10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Your memory is faulty. In summer and fall 2020, Trump was indicating to staff he may try to force the FDA to approve a vaccine without completing the required tests, just so he could claim that vaccines were out before the election. That would have been catastrophic and stretched the pandemic out for years. Biden and Harris said clearly and publicly on TV that they do not trust Trump and would only trust vaccines approved by scientists. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both completed phase 3 trials and got FDA authorization in December 2020, and both Biden and Trump got vaccines to show that it was safe.
Vaxxie is not the insult you think it is.
Oh of course not. How many boosters have you had?
I've had every recommended booster. Obviously I'm dead, but magnetic and my wifi signal has never been better.
Or maybe I'm just fine because vaccines have been a good fucking idea since Edward Jenner came up with them over 200 years ago.
Christ, imagine people being this untrusting of all the science and technology they use that has only been in existence for a few decades. You have no trouble using a device invented by 'big technology' to complain about things on a network invented by 'big government.' And all of that is much, much newer than vaccination.
Accusing people of taking boosters is not the insult you think it is.
gish gallop out the door
Quote sources if you claim stuff like this.
