I don't know why this isn't obvious to everyone. I think hopium is an American disease. The two-party system tribalistic brainwashing syndrome.

Trump just bragged about the SUCCESS of Operation Warp Speed again this month and we get crickets from his supporters. That's some "MAHA" he's demonstrating, eh?

I posted a video of him bragging about it on a conservative-leaning substack in the comments - at least this time I was ignored rather than attacked. That might be progress.

Trump’s close ties to Pharma? He appointed RFK,jr Sec/HHS, which I doubt Pharma finds comforting. And RFK just hammered the ongoing mRNA work, which doesn’t seem like an endorsement of the vaccines. I don’t think either man are friends of Pharma.

I don't think that the ongoing mRNA work was hammered. What RFK Jr did was stop the federal funding of such work. He stopped the government money going to the programs, but the programs have absolute carte blanche to continue all avenues of "research" and "distribution" with private investor's funding. The harm has not been undone, but wildly amplified, in my humble opinion, unfortunately.

Zeroing out $500M of funding is quite the hammer. It doesn’t seem like there is very much private money going into these efforts. There is no law against funding private research or against the development of the mRNA platform.

That's my point. There is no law against the mRNA platform, and there should be, at a bare minimum, super strict restrictions or guidelines on such a devastating technology. And I mean devastating on the recipient's immune system behalf. I am witness to that very fact every single day in my immediate rural entourage.

You need to take that up with Congress. That’s where they make laws.

Indeed. That's why it's never going to get done. It gets diluted along the way by too many divergent opinions on the subject, not to mention all the paid and bought said opinions as well. Never going to get done, even if you petition Congress until you're blue in the face.

I could support a policy where each vaccine product is tested for heavy metal and other toxins and if no one can show why such poisons are added then every stock owner and owners of VC BlackRock and others to be rounded up with all the older adults in bloodline and fenced into a field like the surrendered WWII Germans after war and mass murdered .. yes, a field like that and it napalmed on live TV with a simple message - hurry up and repent before we grab you and your bloodline.

Simple solutions that they are planning to do to use and loved. As long as they breathing they are a threat and Just to protect us others. They safely in graves.

Trump doesn’t like to admit failure. I don’t think he was wrong to have an emergency effort to develop a vaccine against a new disease. The problem is that he got duped by people overhyping the deadliness of COVID and the safety of mRNA vaccines. That’s what he's reluctant to admit. It’s a demerit, but not a crucial one compared to all the good things he’s doing.

LMAO, so I am supposed to be impressed by someone who 1) can't admit failure, but instead triples down on it; 2) got duped by people who couldn't even come close to duping ME, 3) Covid19 was THE BIGGEST psyop/attack on the western world in my lifetime, but you don't think it's important? And Trump failed. BIGLY.

About Operation Warp Speed, I recommend this excellent article by Erik Carlson. https://open.substack.com/pub/badlands/p/a-virus-or-a-metaphor?r=bnzwn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
