As someone who has extensively worked in the medical field and currently works in research I'm just going to set the facts straight.
On May 30, 2018, President Donald Trump signed S.204, the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act. Right to Try opens a new pathway for terminally ill patients who have exhausted their government-approved options and can’t get into a clinical trial to access treatments. Although 41 states have passed Right to Try laws, the signing of S.204 makes Right to Try the law of the land, creating a uniform system for terminal patients seeking access to investigational treatments.
this bill was one of the greatest healthcare successes in modern history. In layman's terms it gives choice back to the patient on what care they can receive. This movement, while massively good, has a downside, we don't know if the treatment will work. That was not the point however, as the right of the individual to seek care was tantamount.
I'll now say something controversial here because well the anti-Trump circle jerk is blatant on the topic. Operation Warpspeed was a massive success. This is due to a multitude of factors including the fact that we were operating on limited information and massive amounts of global disinformation because of China. Now for those who were too shortsighted to remember 2 years ago, you werent even allowed to posit the notion that the virus was lab-made without immediate unpersoning. Doctors as prominent as Peter McCullough were unpersoned for simply making a therapeutic treatment for Covid.
Heres the rub for you anti-Trumpers, you judge in hindsight that 1. trump was somehow a medical expert. 2. that the vaccines were always bad and trump somehow knew, and 3. that trump was somehow god and could shut down the globalist healthcare agencies.
Heres the reality:
- Operation Warpspeed was developed because we were told the world was ending. Trump was willing to fund a massive loss and hinge his career on an attempt to help Americans in what was sold as an apocalyptic crisis.
- The FDA, NIH, WHO, JAMA, NEJM and CDC provably and repeatedly lied to both Trump and the public including publishing fraudulent studies. Blaming Trump for this in hindsight is again asking him to be god.
- Trump granted the states rights to determine their own Covid policy, this was frankly the best possible option because again he is not god and was constrained by congress.
- The right to try movement is what led to the McCollough treatment (Joe Rogan's "Kitchen Sink").
- If Trump fired Fauci and Birx, he would have cut the head off the hydra while covering himself in the poisoned blood. Simply put, they had/have to much political clout with the left, and the immediate celebritization of Fauci was to make firing him a poison pill.
Is Trump perfect? No. Would any president have done better in that timeframe? who knows. Could it have been much, much worse? It did, I left hospital care because Biden taking over cemented the regression of medical progress in exchange for political profit. These hindsight attacks are frankly childish and those who keep pushing them should be held to the same standard as they hold Trump.
Dude, your account is new. For all we know, you're the leftist here just trying to troll and create a flamewar on the forum.
Why don't you go try Operation Warp Speed Apologia on patriots.win if you don't like the "circle jerk" here ?
This whole post and account reeks. It's so weird and out of place. I like kia2 because people here seem to have a rational approach to the idiocy we see going on. We aren't perfect but these lame but Trump good and everyone is just circle jerking post is so weird. It belong on old td when users upvoted anything about Trump.
I mean, I agree with you, but at the same time, KiA2 is often filled with weird kneejerk outrage parties like we laugh at the left for having. "Oh no, black people on LotR! RAGE!". Like who cares, if it's shit, don't watch it.
This new account is weird and reeks, but no more than TheImpossible1 or acp_kwin2 or wtv his name is or the myriad of "It's (((THEY)))" people.
I have a problem with the overarching erasure of white people and our culture. I don't understand how you can hand wave away the trend of white erasure and anti white racism. Even to the point of blackifying Tolkiens work.
Or it's just that I simply don't care enough about entertainment and I don't think it has the impact you think it does on wider society ?
Like were you so mad about Happy Gilmore erasing the proper etiquette of Golf ? No, it's just a lame movie. If it's bad, it'll flop and no one will remember it.
I don't even know anyone who watched "Hello white people" or wtv it was called on Netflix. Like I told someone else : KotakuInAction was started with the goal of laughing AT outrage culture. Not becoming a parallele outrage culture.
yes a flamewar for factually reiterating that no one had a clue what was going on when warpspeed started and you captain hindsight flamers are exactly that.
So now 2 years later is he still ignorant of what's going on or just pushing these vaccines to bolster his fading popularity? For Trump to go back on warp speed and the jabs now would be admitting it was a mistake and it was HIS mistake.
What people knew at the time is irrelevant. You want to assign success today. Today we know that Operation Warp Speed didn't deliver. Thus by any objective metric, it has not achieved success.
And the opposite of success is failure.
And I'm not saying you're starting a flamewar by denying reality like some Trans guy hoped up on hormones, I'm saying you're starting a flamewar because you're going around insulting everyone and calling them leftists for simply accepting reality : This ain't no vaccine, OWS failed.
prove this statement wrong then: The mRNA vaccine is the safest and highest efficacy coronavirus vaccine to date.
This is such a loaded statement.
First : "To date". You can't say "it's a success because it's the best we've gotten at this point!". The measure of success is if it's fit for purpose. Since it doesn't prevent infection, and at this point is shown to not even reduce severe outcomes like hospitalizations and deaths, it's just not a success.
Second : It's the first mRNA vaccine you dingus. Everyone gets a gold star when they're competing alone, no matter how bad they did. But even if this was your pee wee 100m dash, I think the vaccine would just get disqualified for not even making it to the finish line.
