. @BandyXLee1 I’ve been wondering for months now if we need to start thinking of Trump as a psychopath. The plan, to have no Covid plan. The almost zero masks or distancing at his RNC speech. But this announcement of a vaccine being available in October is something again.
Almost every vaccine researcher I’ve listened to in the last 6 months has suggested that May 2021 is a likely point for finalising any vaccine trials; and this is before the production of a vaccine can be made available to anyone. @IrwinRedlenerMD @PeterHotez @Laurie_Garrett
It’s inexplicable, to me, but here’s my attempt at Trump logic. He has opportunistically refused to mitigate a pandemic, and has used it to enable a political means of re-election: to be a last minute panacea saviour.
Yes, that’s some fucking dark logic. But how else should anyone determine an action of deliberate inactivity, followed by a premature rush to deliver a premature vaccine with unknown side-effects? @VinGuptaMD @duty2warn
The truly sardonic and sadistic irony? Trump will tweet, ‘My vaccine is now available. We’re going to have the greatest economy ever, again.” And then we’ll all be asked to reconcile the death toll of the vaccine being less than the deaths from Covid.
Those who refused this premature vaccination will be pilloried for not having it if they die, and those who take it and die will be ‘anomalies’, and everyone else should be more grateful that the Emperor has bestowed his beneficence upon us. ‘With God’s help’ (Mike Pence).
In short. Should we clinically consider the president of the dis-united states he created, a psychopath? If the loss of human life or human suffering are annoyances to him; a means to exploit for the retention of power, whether they die or not? What is he? @Nick_Carmody
In this last 24 hours, consider his stated belief that those who are killed in war, or captured, are ‘Losers’. These aren’t independent statements, but a pattern. They are contiguous examples of pejoratively determining lesser human worth. @GenMhayden @mccaffreyr3 @stavridisj
