Because of the Trump failures, it's going to be nearly impossible to change the trajectory of the virus within the next couple of months. Biden is correct. However, the long-term trajectory of the virus is likely to change radically since there's competent leadership in the White House now.

Well, if you are chasing the "thing" than the "thing" is always going to be ahead of you. That's like the Obama approach.
I'm not even sure what your point is here.

The trajectory was going to change regardless as vaccination rates have been ramping up every day. With that said, the current administration does need to intensify the effort, and vaccine disinfo isn't helping, so let's focus on that for the time being.

My point was that the current trajectory, when you take into account all of the variables (the current poor vaccination rates, Trump's virus denial and anti-mask rhetoric during the first half of the pandemic, and many many more Trump failings), is unlikely to be affected in the short-term by anything done between now and the next couple of months. The only things we can do is act as quick as possible to mitigate infections and deaths in the long term.

We'll discuss this over spaghetti and a glass of merlot, then we can discuss club memberships. No point in making this circular. :ha:

Yeah blah blah horseshit. Trump's Operation Warp Speed brought us from 0mph to approved vaccine distribution in 10 months, and Biden takes credit for the effects.

Gotta go put gas in my car now. Price is going up if you haven't noticed.

To be fair, you had your chance to buy oil stocks when the price per barrel went into the negative. You'd be a considerably richer man now if you did, wink wink. :P

You should check out my recent posts about how there was no Trump vaccine distribution plan, and the vaccine distribution in this country was as much a logistical failure as it was a moral failure.

@Lacius

All I remember was old people and necessary personnel first. All of that relied on the accessibility of a vaccine to begin with. Maybe you could change your words into links?.

Just about everything I've said about the Trump administration's vaccine rollout failures have been supported with links. I suggest you look back at my recent posts today.

Another funny. He has this posted in the "Community" section of his channel. Yet again, he continually deletes any/all comments he doesn't like or agree with. Lmao. I'll say this for the 1,000th time. Deplorables/Patriots/Trumpers (whatever one wishes to call them) are THE single largest group of compulsive hypocrites on the face of the planet.

Oh yeah, another video of his he's blabbering about "I got a 30 day suspension on Facebook.... for telling the truth!!!!" :rofl:

I've stopped taking the bait now. I can't be bothered with these "people" anymore.

Not really the point. The point is that Biden ran on a "Trump doesn't have a plan and I do, it's ready to go from Day 1 when I'm elected" platform. That's obviously not the case - he's continuing with what was already in place, it's not a brand-new plan, it's the same plan. In terms of COVID response, due to the way the U.S. government works, a lot of the blame is on individual state governments, not the federal government which really doesn't have a lot to say on these matters, at least not until the situation reaches full-blown existential threat, national emergency level.
the main reason why shit isn't getting done is because of those sore loser gop senateors are holding up cabnet confimation hearings as i recall only 2 members were appointed mind you investigations into some of the GOP needs to beunless trump pardoned them already which will add more fuel to the fire for trumps post presidency impeachment for jan 6th barring him for life for holding any federal office

There's an on-going debate whether he can even be tried after leaving office - the Constitution is vague in this regard since impeachment was designed as a method of removing a sitting president from office. Even if they decide to vote and the SC doesn't stop the trial in its tracks, a 2/3 majority is still required to convict, which they're unlikely to reach. I would prepare for disappointment in case you're counting on your weird revenge fantasy coming true, there's a couple of obstacles in the way. We'll see what happens after the hearings.

and lets denunk anonymously sourced fake news articles from cnn shall we?

Fauci: We are not 'starting from scratch' on vaccine distribution

https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...starting-from-scratch-on-vaccine-distribution
Like them or not, reputable news sources like CNN generally don't report news unless the sources are reputable. They know who the sources are and are protecting their anonymity. The reporting is likely correct.

I've also already responded to what Fauci said. Technically having a vaccine distribution plan doesn't mean the Trump administration effectively had a vaccine distribution plan. I have also listed all of the failures of the Trump administration when it comes to vaccine distribution.

Go ahead and denunk. Rather than being wrong, it's more likely the anonymous report is hyperbole and fauci is being political.

So there probably was a plan, but a shit plan that was not fit for purpose. Like Trump was a shit president, not fit for purpose.

They aren't starting from scratch because Trump did order some vaccine, but strangely he turned down ordering more.

and vaccine disinfo isn't helping, so let's focus on that for the time being.

Getting Trump out of office and off Twitter & Facebook will already have had an effect on removing disinformation.
