    Trump did his best to IGNORE covid, and wish it away.

    Biden has taken COVID seriously from the start
    and has had to battle PRO-COVID Republican Governors and
    PRO-COVID media to try to combat the virus.

    The longer this virus is a problem, the better it is for Republicans, despite what happens to the country.

    How fucking un-American is that?

      So then, exactly which Biden covid policy has hurt people? Having your "rights" taken away from you isn't an issue, because those people have proven they don't care and would rather get covid.

      And everyone keeps talking about these illegals, but no one has shown any credible proof of this bussing or flying illegals with covid anywhere.

    As if you were making a point...

    Biden inherited the pandemic after 1000's of people were dying every day, so obviously the numbers will rise faster than under Trump. But hey, you obviously only want to make the point that you hate Biden, so in order to prove that point, you spin this series of numbers into bile!

    Now if Trump had only handled the pandemic better. Guess what he told Woodward was the truth while he lied his ass off to the American people. This is nothing like the flu. Unless you believe that half a million people died from the flu each year.

      Trump is telling us, the American people there is nothing to worry about COVID 19 and only about 15 people were infected and pretty soon it would be down to zero. While in private this is what he was telling Bob Woodward.

      “This is deadly stuff,” he told the investigative journalist.

      “You just breathe the air, and that’s how it’s passed,” the president warned.

    Stupid non-fucker you cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Trump had the opportunity to claim credit for the vaccine and get people to get vaccinated while he was still president. But he was too busy staging a coup and installing himself as dictator for life. So all he did was lie and down play COVID 19, cripple and corrupt the government's response to it. Not wear a mask. Become a one man super spreader when he caught COVID. And then he in Melania get vaccinated in secret. So no Traitor Trump cannot feed all those lies and misinformation to his followers and then suddenly do a 180 on vaccines.

    Trump's supporters booed and jeered when he revealed he got a booster shot and is pro-vaccination

    • Trump's supporters booed at an event Sunday when he announced he'd gotten the COVID-19 booster shot.
    • The audience cheered when Trump said he was opposed to vaccine mandates.
    • But the reaction changed when Trump and Bill O'Reilly said they were vaccinated and had boosters.



    Supporters of former President Donald Trump booed and jeered when he announced on Sunday that he had received a COVID-19 booster shot and was in favor of the vaccine.

    Trump made the comments during an appearance on the former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's "History Tour." Newsweek first reported on the remarks.

    At the event, Trump noted that the COVID-19 vaccine was developed under his administration as part of Operation Warp Speed. "Look, we did something that was historic, we saved tens of millions of lives worldwide when we, together, all of us, we got a vaccine done," Trump said.

    "This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now. Take credit for it," Trump said, adding later: "It's great. What we've done is historic. Don't let them take it away."

    The former president drew cheers from the crowd when he said that he was opposed to vaccine mandates, adding, "If you don't want to take it, you shouldn't be forced to take it. No mandates."

    But the crowd's reaction shifted when Trump and O'Reilly revealed they were both vaccinated and had gotten booster shots.



    According to Newsweek, after O'Reilly told the audience that he and Trump were vaccinated, he asked Trump if he received a booster shot, to which Trump replied, "Yes."

    "I got it, too," O'Reilly said.

    Newsweek reported that the crowd then started booing Trump and that he had to tamp down the audience's reaction which appeared to be coming from one side of the arena.

    "Don't, don't, don't," Trump said. "That's all right. It's a very tiny group up there."

    Trump's comments over the weekend came a few months after he told reporters that he would not be getting a booster shot.

    "I feel like I'm in good shape from that standpoint — I probably won't" get one, he told The Wall Street Journal in a September interview. Later he added, "I'm not against it, but it's probably not for me."

    Trump has repeatedly sent mixed messages about the COVID-19 vaccine to his base, a big chunk of which remains reluctant to get the shot.

    While the Biden administration has pushed Americans hard to get one of the three available COVID-19 vaccines — which have proved effective at significantly reducing the likelihood of hospitalization and death from the disease — Trump has said that while the shots are safe, Americans should not be required to get them.

    The former president first encouraged Americans to get vaccinated in March, months after the vaccine was first developed and after he left office. The New York Times reported that both Trump and former then-first lady Melania Trump privately received their vaccines in January, before he left office.

    Trump's approach to getting vaccinated stood in stark contrast to that of other public officials, including former Vice President Mike Pence, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, all of whom received their vaccinations on camera to build public trust.

    The former presidents also released an ad campaign in March urging Americans to get vaccinated. Trump was the only one who did not participate in the video.

      How do you respond to the report from Denmark (from a nurse giving vaccinations), that the vials were marked differently for politician's vaccinations versus those given to normal civilians?

      And what does that have to do with anything? Do you actually have proof that they were labeled differently here in the United states?

      Got to love a good conspiracy theory.

      I would ask you for proof about this Danish nurse, but I know you won't provide any.

    There is an issue with the COVID vaccine's efficacy, that is undeniable. The statistics here are derived from UK Public Health data. I guess though, that will not stop @username1 from claiming that it's all RT propaganda, thus allowing him to ignore it and sleep a little better at night.


    For every 10 people who have died with Covid-19 since August, 9 of them have been Fully Vaccinated according to the latest official Public Health data

    https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/16/omicron-deception-9-in-10-covid-deaths-since-august-vaccinated/

    The past few weeks have seen hysteria whipped up over the threat of the alleged new Omicron variant of Covid-19, with claims this variant may evade the Covid-19 vaccines, and that only a booster dose will save you. But if you have fallen hook, line and sinker for this new line from the authorities then we’re sorry to inform you that you are being deceived. Because official Public Health data shows that the vaccinated population have accounted for 6 in every 10 Covid-19 cases, 7 in every 10 hospitalisations, and 9 in every 10 deaths since August.

    Public Health Scotland publish a weekly ‘Covid-19 Statistical Report ‘ every Wednesday containing data on Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status over a four week period. The latest report was published December 15th and contained data on cases and hospitalisations between 13 Nov and 10 Dec, and data on deaths between 06 Nov and 03 Dec 21.

    The report showed that between 13 Nov and 10 Dec there were a total of 82,161 confirmed cases and 1,617 hospitalisations, whilst between 06 Nov and 03 Dec there were a total of 383 Covid-19 deaths. The report also confirmed that the vaccinated population accounted for 64% of those cases, 69% of hospitalisations, and 85% of those deaths.

    But this isn’t suddenly happening because of the emergency of the Omicron variant. The vast majority of Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths have been occurring among the fully vaccinated since at least August 2021.

    We’ve compiled the following analysis using official data contained within Public Health Scotland Covid-19 Statistical Reports from the latest release published December 8th, all the way back to the edition published August 18th, and they can all be found here (click on the required report and then scroll down to ‘Full Report’)........

    • Former President Donald Trump confronted a crowd of supporters over vaccine skepticism.

    • Trump told his fans to "take credit" for the vaccines instead of being against them.

    • "You're playing right into their hands," he said during his tour with Bill O'Reilly.
    Former President Donald Trump urged his supporters on Sunday to get a booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine to protect themselves against the Omicron variant, telling them they're "playing right into their hands" by doubting the vaccines.

    Sitting alongside former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly at a stadium in Dallas, Trump touted his administration's contribution towards developing the vaccines as part of Operation Warp Speed.

    "Look, we did something that was historic," he said. "We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We, together, all of us, not me."

    He went on to say that absent the vaccine, millions more people would have died of the virus. "I think this would have been the Spanish Flu of 1917, where up to 100 million people died," he said. "This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now."

    He then urged his supporters to "take credit" for the vaccine, warning them to not "let them take it away."

    "You're playing right into their hands when you sort of, like, 'oh, the vaccine,'" he said, referring to those of his supporters who have expressed hesitancy or opposition to the vaccine. "If you don't want to take it, you shouldn't be forced to take it. No mandates. But take credit, because we saved tens of millions of lives."

    Joe Biden is planning a new attack on Americans who refuse to take COVID vaccines. According to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Biden will deliver an address on his so-called “winter plan” to fight COVID-19 on Tuesday.

    Psaki says Biden will “issue a stark warning” to the unvaccinated while pushing for universal vaccination and booster shots. This comes as more than 120,000 Americans who were fully vaccinated have been hospitalized from COVID-19.

    Building off his Winter Plan, @POTUS will announce new steps the Administration is taking to help communities in need of assistance, while also issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for Americans that choose to remain unvaccinated.

    — Jen Psaki (@PressSec) December 18, 2021

    Observers say Biden’s push for vaccines is starting to hurt him politically.

    “We have companies here that have over a million people, even 10 percent of those people or 5 percent of those people quit over a vaccine mandate…talk about a supply chain issue,” stated Sarah Isgur, political commentator for Dispatch. “…Huge economic lags will have political implications for the Biden administration. Labor issue leads to supply issue leads to inflation.”

    Meanwhile, Psaki also says Biden is expecting the number of COVID cases to rise due to omicron variant despite doctors saying the new strain is very mild.

    Bullshit on your phony lying both sides. That is so fucking stupid and misdirection it must be addressed. There is only one side pushing false and misinformation about COVID 19. There is only one side that rejects science and pushes fake cures instead of just getting vaccinated and wearing masks. And that side is you treasonous conservative/Republican Trump cult followers. You do not get to try and misdirect from that.

    We had a shut-down to “flatten the curve” during Trump’s administration the point was to establish ways to lessen the rate of spreading and determine how best to slow down the virus.
    With-in days of announcing the 15 day shutdown Trump was trying to undermine it.

    That was one of the first travesties. We locked down. We sacrificed. And then Trump squandered that sacrifice screaming for states to open up again because he thought the economy would get him re-elected. And of course the red states obliged him and helped spread COVID coast to coast. That is how the virus got ahead of us and then Trump made sure to keep doing everything in his power to spread the virus just as fast and as far as he could.

    And there is no "both sides" bullshit involved in that. That was all Trump and treasonous conservative/Republicans.

    White House COVID 'fact sheet' features inconsistencies


    The White House released a "fact sheet" of accomplishments and future promises related to the coronavirus on Tuesday that contained inconsistent or misleading statements.

    "The president will take several steps to ensure states and health systems across the country have the personnel, beds and supplies they need as they battle rising omicron hospitalizations, mostly among the unvaccinated," the fact sheet said, outlining how the White House is deploying additional medical personnel, expanding hospital capacity and providing critical supplies.

    [​IMG]

    The critical supplies being provided include half a billion rapid tests that will be delivered to Americans for free. But the tests won’t be delivered until January, after the pre-Christmas omicron spike. And they are being announced two weeks after White House press secretary Jen Psaki scoffed at the idea of sending free tests to Americans who want them.

    "Should we just send one to every American?" Psaki asked a reporter sarcastically. "Then what, then what happens if you, if every American has one test?" she continued in an exasperated tone. "How much does that cost, and then what happens after that?"

    [​IMG]

    Biden was asked by a reporter during a Tuesday press conference whether it was a failure of his administration to not have more rapid tests available before now.

    "No, it's not a failure, but the alarms are going off," Biden said. "I don't think anyone anticipated how rapidly this is spreading."

    The fact sheet also celebrates that 73% of Americans are fully vaccinated, which the administration says is "up from less than 1% before the president took office," without pointing out that only frontline medical workers were able to take the vaccine when he took office in January 2021.

    The administration's touting of the vaccine rate compared to when Biden took office has been criticized by conservatives.

    "Less than 1% of Americans were fully vaccinated when Biden took office because the vaccine had only been approved for a month," National Republican Senatorial Committee Rapid Response Director Jonathan Turcotte tweeted Tuesday. "Most Americans weren’t even eligible yet."

    The Biden administration says it will mobilize 1,000 additional troops to deploy to hospitals burdened by the coronavirus and will also deploy federal medical personnel to states in need "immediately."

    Additionally, the administration announced new federal testing sites, the first of which will be stood up in New York City this week.

    The omicron variant of the coronavirus now accounts for nearly three-quarters of all new infections in the U.S., according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Estimates for the week ending Dec. 18 indicate that omicron is behind 73.2% of total new cases, compared to 26.6% for the delta variant, the data show.

    During the week before, only 12.6% of positive tests were a result of the omicron variant, as delta, at 87%, remained the most infectious variant in the U.S.

    President Donald Trump threatens Mexico/CNN screen shot
    One of the most notorious moments of the presidency of Donald J. Trump has to be that visit he made to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) on March 6th of 2020. COVID-19 hadn't even been named yet and the World Health Organization (WHO) hadn't yet designated it a pandemic but we all knew that something very bad was happening. Cases had shown up in Washington state and California. The whole country was riveted by the plight of a cruise ship sailing off the West Coast with sick people aboard and nowhere to moor. The president was reportedly angry about the whole thing and was resisting dealing with it but finally agreed to travel to the CDC's Atlanta headquarters for a photo-op to show his concern. It was one of the most astonishing presidential performances of all time:

    But perhaps the most memorable of all was this:

    You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump. I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, "How do you know so much about this?" Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President.
    Those exchanges illustrated the fundamental bind Trump was in from the beginning of the crisis. He wanted to "downplay" the virus, as he admitted to Bob Woodward around that time, but he also wanted to be the very stable genius who personally solved it. So he wavered back and forth throughout, some days saying the whole thing was just going away by itself and that his political enemies were talking it up to hurt his re-election chances. On other days he promoted snake oil cures, even offering advice to scientists on what they should be researching to treat the virus, apparently convinced that he had brilliant ideas that hadn't been explored:

    He grew impatient with the medical professionals who kept telling him bad news and instead turned to the quack remedies like Hydroxychloroquine which people like Fox News personality Laura Ingraham were promoting. He listened to quack doctors like Fox News radiologist Dr. Scott Atlas, who would tell him what he wanted to hear. As his COVID task force coordinator Dr Deborah Birx has testified before Congress, during the final months of his term, Trump completely lost interest in COVID altogether — at least until he came down with it himself.

    However, towards the end, the vaccines were coming on line and Trump very much wanted to be given credit for them. He claimed over and over again that everyone said it would take five years but he made sure they were done in record time and nobody could have achieved that but him. In his first press conference after the election he said this:

    The vaccines, and by the way, don't let Joe Biden take credit for the vaccines. If Joe Biden… Joe Biden failed with the swine flu, H1N1. Totally failed with the swine flu. Don't let him take credit for the vaccines because the vaccines were me and I pushed people harder than they've ever been pushed before. But the vaccines, there are those that says one of the greatest things. It's a medical miracle. Don't let anyone try and take credit for it.
    As you can see, he was desperate to be given credit, as if he had personally spent that previous few months cooking up the vaccines in the White House kitchen. After all, he had a genius uncle who taught at MIT and all the doctors were astounded by his "natural ability." As he put it, "the vaccines were me."

    We found out later that he and Melania Trump were among the first to be vaccinated while they were still in the White House, although they didn't announce it or do what all the other politicians were doing by having cameras present to record the moment as a way to reassure the public that they were safe. Nonetheless, over the following months, Trump would from time to time talk up the vaccines, mostly as a way to talk up his part in it, and while always emphasizing that people "have their freedoms." Last September, he even joined the freedom from sanity club himself saying that he probably wouldn't get the booster when they became available.

    His followers were not convinced.

    After all those months of Trump downplaying the virus, refusing to wear a mask and otherwise encouraging his voters to see the mitigation strategies as a Democratic plot to bring him down, they have continued to chase snake oil cures and refused to get vaccinated. They don't see the "medical miracle" of vaccines as a Trump triumph. They see it as a threat.

    This week, Trump told another audience that he had received the booster after all — and he got booed. He took the opportunity to once again try to make the case that he should get credit and that his supporters are "playing into [the Democrats'] hands" by booing him.

    "Take credit for it. What we've done is historic," Trump told an audience over the weekend. "If you don't want to take it you don't have to, you shouldn't be forced to take it, no mandates. But take credit because we saved tens of millions of lives, take credit, don't let them take that away from you."

    He meant, "don't let them take that away from me."

    Many people have seen those comments as Trump encouraging people to get vaccinated, but it really wasn't and I doubt any of his followers saw it that way. In fact, he made it clear that he doesn't care if they do it or not and that all that matters is that he is acknowledged as a big hero. In other words, his comment was really just more of his partisan politicization of the pandemic that's gotten us into this mess in the first place.

    And even if he did make an explicit pitch for people to get vaccinated, it's unlikely that it would make a difference. Polls show that the resistance to vaccines is now baked into the MAGA psyche, with him or without him. He may have created this problem but he has no power to fix it and I imagine that's intensely frustrating for him.

    Trump yearns to be worshiped as the great leader who single-handedly saved the world but his followers are all inexplicably offering themselves up as human sacrifices instead.

    Fact, Trump only had the vaccine for the last month he was president...

    Fact, more people have died in biden's first year as president than died Trump's last year as president dispite the vaccine being avalible the entire time senile joe has been president.

    Oh but this is just a drop in the overflowing bucket of biden's failures....

    Let's just take a look at skid row joe's job performance the first 6 months of his reigning terror...

    Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.

    Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden’s hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday.

    Biden’s Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come. Terrorists are emboldened far beyond the previous Democrat administration’s Islamic State disaster, which blew jihadi recruiting through the roof while President Barack Obama helplessly dithered, lectured stone-cold killers about being on “the wrong side of history,” and mumbled that it could take decades to do anything more than contain or “degrade” the ISIS caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

    Sad echoes of Obama’s “wrong side of history” rhetoric could be heard in the Biden administration advising the Taliban to “make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community.” Such thoughts do not appear to be keeping Taliban leadership awake at night.

    Jihadis are already celebrating American defeat in Afghanistan and the slaughter of U.S. troops under Joe Biden’s leadership. The Taliban now commands a nation-state that can harbor any terrorist groups it pleases, defend itself with billions of dollars in captured American weapons and military gear, and fend off future retaliatory actions with the great-power protection afforded by its business partners in China.

    Coronavirus: Biden campaigned on getting the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic under control, but it most certainly is not. Cases continue surging unexpectedly and unpredictably, in states where the media likes the governor as well as states where the media hates the governor.

    The vaccination drive devolved into an ugly political and cultural battle. Vaccinated Americans were stunned to find themselves subjected to coronavirus restrictions again, despite Biden’s promises that getting the jab was the key to getting normal life back. The unvaccinated grow increasingly furious as they are treated as second-class citizens.

    Poll-watchers will note that Biden’s failure to live up to his sales pitch on coronavirus control is alienating independent voters. The American people increasingly distrust the government, and every other source of authority, including each other – a lack of faith clearly exacerbated by the seemingly endless coronavirus state of emergency, “scientific” declarations made with absolute certainty in one month and abandoned the next, ridiculous levels of hypocrisy from political elites who violate their own draconian coronavirus rules, and constantly shifting goalposts for the return to normal.

    Eviction moratorium slapped down: One reason for growing public distrust is the accurate perception that opportunistic politicians are exploiting the endless pandemic for power and money grabs. One of the biggest was struck down by the Supreme Court on Friday, as it ruled 6-3 against the Biden administration’s moratorium on evictions from rental property. Joining the majority opinion was Joe Biden, who admitted at the outset that his order was probably unconstitutional.

    Biden managed to do a lot of damage to small landlords before the Supreme Court stepped in and reminded everyone that the Centers for Disease Control does not, in fact, have the legal authority to seize control of every rental property in America. Contrary to the Democrat caricature of landlords as top-hatted, mustache-twirling robber barons who can’t wait to throw widows and orphans out into the snow, many rental property owners are struggling middle-class folks who can’t make ends meet if their tenants stop paying rent. Others are hypocritical socialist Democrat politicians who don’t think anyone else should be able to make money by renting property.

    Gas prices: One of Biden’s first acts in office was killing the Keystone pipeline, wiping out thousands of American jobs and ensuring the U.S. would become more dependent on foreign oil. Seven months later, gas prices are spiking to seven-year highs ahead of Labor Day.

    The last time gas was this expensive, Democrat President Barack Obama told people to cross their fingers and hope engineers might someday invent cars that run on algae instead of petroleum. He also took to rambling about evil oil speculators lurking in the shadows. Biden tore a page from the Obama playbook in August and claimed “illegal activity” might be causing gas prices to soar.

    A week later, Biden was begging OPEC and Russia to pump more oil so gas prices would come down. His pleas were ignored by the cartels Biden had done so much to empower. Biden gave Russian President Vladimir Putin the priceless gift of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in May. Last week, he apparently changed his mind and started dishing out pipeline-related sanctions again.

    Inflation: America’s journey back to Carter-era malaise under Joe Biden continued on Friday with news that inflation is hitting 30-year highs. If food and energy prices are included – and most hard-working Americans would certainly include them – the Federal Reserve’s key inflation measure rose 4.2 percent year-over-year, far outstripping growth in personal income and reaching a level not seen since the beginning of 1991.

    Biden defenders who formerly insisted his inflation surge was merely a temporary hiccup are falling silent, as the Federal Reserve and industry analysts are warning that higher prices are here to stay, and people in the lower-income brackets will be hard-pressed to pay them. Even Biden’s loyal media, as well as his own pollsters, are nervously admitting that inflation can no longer be hidden from the American people – and the people are holding Joe Biden responsible for their plight.

    Border Crisis: Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan has diverted attention away from the disaster he created at the U.S. southern border, but the mess is still there even though Biden’s media refuses to cover it – complete with those “kids in cages” the Left suddenly decided it doesn’t care about anymore.

    The Biden administration has no intention of tightening security at the border, but it has dramatically intensified its efforts to find someone else to blame for the problem. It has also stepped up its efforts to replace the American electorate with imported voters who might be more supportive of endless government growth.

    The border mess is also a national security crisis. The resurgence of international terrorism after Biden’s bloody fiasco in Afghanistan, coupled with a pandemic that seems intent on burning through every letter in the Greek alphabet before it runs out of variants, seems like an exceptionally bad time to have a self-inflicted national security crisis. Knocking on wood and hoping no terrorists decide to stroll across the porous border is not a great security plan.

    The Huawei cave: Biden decided to cap off a heck of a summer by inexplicably approving huge sales of automotive computer chips to Huawei, a Chinese spy agency that likes to make a little extra money on the side by selling smartphones, computers, and cars. Flummoxed American automakers wondered why Biden would make sure Huawei has all the chips it needs while chip shortages force them to suspend production.

    The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) celebrated Biden’s cave on Huawei as an American surrender in the trade war, an act of submission to mighty China’s industrial dominance. Republican lawmakers on Thursday demanded to know who in the Biden administration decided selling a few hundred million dollars’ worth of scarce chips to a company involved in massive human rights abuses was a good idea.
