As states around the country screamed last fall for funding from Congress to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine, the Trump administration lobbied lawmakers to oppose it, a new report says.
TBF: I think that if the Trump Administration opposed helping to fund the vaccine roll-outs that was likely only a temporary position, you know, just until the Trump Crime Family figured out how they could grift off the program; then, they’d be all in.
Good lord, quibbling over 200 million out of a 8.75 billion dollar package ? Where did they find these people, at Fools Unlimited ? Almost half a million dead now and that number keeps rising due to this type of ingrained idiocy. I live in Texas, over 65, poor health etc and can’t even get a ballpark estimate on when I can get vaccinated. Neither can anyone else I know. trump will kill us all whether in office or not
I have a friend in Fort Worth, 50, good health, got her first shot last week. She took a pic of the parking lot, almost empty. But food lines up the kazoo. What gives in Texas?
Those are reserved time slots. It is not like you can show up for shot. They have so many for that day, we sign up for a slot, they notify us when it is our time a day or two before hand. It works all we need is more vaccine.
So, states that shut down to limit the spread of the virus (read: blue states) would be denied funding for vaccinations on the theory that they would misuse the money to fill budget holes created by their mitigation efforts.
It seems the goal was to encourage the spread of the virus to the widest possible population, either by coopting state leadership or extorting compliance.
Very Drumpfian, that.
Mango? Mango? Seriously? That’s the dude’s name?
Visions of Chris Kattan fill my head.
The Trump administration wanted the pandemic to ravage America to achieve lemming “herd mentality”, and Mango’s penny-wise pursuit of comparative pocket change is pound-foolish proof.
