Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Methais]

I think about it, and the world really did get lucky that Trump was in office. Can you imagine a normal politician in the Presidency when the virus struck?

All the "experts" and talking heads on TV were saying it would take 3, 5, 7 years to come up with a vaccine. Could you imagine us all having to live under their insane rule while covid did it's thing. It would have been a fucking nightmare.

Love him or hate him, we're lucky he was the one telling government to get the fuck out of the way to speed up the research.

I still hate the idea of vaccinating kids (data doesn't support doing it), but vaccinating anyone 18+ (if they want to) and especially 50+ (they should) has been a final gift that he afforded the world.



Edit:

This is what the "experts" and talking heads thought back then: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/healt...-bn/index.html - Seems they were wrong and he was right. In September. Seems like he knew something those "experts" didn't. Imagine a normal politician had been in office... /shiver.

Plot twist: If a democrat was in office, COVID wouldn't have been treated as any bigger of a deal than Swine Flu or Ebola or any other fairly recent outbreak in the media.
