Notice how it's still an unproven theory? NB and 3cat are taking it as gospel. Le sigh. Note: either way, Trump is still at fault for his handling of the covid-19 response in the US.
You do realize why people were upset with Trump when he was trotting out his bullshit about China? His bullshit gave fucking morons tactic approval to attack anyone who was Asian, including our own citizens who certainly didn't have anything to do with Covid-19. Asian-Americans are still dealing with that bullshit.

And amusingly pointing out the hypocrisy and arm-wrenching backpatting they're engaging in. So... will it be Trump's 'win' since Biden is doing everything from Trump's COVID planbook? Of course not, the media (kirinke) will conveniently forget that Biden told them he was following the plan as laid down by the previous administration and heap loving praise on Glorious Leader once he has been beaten back COVID to us only needing to have 200$ vaccines every 6 months...

Um... Biden hasn't heaped loving praise on the Former guy. They have used parts of the plan and the vaccines are free as will be the booster shots. www.cnbc.com/2021/05/11/us-official-says-covid-booster-shots-will-also-be-free-to-the-public-.htmlA nuanced approach: www.bloombergquint.com/politics/biden-covid-team-derides-trump-plan-while-borrowing-its-playbookA closer look at who really developed vaccines:
Differences in roll-outs:
So no, Trump doesn't deserve as much praise as you think. Other people developed the vaccines and they didn't use Warp speed at all in development. Had he won the presidency, he would have used the vaccines as a stick to keep states and cities he didn't like in line, instead of you know distributing them to everyone. He was already ramping up to that before he lost everything. I am personally not inclined to give Trump any praise for anything.
Acknowledgement that he did a bare few things right, yes. But not praise. He doesn't deserve any. You don't deserve praise for things that you've no part of and the few right things you did that you should do because you're president. The infinitesimally little good he's done has been overshadowed by all the bad he's done.
Seriously. Should you praise a mechanic for detailing your car after putting in your brakes wrong? Of course not. Why should I praise a failure of a president like Trump for doing a few things right on Covid-19, after all the things he did wrong on it?

He wasn't saying that Biden heaped praise on Trump. He was saying that the media would ignore what Trump did and heap praise on Biden. Regardless of what you(and the media) want to believe. Trump's mountain of money helped speed research along. He made other fuck-ups with Covid, but that wasn't one of them. Wow! Acknowledging that Trump did a few things right? For you that's halfway to Trump worship!

Touche. I read it wrong. Trump deserves no praise though.
Mmm. From what I read, research was already well on it's way with most of the vaccines. What the money did was help production. I do acknowledge he did that right. It still doesn't deserve praise.
Only because I try to be fair. It doesn't make me happy to do it at all. Fucker still put the brakes in wrong so to speak.

The research was well on the way, but it wasn't complete or that close to complete. The extra money Trump used sped up completion of the vaccines. Then Trump's CDC relaxed the restrictions on the clerical side of getting vaccines approved. There are several very lengthy steps that had to be done sequentially. The relaxed restrictions allowed all those steps to be completed simultaneously, allowing approval FAR sooner.

Ah. A bit more nuanced explanation. I didn't realize that part.

At least I admit it 3cat. You still don't admit that masks are effective at blocking viruses that transmit through aerosols. When people talk to me rationally, with researchable cites instead of stomping their feet, mis-representing facts and throwing a tantrum if I don't agree with them, I eventually at least see their point even if I don't agree. Hell, Maxperson and I don't agree on lots of shit, but we do agree on some things and we're both on opposite ends of the spectrum politically. Your and NB's approach to debates is to treat the other person as the enemy if they don't agree.

In comparison to 3cat, you're center right, but that's not saying much. IMO.
In any case, we still disagree on lots of shit. But because you act like a rational adult about it and I return the favor, we can at least see each other's points, even if we don't agree on them.

Look at how I deal with cyph, Eldorian, and any other hardcore liberal/leftists when we debate. Or when I have serious go at some very conservative position 3cat has staked out that I disagree with. Then contrast with how I treat you and Kzach.

Whatever makes you sleep well at night NB. No matter how you define it, it's still shit. Look at how I treat you and 3cat in return. You treat me like shit, I'll sling crap right back at you and set it on fire when I do. Happily. Do you honestly think that the crap I pull is just because? It's in response to the shit you pull on me. If you notice, when I'm involved in a rational discussion, I leave most of the usual nonsense at the door.
I give back what you do to me. I always have. So if you treat me like shit I return the favor. Eventually, maybe you'll realize it's a zero-sum game and that you're losing the fight and the war. Until then, I have a brown paper bag filled with dog-shit ready to light on fire just for you.

Except you're never rational in a discussion. I'll reiterate - you are incapable of thinking for yourself. When everyone else disagrees, we debate with fact and with well-thought-out positions. When we disagree, it's with the understanding that the other person's points are based in rational thought. You, on the other hand, worship at the altar of leftist media propaganda, even when everyone else points out the fallacies in your arguments.

3cat, Einstein would be irrational to you. You fucking believe the virus was let loose due to a fucking trade war.
