    1. Robert The Bruce they better that’s their job… trumps campaign manager Paul Maniford is a US traitor just Google him… not one thing from the steel dossier was ever disapproved…he’s been laundering money for Russian oligarchs, for those like you…(not real bright) that’s Russian mafia, for many years

    2. @Ivan P Freely of course you make an outrageous statement like that with no source, which to be honest is the same as 95% of the other commenters who have no source just something they heard at the barbershop

  1. Question for t’rump: Should we just use the same needle we used for the clorox as the vaccine? Or is that vaccine not needed anymore now that we’re dead from that clorox shot? 🤔💀

    1. Trump is a fascist. He was always a fascist. He literally called himself a nationalist, claimed he alone can solve all our problems, & generates unity among his crowd by vilifying the Other. He’s fetishized the military, mythicized the US role in history, & vilified leftists, intellectuals & the press.

      The only way Trump could be more explicitly fascist is if he started openly admiring Mussolini, Hitler & Franco.

  2. What’s in the vaccines? Will they come in different flavors? Can it only be taken via a shot or can it be snorted or put into some Zig Zags then smoked? 🤔

  3. I’d much rather we have a safe, tested vaccine, then a rushed out one. Masks and social distancing have proven effective when actually followed. Which Republicans won’t.

    1. Jill Genrich , and all those international flights leaving Wuhan everyday after China cut off all internal travel to Wuhan because of the virus , has nothing to do with the spread of the virus ? Trump never encouraged people to go to movies restaurants and Chinatown after the virus started spreading like democrats and their fake news slaves did

    2. @Saynoto Socialists
      Trump encouraged every America that was overseas to cram into an overcrowded airport without protection to return home and go wherever they liked throughout the US, when he wrongly announced he would be closing all borders. A complete moron!!!

    3. Jill Genrich Well if you are a health care professional, you SHOULD be washing your hands dummy. I haven’t had a flu vaccine since 1990 before I left for Desert Storm. That Vaccine has an effective rate of less than 10%. Countries in Europe will give those stats and places like Japan does NOT give them. Still up to, not every year, but up to 60,000 still die from the flu. We don’t shut down for that season Nov. till mid March. You don’t quarantine HEALTHY PEOPLE.

    4. @Don Williams
      The point i am trying to make to you dummy is YOU DON’T KNOW WHO IS HEALTHY!!!

    5. @Don Williams You are only telling half of the truth. 60000 people may die over a whole year, why are you comparing that to COVID? More than 80000 have died in just over 1 month, and that was with social distancing and lockdown. I used to believe that I didn’t need the flu vaccine either, I’d rather let my immune system do the work, but what I didn’t understand then was I could be carrying the flu and pass it onto others, so this year, the first time in over ten years, I got the shot. Even though it might not be 100% effective, it is still better than nothing. I’d like to see where you got the 10% effectiveness number from, according to the CDC it’s much higher.

  4. I’m confused by the air of urgency in distribution, we’ve done this before right at the clinic or the lab. We won’t be seeing this stuff till January, by then we’ll have competent leadership to steer us with science and logistics, not baffling bulltschit and fingerpointing.

    1. HIV as a virus is much different. It mutates rapidly and the human immune response can’t eliminate infection, so an effective vaccine is much more difficult to make. The coronavirus we’re dealing with now doesn’t have these issues.

  5. The cure for #tRUmpvirus is fire tRUmp… then trumpets can vaccinate themselves with AR-15s since they seem to believe that’s the answer to all their inadequacies.

    1. You’d better get a better drug dealer. The one you have now must be feeding you horse tranquilizer.

    2. Trump is a fascist. He was always a fascist. He literally called himself a nationalist, claimed he alone can solve all our problems, & generates unity among his crowd by vilifying the Other. He’s fetishized the military, mythicized the US role in history, & vilified leftists, intellectuals & the press.

      The only way Trump could be more explicitly fascist is if he started openly admiring Mussolini, Hitler & Franco.

  6. The easiest method to deploy the vaccine dose would be…skilled slingshot experts…open wide!!!😆

  7. Im just looking out what Europe will be doing abt vaccin, if Trump involve got no confidence. Let it be late but safe and not early but deadly.

  8. Found vaccine, well tested for safety, made and distributed for all in 7 months. Show me. What may be side effects? Show me first. Still won’t vote for you any way Let’s see your next miracle behind the curtain.

  9. The admin can’t even hand out masks or tests for every person…I won’t trust that vaccine….A complete failure on trump….

  10. I heard a preacher say today that Trump in his opinion was meeting with the Devil Himself at night because there is no other way to explain what he is doing as pure evil wow.

  11. THOSE WHO CONTRACT THE CORONA VIRUS BECAUSE THEY IGNORED THE SAFETY MEASURES, SHALL PAY 100% OF THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENT.

  12. Keep your eye on the prize! Remove Trump and all Republicans wherever possible. Vote. There is no greater threat to our Freedoms at the moment. Vote. Vote like your life depended on it, because it does.

  13. Just a friendly reminder amerikkka cannot do 20 millions tests in 4 months meanwhile China did 14 millions test in 10 day 😂
