Trump's game changer " Operation Warp Speed " corona virus vaccine.
youtu.be
President Trump on Friday announced Dr. Moncef Slaoui and Gen. Gustave Perna will lead the federal government's effort to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine as quickly as possible. Watch his remarks.
--------------
That was over 6 months ago, Trump launched this OWS cv vaccine. Trump is a great visionary. At that time, he knew that the then preventive measures, such as hand washing, face masks, social distancing or even lockdown are not enough to prevent the spread of this pandemic virus and disappear.

His efforts to save the mankind paid off. Now, we have 2 effective cv vaccines ready for use. The first one is produced by Pfizer + Biontech and the other one by Moderna pharmaceutical company. I would like to discuss why the vaccines are game changer to combat the cv Pandemic.

What exactly did trump do?

"Trump is a great visionary. At that time, he knew that the then preventive measures, such as hand washing, face masks, social distancing or even lockdown are not enough to prevent the spread of this pandemic virus and disappear."

Lunacy. What he did was demonize and politicize very effective countermeasures against the spread of Covid when these are the ONLY effective measures currently available. As if a man whose house is on fire refuses to remove cans of gasoline from around his house because "'the fire department will be here any minute.' He is largely responsible for a large percent of the death and suffering in this country due to his intransigent stupidity, what you call 'visionary.'

Ace,

That post is the poorest piece of irony I have ever read. I know it must be intended as irony, because no-one with any intelligence (not even that of a chimp) could take it seriously.

But just in case someone out there might not pick up your intention, let me add to it....

My black labrador is an absolute genius. Back in early February, before there were any restrictions in place, I asked her 'What should we do about COVID?' Then I put my keyboard on the floor.

She tapped out "Leave it to the Big Pharma companies! Promise them lots of taxpayers money for doing what they would be eager to do anyway, and don't distract them with your silly suggestions while you claim in public to be personally leading the research."

What a smart dog!

Visionary
Trump is the most glorious president ever elected to public office, bar none. If he were any more perfect, holy, or righteous, Democrats would crucify him.

Trump told Bob Woodward back in February that Covid (aka the Kung Flu) was six times deadlier than the flu. And that his been born out--Covid has killed more Americans, DESPITE aggressive countermeasures, than all Americans felled by the flu over the past six years combined.

Why did Trump lie to us? It was to prevent panic. You can just picture Trump kneeling before a vast field of graves, a quarter million so far, saying, "you can all thank me for preventing panic."

Yes indeed. THE man of God himself, about whom there is not the slightest whiff of corruption or double dealing.

I will not dispute the fact that Big Pharma Companies make the drugs or vaccines for profit. Capitalists are cut throat monsters who exploit the working class masses. They should be well regulated and controlled by the government to engage in free and fair competition co that everyone can benefit.

There will be no vaccine for most of us in December. But yes, of course I'll get vaccinated when an FDA approved vaccine is available. Likely not until February or later.

December? It seems you are still listening to trump for your information - that's only a good idea if you like being misinformed.

Who should get the cv vaccines first ?

zorro, Thank you for your response that you want to get vaccinated ASAP when it is available. Correct me if I am wrong. Your response implies that current preventive measures are insufficient to stop the spread of cv virus and that we have to reinforce the current preventive measures with the cv vaccinations to do so.

As a health care provider, I should get the first batch of cv vaccinations. I don't know where to get it. Initially, vaccinations will be rationed. There are so many Pharma companies competing each other that within 1 to 2 months, I believe the vaccines will be available. Especially, China can fulfill the needs of vaccinations around the world if the price is right.

"Correct me if I am wrong. Your response implies that current preventive measures are insufficient to stop the spread of cv virus and that we have to reinforce the current preventive measures with the cv vaccinations to do so."

What???

Current measures are FULLY to eradicate COVID if they were carried out consistently, uniformly and drastically. Of course that would come with other costs. Current measures have indeed been shown to be effective, even when not universal. They help, to varying degrees, based on levels of compliance. But a vaccine would be, obviously, vey helpful.

Are you sure you're and MD?? You appear woefully ignorant about medical issues many laymen know about. Based on the things you've said, I'd not let you treat me nor anyone I cared about. What is your medical education and experience?

Vaccine
It will become available some time in late January at the earliest, or February. There are now two different vaccines. It was so delightful hearing Biden talk about the difference between them, one based on RNA and the other by a different method. Trump would have been (was) flummoxed by the fact antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. "Injecting disinfectant into the lungs does a tremendous number on the lungs."

It will, as Ace notes, go to medical personnel and highest at risk groups--old folks homes--first. It will be March or April before the last groups--children--will be able to be vaccinated.

After that we will discover the mutation rate is rendering the vaccines ineffective. Deaths will continue climbing.

My apology for the delay. My internet was out and I had to scratch a few minutes each day from Macca's free wifi to make chess moves, no time for chat.

You asked

<Thanks all of you for your responses. My question is, " Putting aside politics, will you all take the cv vaccines when it is available by December next month ? ">

Like all of Real Life, that depends on the circumstances at the time. Questions arise, such as ..

1. Will it be ready in December? By that, I mean having jumped through all the hoops. It seems not. Perhaps March, by which time the situation will be different.

2. Will it be urgent? It probably will be the the USA, where politicians of all stripes have so thoroughly stuffed things up; but here in Australia we have gone for more than two weeks with less than five community cases. Most new cases are people already in quarantine. By March, we might well be in the clear. America can only dream of that happening.

3. What will be the side-effects? If there are side-effects, it might well be a sensible decision to NOT take it in an environment where there is no community transmission happening, and only take it if contemplating overseas travel.

So I try to make decisions based on INFORMATION AT THE TIME rather than 'in principle' decisions before the information is available, just to prove a political point Which is what you are trying to do with your loaded question; you start with saying 'putting politics aside', and ten ask me to answer based on political rather than medical information.

Some might say "How cunning Ace is!" I say, "How dishonest the pretext is!"

Are you serious? To use the same logic...

"Tell me, does your car have seat belts or airbags? It does? Good! So your response implies that having brakes are insufficient to stop your car before it runs into an obstruction. So we can do without the brakes."

Perhaps your don't believe in secondary defenses. Even us boring engineers try to adopt techniques such as 'fail-safe' design, in which a failure will cause loss of amenity or utility so it gets noticed and repaired, but not catastrophic collapse.

You keep coming up with these little shockers, Ace. At first I thought you were just trying to be ironic, perhaps trolling a bit. That might well be the case, but I'm starting to wonder if you're seriously deficient in terms of a comprehensive approach to safety. But either way, what you say is comparable to a cheeky child farting loudly during High Mass. We just don't need it.

Please participate constructively. I have no doubt you can do it, and provide balance rather than distraction as you do so.

G20 World leaders pledge to stop covid-19 by vaccination
youtu.be
en.wikipedia.org
G20 world leaders including Austrailia, US, UK, Germany, Russia, China etc. pledge to develop and distribute corona virus vaccine ASAP to all over the world to stop the spread of the cv pandemic. Poor countries are concerned that they might not get the vaccine in timely fashion. Russian Putin even offered to give free of charge to poor countries who cannot afford it.

World leading scientists have no negative feelings about the cv vaccines. Rather, they want to expedite the development and distribution of the vaccine so that we can live a normal lives again when most people are vaccinated.

Update on warp speed cv vaccine.
youtu.be
I am very sad for too much politicizing on Trump's warp speed vaccine by Democrats. That can result in more deaths for not receiving the vaccine in a timely fashion.

NY governor Cuomo is skeptical of the vaccine and so Trump said that he will not deliver the vaccine to NY unless he asks for it. We should keep politics aside and consider the well being of Americans IMHO.
lord_shiva
23-Nov-20, 19:24

Punishing NY
Trump won't permit vaccine delivery to New York until Cuomo agrees to personally pat Trump, and apologize on national TV for being a scumbag. He must also acknowledge that Trump is the most glorious president to ever rule, and that New York stole the election from him.

I think you are mistaken. What is your evidence that Cuomo is skeptical of the vaccine? Trump's comment on delivering vaccine to NY is much more likely due to the fact that Cuomo has been very critical of the president - not of the vaccine!
bobspringett
23-Nov-20, 22:29

Stal 20:44
I recall Cuomo being critical of 'a vaccine that might just happen to be announced a couple of days before the election' or something similar. He said that until a vaccine had been approved by the relevant authorities, it was no more than another Trump promise. In other words, he was sceptical of another 'vaccine' that might be no better than injecting bleach.

That's my general recollection but I stand to be corrected.
stalhandske
23-Nov-20, 22:36

Bob
Yes, I vaguely recall something similar. But isn't that entirely warranted? I.e. not to authorise a vaccine before it has been adequately tested? I don't think the Trump administration would do that; at least I haven't seen any evidence for it.
bobspringett
23-Nov-20, 23:18

Indeed Cuomo's attitude IS entirely warranted. But if Donald doesn't like what he said, that won't stop Trump from twisting it into a Crime Against Humanity.

Why do you expect a criticism made by Donald Trump to be reasonable?

Your: 23-Nov-20, 18:24: "Update on warp speed cv vaccine."


As Dr. Fauci more-or less stated during his first "Warp Speed" news conference invite in three months: "The rapid development of a Covid vaccine was NOT because of (trump's) warp speed --- it was made possible because of huge advancements in immunology science."

It's apparent that few heard the above early-on comment by Dr. Fauci, after he was finally allowed stand behind the podium, following Pence's repeated warnings that he needed to "stick to the script" during his discussion about covid-19 vaccine advancements.

----------------
Politicians have twisted tongue and mouth. Don't interpret straight forward what the politicians say. At times, you have to interpret differently and opposite. This is pure politics because Democrats don't want to give any credit to Trump for the development of warp speed vaccine.

Governor Cuomo said, " Before the vaccine is made available to NY, I have to make sure that it is safe and effective.
Joe Biden said: I have to make sure that the vaccines can be safely transported and distributed. The two vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna require -20C and -70C storage.

Almost all the problems have been solved by Trump's warp team and by the time, vaccines are available next year, Trump will no longer be in office. Even if Trump is in office, he cannot hold the vaccines for New Yorkers. I believe it is just a joke by Trump. Besides, Trump's real estate empire is mainly in NY. He is losing money, because people cannot pay rent for the apartments and his hotels are not fully occupied. If so, why Trump should do like that.

Please watch the above youtube. Hypocrite Cuomo is nervous now. He actually believes, vaccines will work but he does not want to give credit to Trump. He is threatening to sue Trump if he withholds the vaccines to NY.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened potential legal action on Sunday following comments by U.S. President Donald Trump this past week that he may withhold the state of New York from the distribution plan of a COVID-19 vaccine, saying he would enforce the legal rights of New Yorkers.

Cuomo went on to say Trump's plan was an "affront" to New Yorkers and he would not allow them to be "bullied or to be abused."

"New York state will mobilize an army to vaccinate all New Yorkers fairly, equitably. No state will do it better," he told a group of churchgoers Sunday.

Cuomo, who has been at odds with Trump during his tenure in the White House, said that he had tried to work with the administration and argue morality and principle the past four years, but "you're better off trying to argue with a rock." He added that COVID-19 was not the only virus attacking Americans, calling racism, sexism, discrimination and division viruses that were also attacking the country.

It amazing.

โ€œI believe it is just a joke by Trump.โ€

Every time trump says one of his stupid immoral comments, you excuse it as a joke, exaggeration or sone other excuse.

Question: How should the American people judge whether heโ€™s joking or not?

So, if you are right, there actually is no problem!

<Governor Cuomo said, " Before the vaccine is made available to NY, I have to make sure that it is safe and effective.
Joe Biden said: I have to make sure that the vaccines can be safely transported and distributed. The two vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna require -20C and -70C storage.>

Both these statements are completely acceptable, right? I would also make sure that is the case before accepting anything.

Your: "Almost all the problems have been solved by Trump's warp team"

1: Pence announced that there had been 60+ task force meetings in the past two weeks, so there was adequate time to develop a ship-shod Warp speed deployment plan for the up-coming vaccines.

Here are some take aways: The General in charge of FEMA presented a graph that that showed a "massive" Government stock-pile of 140,000,000. He also announced that his department was prepared to send matching kits (syringes, cotton and vaccine dilution fluids, etc) AFTER the vaccine developing Pharmaceutical companies shipped their vaccines to the interested states (that apparently excludes New York and a few other Democrat states), so t's apparent that those politically motivated, late in the game, 60 task force meetings weren't sufficient to develop a Government VACCINE transport procedure huh?

It seems apparent that prior to those 60 meetings: "Warp Speed" was little more than a trump squawk approach to make himself look smart and pretty while he doled-out a few more $Billion to his friends.
