Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[zorkuus]

How can Rudy have time. He's still trying to get together for release all the "amazing things he's finding" on Obama's birth certificate and Hunter Biden stuff in Ukraine.

They're going to get released any day now. Just in time for the election.

Ugh, I know, I have some coworkers with friends on the inside and the hospitals are almost all full.

Yeah, this is what I heard from my wife as well. She told me last night after work that their ICU is full. Her unit gets critically ill/injured people who might go to ICU or have come from ICU who are more stable but still need to recover, something like that. Indiana, as of yesterday, had like 30% icu bed availability, but given the location of the hospital, it’s not surprising that her hospital is at capacity.

Can't wait for January 20th. The day delusional Trump supporters will be forcefully ripped back into reality, and America can finally start real work on turning this crisis around.

We had the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, and hopefully, next year we can have a war on misinformation. Fake news and gossip has done so much damage to this world over the last decade it is hard to believe. The president has weaponized purple-monkey-dishwasher.
We need a law that forces Fox news and conservative talk radio to label themseleves 'For entertainment purposes only.' It was slapped on to those astrology commercials for the same reason.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's not going to happen.

Wouldn't count on it. They will just declare Mar a lago the new Executive Mansion, and keep worshiping "The true president".

Fixed.

The delusion is deeper than you think, they honestly STILL think Trump is winning and will be the next president one way or another.

135,574 new cases; about 41k more than last Tuesday.

Nebraska continues to vex me by not reporting on time and Missouri's been doing the same a lot lately.

Realistically, those two states will ultimately add another 7k or so onto today's already-ridiculous total.

Yep, ugh, called it. Late-night corrections have brought yesterday's total to 142,214 new cases, which is 6,640 more than when @Benggaul originally posted the total.

That means that yesterday was actually 47.5k more than last Tuesday. Also...

1,345 deaths is over 150 more than last Tuesday

...has been updated to 1,465 deaths, which is 275 more than last Tuesday. There were only three days that marked a higher tally than that back in the summer spike of late July / early August. Before that, you'd have to go back to May to find a higher day's total.

...I can't even begin to tell you just how "tired of winning" I am right now.

Thanks for this. The official cutoff time is supposed to be around 2-3am my time at which point all reports should be in for the day, but a handful of states have been missing that deadline more and more often in recent weeks. Since I'm back to work in some capacity I actually have to worry about getting some sleep in between so I don't get to stay up for the late corrections/additions.

...you have no idea how drug development works do you?

Feel free to ask me as I do.

- - - Updated - - -

Not how that works. Again if you are confused on how clinical trials work please ask. Happy to educate.

Operation Warp Speed has indeed allowed the clinical trials to proceed more quickly...that's what the experts say anyway. You need to set them straight and "educate" them as well it seems.

Testimony on Operation Warp Speed: Researching, Manufacturing, & Distributing a Safe & Effective Coronavirus Vaccine

To accelerate development while maintaining standards for safety and efficacy, OWSha s been selecting the most promising countermeasure candidates and providing coordinated government support. Protocols for the demonstration of safety and efficacy are being aligned, which will allow the trials to proceed more quickly, and the protocols for the trials will be overseen by the federal government, as opposed to traditional public-private partnerships, in which pharmaceutical companies decide on their own protocols. Rather than eliminating steps from traditional development timelines, steps will proceed simultaneously, such as starting manufacturing of the vaccine at industrial scale well before the demonstration of vaccine efficacy and safety, as happens normally. This increases the financial risk, but not the product risk.

NIH, in collaboration with the Foundation for the NIH, recently launched an innovative public-private partnership to speed the development of COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines. The ACTIV public-private partnership brings together stakeholders from across the U.S. government, industry, and the European Medicines Agency to develop an international strategy for a coordinated research response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other federal partners include BARDA, DoD, the Department of Veterans Affairs, CDC, and FDA. The ACTIV working groups are making rapid progress. For example, the Therapeutics Clinical Working Group developed and openly shared master protocols with agreed upon endpoints, sampling, and analysis for evaluating monoclonal antibody and vaccine candidates, in order to enhance trial efficiency.

What part of "Pfizer is not part of that program" do you not understand?

[DocSavageFan]

What part of "Pfizer is not part of that program" do you not understand?

Oh really? What was that $1.95B deal with Pfizer all about then if it wasn't part of Operation Warp Speed?

https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/expl...eed/index.html

https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2020/...9-vaccine.html

The facts are crystal clear...Pfizer is indeed part of the OWS strategy. Why is this so difficult for you to accept?

Because you're talking about something different.

The 1.95B is for manufacturing and distribution not development. It's black and white in your own sources.

I know you're the king of self-owns, but you keep topping yourself with the amount of clownery you provide.

The $1.95B is for the vaccine after it's ready -

HHS announced up to $1.95 billion in funds to Pfizer for the large-scale manufacturing and nationwide distribution of 100 million doses of their vaccine candidate. The federal government will own the 100 million doses of vaccine

They're earmarking that money to buy and distribute the vaccine after it's been developed.

Because as your second link clearly shows -

Pfizer is collaborating with BioNTech, a German biotechnology company, to develop COVID-19 investigational vaccines without U.S. government financial support. Phase 1/2 clinical trials are underway for the investigational vaccines in the United States and Germany.

They're not a part of it. They even say they're not a part of it.

Others, however, pointed to the fact that Pfizer's senior vice president and head of vaccine research and development, Kathrin Jansen, publicly distanced the company from the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed vaccine initiative. Jansen was quoted Monday by The New York Times as saying, "We were never part of the Warp Speed. We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone."

You know the best part... You are admitting that Trump should have contributed fund to development of the vaccine. Your argument that money Pfizer hasn’t even received helped development, just exposes Trump failure to assist with development.

Did you go to clown school or does this just come natural to you? Jesus fucking Christ.

The length people go to, to give credit to Trump, for a vaccine developed by people he claims are democrat agents pushing a hoax, is amazing.

Those are ALL parts of the OWS strategy. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Anyway, the HSS fact sheet page that I linked previously linked has the Pfizer deal listed under the Development section. Why would that be? Maybe because $1.95B is an incredibly compelling incentive to speed development? Hmmmm.

What color is the sky in your alternate reality?

[Benggaul]

"DocSavageFan" is an anagram of "Face Gonads A.V.". How is this relevant? Hell if I know, but it's probably about as worthy of discussion as the nonsense they're bringing up judging from the quotes I'm seeing.

Jesus, this is, "TRUMP DIDN'T LOSE THE ELECITON OR POPULAR VOTE" levels of delusion and/or dishonesty. It's been repeatedly pointed out to you that Pfizer has received no money and is not a part of OWS. It's been pointed out that they will be a part of OWS once the vaccine is ready and the US government spends that $1.95B on buying and distributing the vaccine, which has not happened yet.

And throwing money at a vaccine doesn't speed up trials, my dude. Those simply take time. This is pure fantasy on your part. 100% fantasy, and bad fantasy at that.

What sort of incentive do drug companies need, to provide a vaccine to a disease, that just hit 1 million people in Texas alone?

How about this... I’m preordering one million dollars of a unique vaccine from you. Let me know how much this helps you...

Also, a cure to a pandemic, does not need additional financial incentive. The consumer base is built into the word... pandemic...
