So shutdowns, by-and-large, would have remained widely in place for another 18 months and CV19 would have taken at least an extra 150K-200K lives.

Trump also issued the shutdown orders with Fauci. You want to see the presser? I've linked it here many times for the fanboys.

CV19 in early 2021 was predominated by the Alpha variant (B.1.1.7). People who carry your attitude either forget Alpha was roughly twice as lethal as today's variants. Either that, or you never knew it to begin with. The initial vax was also far more effective against it than today's vax is against the currently predominant Omicron descendants (XBB.1.5).

All of this is irrelevant. I don't care how scared you were. That is no excuse to federally fund a vaccine that doesn't work, has KNOWN side effects, and the only immunity it has is to protect the manufacturer from being sued.

But were it not for the vax, some state-level Potatobrain sycophants could have kept swaths of the US shutdown for years.

Yeah. Trump shouldn't have recommended them. Too bad he didn't have a DOJ to file lawsuits against the draconian restrictions in CA, MI, NY, etc, etc. Oh wait.....

Hindsight is normally 20/20. Yours is impaired.

You didn't need hindsight to tell that suspending civil liberties and expediting a never-been-successfully-deployed vaccine experiment were all extremely bad ideas. There were a few of us who tried to tell you from the beginning. Just because 'your guy' did it, doesn't make it right.
