i seem to recall the herculean effort donald trump made to get a covid vaccine devoloped, tested and distributed as quickly as possible while he was
still in office. not only did he champion the vaccine (along with receiving the initial jab and booster shots) but so did ron desantis. the initial
rollout started in decemeber of 2020 just prior to joe biden taking office. back then the big republican complaint was that president trump was not
getting enough of the credit for getting the vaccine completed in record time and that biden was undeservedly getting that credit instead. fast
forward and somehow the covid vaccine is the now monstrous overreach of big government? nothing ever truly goes away on the internet and looking back
at the mistakes in responses by social media or government agencies to what was then a very serious and deadly virus without an effective treatment
nor a cure, given the added benefit of hindsight, seems like some low-hanging fruit to get morally outraged over. i worked on an ambulance and nobody
i worked with remembered what we did during the last global pandemic in 1920. with too many people being desktop experts without formal education,
experience or training, it is completey disingenous to catergorize as somehow nefarious the actions people took out of an abundance of caution to
protect the lives and health of more than 300 million americans and billions more globally. ask the boomer generation about the polio vaccination or
the small pox vaccine. you don't know what you don't know and while doctors and scientists around the globe didn't know much in the beginning, they
sure knew more than nance mace ever knew about immunology.
fun fact, the "doctor" that claimed to have discovered a link between vaccines and autism was a midwestern US congressman who started an entire
movement of people who actually believed him although he couldn't actually back up his claim with any clinical research findings, whose report was
rejected by the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association and ultimately lost his medical license for making spurious claims
detrimental to the actual health of living people.
