Allowing these vaccines to go forward is the one thing that I hate about Trump, despite the fact that he has been the best president we've had in decades. He even knew HCQ worked against covid.. not sure why he allowed it to be suppressed instead of fighting to keep it available.
I don't fault Trump for not changing horses mid-crisis
A pandemic is in some ways a very unintuitive and alien sort of disaster. The sort of thing that actually IS best left to experts... when they're worthy of that trust.
The real problem here was that Fauci has been in his seat since 1984. He should have been nudged out the door in the early 00's.
He also bungled the last epidemic he was supposed to deal with, AIDS. For much the same reasons, proper response is politically untenable.
You are not allowed to shut down all travel from China. You are not allowed to tell the gays to keep it in their pants so they don't practically genocide themselves
They will likely blame their favorite Orange Man for rushed approval when they finally admit that these COVID vaccines DO have some serious problems.
