CDC Tells States To Prepare For Vaccine By Nov. Here's Why Experts Say That's Unrealistic. | MSNBC

100 comments

    1. @The Truth You are lost. Trump is further from God and Jesus than Satan himself. Trump worships himself and himself alone. He never read a Bible and can’t mention a single verse.
      Twice divorced having cheated on every single wife. Incestuous feelings toward his daughter. A promoter of violence. If anyone wanted Trump in office it would be Satan. He follows the story line of discord, sinfullness and war right before the the return of JC.

    2. Yes, he just volunteered himself and all his family since they all care only for the well being of humanity. HA,HA,LOL!!! We know Trump must be pressing for this like crazy, he’s desperate.

    1. @Robby Trump takes hydroxy. He says it works just fine. He also says he’s making the vaccine voluntary since not everyone wants to take it. It’s the dems who are in such a big hurry so they can make it mandatory. I’m not taking it regardless.

    2. 4 keys to prevent Trump from rigging our votes:

      1. Check your voter registration status NOW.

      County clerks in Republican districts across the country fraudulently purge voter rolls of legitimate Democrat voters prior to each election. In the 2014 mid-term election, I arrived at my local polling station only to discover I was no longer registered to vote, even though I had been a resident of my county and living at the same address for seven years. I was forced to cast a “provisional ballot,” which I suspect was not counted in the final vote tally. Since then, I have always verified my voter registration status well ahead of upcoming elections to ensure I have time to re-register in case of any Republican shenanigans.

      2. Vote early.

      In Republican states, there will no doubt be attempts to suppress voter turnout in Democratic districts by limiting the number of polling stations and reducing polling hours. This will likely be under the guise of protecting voters and polling workers from Covid-19 exposure.

      Laws no doubt vary by state. In Texas, voters must vote at their designated polling location on Election Day. However, during the early voting period, voters can vote at any open polling location in their county of residence. This makes it more difficult for Republicans to target Democratic districts for poll closures and restricted hours. Find the early voting laws for your state, and vote as early as possible. This will point you in the right direction: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/early-voting-in-state-elections.aspx

      3. Use no-excuse absentee voting in states where it is available.

      “No excuse absentee voting” means you can request an absentee ballot from your state or county election official for any reason. Currently, 29 states offer no excuse absentee voting, including the most important swing states: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If your state is on this list, request an absentee ballot and mail it no later than October 20th to ensure it is received and counted: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-1-states-with-no-excuse-absentee-voting.aspx

      Mail in ballots can be dropped off at your local election board in most cases, or authorized ballot boxes at various locations in your state. That will lighten the burden on the Post Office that Trump has kneecapped.

      To New Yorkers: New York State has Republican districts. Due to COVID-19, the legislature recently passed several bills to make it easier to request an absentee ballot. The date was moved up so you can request one today. You can use COVID-19 as a reason. For more information see: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-signs-law-sweeping-election-reforms#_blank

      4. Do NOT waste your vote.

      Yes, my fellow Americans, I am also frustrated by the two-party system, and I understand the appeal of underdog third-party candidates. You must realize, however, that a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively a vote for Trump. Don’t believe me? Just look at the numbers. Two states, Florida and Wisconsin, tipped the Electoral College for Trump in 2016. Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes and Wisconsin by a mere 23,000 votes. The top two third-party candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, captured 271,000 combined votes in Florida and 137,000 combined votes in Wisconsin. According to exit polls, the overwhelming majority of these votes were from disenfranchised Liberal voters who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden is not my preferred candidate (“Bernie/Warren 2020” was my dream ticket). Nevertheless, *we must be united in taking back our country* and make America thrive again. Please share this message as often as possible from now to Election Day. Say “NO” to another four years of fascism.

      Flush the turd on November the 3rd! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💩

  1. This is DJT trying to conjure up a October surprise. He has corrupted every institution of government. Its astonishing how many seemingly bright professionals are selling their souls to stroke his ego. He is not interested in the work of being president just the trappings of the office

    1. its called Kompromat.. his father did the same thing to encourage government officials to sign off on deals for FHA money.
      He doesnt hire anyone he cant already blackmail.
      kom·pro·mat

      /ˌkämprəˈmät/

      noun

      compromising information collected for use in blackmailing, discrediting, or manipulating someone, typically for political purposes.

      “the leak shows that kompromat need not reveal anything illegal to be damaging”

    1. @Death To Ming! …I agree…
      in his mind this experimental vaccine is his foot into reelection…
      he can’t brag about the economy cuz Jerome Powell pumped $7 trillion into the stock market….
      there is no way with millions on unemployment, job loss and no real economic stimulas the markets are as high as they are…jmho
      Stay safe

    2. @Think About it here is a thought for you to sleep on. Even if they come out with a vaccine. It’s not going to save him. People are sick and tired of the chaos and bs he has put this whole country through for the past four years. Vote!

    3. @Death To Ming! …absolutely
      I’m retired military, I’ve had my share of vaccines…we are guinea pigs when it comes to them…since I retired in 96 I’ve taken no more vaccines… I have served under several parties but THIS whole administration is something I never thought I would see in our country…we have no other choice but to vote…

    4. @Think About it I can’t go through 4 more years of this chaos. I can’t trust the mail in ballots because of Trump and DeJoy. I to took the oath to protect our nation. I will vote in person for Biden even if I kick for it. Oo rah!

    5. @Death To Ming! …I too will vote in person, and will also vote for Biden…this is one election we can not take for granted….our democracy depends on it….
      Oo rah…bullets to the corp…

    1. @Ann van de Kew I hear the virus stops working when people are eating. That’s why you don’t need to wear a mask at restaurants

    2. @Ann van de Kew uh yes I’m a cranky boomer with years of life experience. Are you deprived of oxygen?

    1. @Linux Patriot More disinformation. You actually believe he’s had NOTHING to do with this. Stop TROLLing. You embarrass Yourself.

    2. @David Here we go again I show and pass on information and you folks reply with insults. You answer is the same as saying that Trump was apart of the Astros banging trash cans the world series. Try having a civil conversation. Show me the proof that he said it. I already said that once. Lets try this one. It was Trumps fault for the great depression of the 30’s and he lied to everyone.

  2. I wonder why the federal government couldn’t do that w/ the Defense Production Act for PPE & tests? They can do a nation-wide push for an untested vaccine but not to protect first responders & test & trace? The corrupt GOP is so f’ing obvious. Of course this vaccine issue is political.

    1. PPE and tests dont make money. “Research and development” of vaccines does. This is all about getting money, power, and votes. The trump regime has paid those drug companies billions of dollars and dropped testing protocols via fast track development. Some people are getting even filthier rich off of this. The government is willing to allow this “vaccine” to go out and hope it’s successful.

    1. @Katherine Lee you need a head Dr . You suffer paranoid delusions. CDC said that the 94% would STILL be alive, some for many years into their old age, if they had not contracted covid45.

  3. WHATEVER YOU DO,DO NOT!!! TAKE THIS DANGEROUS VACCINE!!! TRUMP DOES NOT CARE IF WE DIE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS.

    1. @Armando van Haaren nobody dies from smacking their motorcycle into a tree either they die from the side effects from hitting the tree. And then write it down as a covid-19 death LOL

    1. @Time 4 Change I apologize for the facetious response. My comments were to establish inconsistencies in Dr. Fauci’s statements. I can refer you to ncbi research that shows the agency has been well aware of all coronavirus’ potential for asymptomatic spread as well as the efficacy of masks for over a decade and likely much longer. I support their use to be sure. That is tertiary to the point intended.

    2. Fauci is as evil as Gates and had Judy Mikovits imprisoned for 5 years to try and keep her quiet. She is a world renowned virologist!

  4. Well, it’s official. America is the world’s very first ‘forth’ world country.👏👏👏👏👏…and it only took three and a half years.

    2. Z. Deutch lol I want to copy your comment to pass on but I can’t. Is there a link to where all of this info is?

    1. And some will do.
      Georgia, Florida and a few others will make a big circus out of it, just to get a few people to pivot to the Republicans on November 3rd.

    1. I believe you but you see how this guy actually has a mass population of Republicans backing him??? Furthermore they don’t want the truth they just want to be able to kiss trumps ring. It’s a free country. Remember when that really meant something now that knife cuts both ways.

    1. @JimBobBek “Ought to” is a phrase more fluid than water. It’s just my HOPE that people with good sense outnumber those who want to keep this killer clown in office. I expect nothing but negative CHAOS.

    2. You may be right. I may be crazy. But I just could be the luna…never mind. Maybe I’m crazy. Probably crazy. Possibleee…eee

    1. Trumper’s don’t want it. We want our freedom of choice. Trump will make sure we can choose. He doesn’t even believe in vaccines. Remember the debates?
