    Fact remains, he was still more accurate about the timing of the vaccine than Fauci was, your supposed leasing expert on infectious diseases

    And even with Trump's comments about it disappearing in the warmer weather, it does don't disappear, but it did slown down, then jump back up heading into winter, still more accurate than what Fauci said about the seasons, which was absolutely nothing

    So how does that happen? Your leading expert on infectious diseases is half a year more wrong on the vaccine than Trump?

    Three days after the Nashville explosion, Trump is still quiet about it.

    He is still president and has a responsibility to publicly address the incident and explain why it went undetected.

    These People Made Tons Of Money In 2020 As The World Fell Apart
    If you still need proof that the world is built for the wealthy to succeed, just take a look at how fortunes diverged this year.

    2020 Made Income Inequality In The US Even Worse

    excerpt:

    "As more than 20 million people were receiving unemployment benefits and Congress held back too long on passing a second round of stimulus, American billionaires’ wealth had increased by $931 billion by the fall — more than the entire economy of the Netherlands. This divergence underscores just how drastically financial, political, and corporate systems are built to benefit those who already have so much, even in times of widespread loss, and exclude the have-nots. People with money, assets, and stocks saw their wealth and savings rise this year while those excluded from the year’s stock market rally were too often left in dire circumstances; some tech companies powered by low-paid contract labor thrived while their workers became sick or injured; and the widespread collapse of small businesses bolstered the success of competitors with greater access to resources and capital.

    Meanwhile, existing economic structures almost ensure that the benefits of any financial recovery next year will continue to be spread unequally without some deliberate intervention. “Looking ahead to the next decade, investors face a world that is more indebted, more unequal,” according to a report by UBS. While top-line metrics about an improving economy will capture all the wealth held by the richest, it is important not to overlook the fallout experienced on the other side."

    84% of stock is owned by the richest 10% of Americans. If you're using the stock market as a dipstick, the only thing you're measuring is how fast the rich are getting richer. It has nothing to do with you; you aren't even a part of the equation.

    On February 25, 2020, Trump said a vaccine for the coronavirus was near, after praising China.

    Trump: "In fact, we're very close to a vaccine."

    He continued to make statements throughout the year that the cure was around the corner.

    Eventually a vaccine arrives. His followers give him credit for supposedly accurately predicting when it would arrive.

    The coronavirus vaccine currently isn't widely available to the general public in the U.S.

    20 million vaccinations was the goal for December but only 1.9 million have been documented.

    The next few months will be spent vaccinating high risk people such as healthcare workers, residents of long-term care facilities, and inmates. Widespread vaccinations of the general public will follow.

    Issues with distributing the vaccine.



    On the ground, the pledge to vaccinate 20 million against Covid-19 in December seems unrealistic
    By Olivia Goldhill

    Pledge to vaccinate 20 million in December seems unrealistic - STAT

    excerpt:

    "Operation Warp Speed recently announced that Walgreens and CVS would help distribute vaccines to long-term care residents, but these pharmacies are not evenly distributed across the United States. “We don’t have either of those organizations anywhere near our service area,” said Lundquist. “I don’t logistically know if that private sector is going to be able to provide that [distribution].” Nursing homes also have the option to partner with local pharmacies, but these are unlikely to have the necessary staff or storage resources.

    Access is an added challenge for Pfizer’s vaccine, which needs to be kept at ultra-cold temperatures. Both Belden, in California, and Lundquist, in Wisconsin, said some rural facilities were struggling to get hold of dry ice, which is used to keep the vaccines at proper temperatures. “We don’t know to what extent we’re going to need to source the dry ice, whether it would be us individually or whether it will be the state health department,” said Belden.

    St. Croix Regional Medical Center previously used dry ice from a meat-packing plant, but the quality isn’t good enough for Pfizer’s vaccine, said Lundquist. The hospital is trying to secure another vendor, but the nearest is an hour to 90 minutes away. Moderna’s vaccine doesn’t require this ultra-cold storage, but none of the facilities STAT contacted knows yet which of the vaccines it will receive.

    Even for larger, urban hospitals, planning for so many distribution eventualities is a huge resource drain. There are six teams working on various aspects of the plan, said Houston Methodist’s Schwartz, taking care of details including staff shifts, moving needles and alcohol preparation wipes to vaccination locations, education to help reduce hesitancy, and deployment itself.

    There are endless eventualities to worry about. “Will every staff person who’s delivering the vaccine dilute it properly? What if it breaks, what if the shipment doesn’t come? What if it sits on the dock and doesn’t get to the freezers?” said Schwartz."

    Trump signs massive measure funding government, COVID relief

    excerpt:

    "While the president insisted he would send Congress “a redlined version” with items to be removed under the rescission process, those are merely suggestions to Congress. The bill, as signed, would not necessarily be changed.

    Lawmakers now have breathing room to continue debating whether the relief checks should be as large as the president has demanded. The Democratic-led House supports the larger checks and is set to vote on the issue Monday, but it's expected to be ignored by the Republican-held Senate where spending faces opposition.

    Republicans and Democrats swiftly welcomed Trump's decision to sign the bill into law."

    Trump is implementing the Impoundment Control Act to try to coerce Congress into changing parts of the spending bill to his liking.


    Congress signals it will mostly ignore Trump's post-signing demands on $2.3 trillion spending package

    excerpt:

    "Trump said he will hold up the foreign aid funds, passed at levels he had already approved in his budget and in many instances requested, using the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, The Wall Street Journal reports. But he can only freeze the funds for 45 days, at which point President-elect Joe Biden will be in the White House."

    Trump will be escorted out of OUR White House in 23 days. After that some serious prosecutors will start asking him questions which he so far has been unwilling to answer. Lev Parnas will testify against him. Michael Cohen will testify against him. E Jean Carroll is going after him in civil court but might transform the case to a criminal court like that of Bill Cosby. No pardon will keep him out of a New York prison cell. If he gets 17 years that means he'll be 91 when he gets out.
