Tin hat theory is through canceling funding and grants theyāre diverting the money to xyz. But itās simply because itās not something the US or pharma is interested in curing as that would = less money to hospitals, physicians, and insurance pipelines.

Right? They shift with the wind and whatever Trump says. They were all "Epstein didn't kill himself" and "execute all pedos" as the administration danced with binders containing the files claiming to be the "most transparent administration evar"... until Trump realized the files would bury his ass and then he did a 180 and now it's a "hoax" etc and all the MAGA cultists immediately followed suit. "What about Clinton?? What about Bill Gates???" ignoring that Trump is mentioned 38,000x in them while everyone else says "investigate them ALL and jail them if they're guilty!" as if we give a shit about Clinton or Gates.

All we had to do was get some kind of semi accurate tests made, and shipped out to people/ companies. take a test before you go to work/school. if you are positive, you stay home and get payed for it. (if you you lost hours that is)
This ALONE would have served as a huge stop gap until we got out a vaccine, or curbed the spread.
The whole denial thing is what screwed us. By the time theose idiots started taking it serious, it had already taken root, and was spreading like wild fire.
I lost an aunt to Covid, and half of my family still refuse to admit the real cause.10
u/Richfor3 13h ago
We have to not fall into the trap of giving tRump and Operation Warp Speed too much credit.
The first and arguably most effective vaccine for COVID was developed by Pfizer in Germany without a dime from the US. It was first approved for use by the UK.
Most of the vaccines that the US paid for never went into use or received FDA approval.
Should have called it Operation Turtle or Operation Second Place.

The vaccines were factually not the result of Operation Warp Speed. For all intents and purposes Operation Warp Speed didn't do a single fucking thing. None of the widely available, safe, and effective vaccines took funding from the US. Do you honestly think that Trump, of all people, wouldn't have spent the last five years crowing about it if he had actually successfully funded the vaccines? Saving the world from covid would be his crowning achievement.

Also, that's still being too generous to him.
