disinformation.
As long as Trump, his family, cronies and all the Republicans, MAGAs, QAnons, White Supremacists, Right Wingers gets to be the guinea pigs and they survive this pandemicâŚI will not refuse Trumpian vaccine!
Oh noes, a maximum $1000 fine and/or up to five years not being able to work for the federal government!
What a pity. So many places will not offer Trump Vaccines, just like they carefully avoid Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, and degrees from Trump University.
Well⌠I think I might be seeing a turning of the tide⌠I live in one of the most conservative counties West of the Cascades. My local paper is full of comments from folks saying they do not trust a vaccine coming from the Trump admin. Who knew it would take being literally stabbed with a potentially deadly virus to wake up Trumpswabs?
When the october surprise covid-19 vaccine appears, I will do what I said several months ago: look at what some of the sane countries that have somewhat successfully handled the virus are doing on the vaccine front, and evaluate from there. In no particular order, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Canada.
NPR had an interview last night thatâs worth listening to. As long as Trump is running for office we just need to keep in mind that âonly he can fix itâ will be his âpromiseâ.
Another interview with Slaoui:
