    I guess this was part of the "well Biden will probably win, so let's kill as many people as we can" play.

    I can't wait to see THE POLITICO and the sunday shows analyze ramifications of this bold strategy - will it work?

    Trump got posterized by the American people about a month ago

    Trump lost the election, so a lot of the useless trolls dipped...their posting frequency went way down immediately after it became clear Trump got bodied by Biden

    wattaloser, bigotexxx, trader hoeje, generalhate, and the rest of the filth gave up the trolling once their deity lost

    Trump said we are rounding the corner on Covid again today to a crowd. He should be removed from office right now. He is blatantly lying to Americans.

    They will be back as soon as they can start to complain about the Biden administration.

    Like almost all of trump's executive orders, this one is BS, unenforceable and just to make trump look like he is doing something...

    That’s expected. In other news, NYT is saying why for the EO: converting Trump admin lack of American First policy.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/us/politics/trump-pfizer-coronavirus-vaccine.html


    Before Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine was proved highly successful in clinical trials last month, the company offered the Trump administration the chance to lock in supplies beyond the 100 million doses the pharmaceutical maker agreed to sell the government as part of a $1.95 billion deal over the summer.

    But the administration, according to people familiar with the talks, never made the deal, a choice that now raises questions about whether the United States allowed other countries to take its place in line.

    ...And while Pfizer is now negotiating with the administration to provide more of its vaccine, people familiar with the talks say the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to deliver more than the initial 100 million doses — enough to inoculate 50 million people since its vaccine requires two shots — before perhaps next June.

    After it signed its federal contract in late July, Pfizer went on to seal deals with other governments, including the European Union, which last month finalized an agreement to acquire 200 million doses from Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech. On Tuesday, Britain will begin inoculating its population with the vaccine.

    ...


    On Tuesday, Mr. Trump is holding a White House event to promote the program’s role and plans to issue an executive order that applies his “America First” philosophy to the pandemic by proclaiming that other nations will not get the U.S. supplies of its vaccine until Americans have been inoculated.

    The executive order by itself appears to have no real teeth and does not expand the U.S. supply of doses, according to a description of the order on Monday by senior administration officials. But it provides Mr. Trump with a talking point to rebut any criticism about the limited initial supply of the vaccine.

    Well, I guess the elderly in Texas will stay at high risk of Covid for months as this pandemic explodes. Those 1.2 million doses for Texas will not be given to any of them. According to a 2018 report we had 1,796,338 Texans 70 or older and 842,046 age 80 or older. Sad, and scary.

    Not sure what Trump is talking about. Current number of cases is about 15,000,000 which is about 4% of the population.

    btw, the number of Americans that died from COVID-19 is fast approaching 300,000, while the total deaths in Germany is 20,000. Yesterday, just under 3,000 Americans died. Yea... so much for that argument...

    I agree but keep in mind that Germany has less overall population, so their recent numbers are comparable to ours. Germans must be taking the que from our blonde leader and his penchant for Christmas parties during pandemic. Only they forget that taking remdesivir is not an option for them unlike for Trump and his ghouls

    I was talking about recent numbers. You stated it was 600 (Germany) vs 3K (USA). 600 adjusted for population would be 2,400. Anyway, Germany is slipping right now.
