July 21, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, JohnSnowsHair said: Yes, mobilizing FEMA helped immensely. They set up huge vaccination operations near population centers, and mobile vaccination vehicles to reach more rural areas. None of that started or was even being considered while Trump was throwing his temper tantrum over losing. The country is "worse" because we - and the world economy - is still dealing with the aftershocks of Covid. The global supply chain was kneecapped, old refineries were shut down and simply won't reopen because the profit isn't there. More dollars were printed by the Fed in Trump's final year than Biden's presidency so far, so the inflation was coming regardless since between supply issues and money printing there's your inflation issues. If Trump was still president we'd be in the same situation. Possibly (probably frankly) worse because he'd be bullying the Fed into lowering rates, but I don't want to go far out on a ledge speculating on what Trump would or wouldn't have done. But his history is consistent with a guy who maximizes the short term and tries to dump the longer term problems (like paying contractors) on someone else. That sort of ... decisionmaking ... can look really good when things are fairly stable and operating normally. Which they were until an actual crisis requiring leadership both in skill and communication hit us march 2020. That's when Trump was exposed. False Covid was never worse than when it started, sell that bull ish somewhere else. The medias reaction to covid is the sole reason Trump lost. To say things would be as bad as they are now is completely baseless and delusional

No its more like when Obama/Biden targeted and spied on unfriendly reporters and weaponized the IRS as a political weapon. That was before CNN told you to be outraged, though.

It provided access to vaccination far sooner and more efficiently than Trump's "let the states figure out" approach ever would've. I was vaccinated at one of the sites by a crew of USAF dudes who had that long ass line moving faster than a chick-fil-a drive thru.

Would you have gotten the vaccine without this "mobilization?" IMO it made only marginal difference. Looking back now Im not sure how you can argue that It was more about creating the perception that Biden was going to save the day.

Not as soon, the existing appt I had was for April 25th, which was more than 3 weeks after I ended up getting it at Ford Field. Quote IMO it made only marginal difference. Looking back now Im not sure how you can argue that It was more about creating the perception that Biden was going to save the day. You once famously argued that without Trump the vaccine never would've been authorized before the end of 2020, so it's painfully clear by now that you're not even remotely tethered to reality when it comes to this subject.

July 21, 20223 yr 7 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: It is wrong. Delta was more severe than Alpha. ok... what we are dealing with now is very much less severe. What we have been dealing with for the past year has been very much less severe. This hasnt been a big deal in quite some time. Cases spread, and no one really cares anymore because we really dont need to be afraid of dying. Even long covid is far, far less common, and not really a fear anymore. Now its going to feel like a cold, or maybe a little flu like achiness. And then its gone.

Even long covid is far, far less common, and not really a fear anymore. Now its going to feel like a cold, or maybe a little flu like achiness. And then its gone. Wrong again. Omicron emerged in SA just over 8 months ago, it hit here mid Dec and took over about a month later. Everything before that was Delta which hit last summer. Delta was very much a big deal. Regardless though, the risk to unvaccinated patients with no prior immunity has always been high and still very much is, which is why daily deaths soared in Jan despite this "very much less severe" variant.
