This was a goddamn fucking moonshot, and it was achieved. An amazing feat of human ingenuity.
And every fucking ape on this planet, if they even want to admit Covid was a real thing, and not “just the flu”, would rather turn to shit like horse dewormer.
And now we are stuck with these gorillas running the government. FFS.
This was a goddamn fucking moonshot, and it was achieved. An amazing feat of human ingenuity.
This is where I remind you that we have not been back to the Moon since 1972.
Nothing in this world outpaces America’s capitalist regressiveness.
If Moderna can figure out how to use mRNA to give you Mar-a-Lago face, mRNA will suddenly be in good graces again.
Moderna also has a vaccine production facility in Canada. So maybe a family vacation north might be a good idea this year.
Never thought I’d be on the side of big-pharma…
I’ll always support all vaccines. They’re preventive medicine that reduces healthcare utilization in the long term
Assuming they’re proven safe and effective, sure. Don’t blindly assume, though. Beyond the obvious politicization, one reason why the approval hasn’t gone through is likely due to the gutting of the FDA. Sigh …
Yep, and you’d think the conspiracy theorists would see that a cheap or free vaccine is exactly counter to all of their theories about people being kept sick so they can pay for ongoing prescriptions.
Did they
pay the bribedonate some millions to trump’s golden ballroom?Nowadays it’s a cheap and almost mandatory investment to
bribe an officialdonate to the presidential library in order to get preferential treatment.@floofloof @gwaldby
Remember when the right were losing their minds about Socialism doing things like telling private businesses whaat they could and couldn’t do?
Open the windows and look around folks! All those boogeyman scare tactics were horseshit and are now being forced upon you by the Fascists who sold you that crap!!..Welp.
This is Trump’s 4d chess. If we take the power away from these orgs when drugs will get cheaper!
…right?..right?
FDA will cave. In a war between the current administration and Big Pharma, the latter has too much money.
I do hope I’m wrong though, and they kneecap Big Pharma, which leads to way cheaper meds in general.
Kneecapping Big Pharma would be fine if the government were planning to invest in public science mRNA vaccine research. But if they cut off the market for privately developed vaccines, and thus the motive for pharma companies to develop them, and in place only put RFK’s blood letting and leeches (at premium prices), that’s not such a good thing.
Meanwhile insulin is more expensive than it ever has been in the history of it’s existence. While Dumbass Trump and Dipshit Kennedy along with their Republican backup singers are doing exactly dick about it.
I honestly think they subscribe to a fascist belief that people who get sick are weak and should die to purify the gene pool. Unless it’s them, in which case they should receive the best care money can buy. And the fact that they can afford it shows that they are strong and successful and have the bestest genes.
This is not the thing that should be used to cow big pharma. This is a public health matter, and the FDA is being willfully criminally negligent. This will kill people.
These same types already did kill people. They want to kill more people.
Beneath everything they do is a fascist ideology that maintains some people are naturally strong and superior and deserve to live, while others (most people) are weak and inferior and deserve to die. Fascists think it is wrong to help the weak and inferior to live because it slows progress towards a world populated only by the superior master race. And they all imagine themselves to be superior humans, despite all the evidence that they are pathetic morons.
