    Having a vaccine, and getting it sufficiently wide deployed under a known antivaxxer “health” minister are two different kinds of shoes.

    And: The virus is currently trying to overcome species barriers, which might reduce an existing vaccine less useful. AFAIK you need a different vaccine for poultry than for cows, and some infections have made it across to humans, also AFAIK, from cows.

      Not to mention that the asshole in the WH would absolutely weaponize this against blue states and would try to enrich HIMSELF in the process. We know, because that’s what he did during Covid. That’s just how fucking depraved he is.

      They initially thought that Covid was killing more of the Blahs…and they of course loved that idea.

      If only we had some technology that could replicate the mRna or DNA as things changed to get an updated vaccine out quicker.

      Too bad that didn’t work out, killed billions of people, and is now being banned for how awful it was.

        I’m out of the loop, what was banned?
