      You think trump voters are mad because the picks don’t care about the working class?

      Do you guys not read this shit? They’re mad about an AG that’s not pro-gun enough and someone advocated for COVID vaccines.

    Trump gave a ton of money to pharma to make vaccines quick. He gave enough masks for the red areas, but did some fuckery with blue areas to make covid worse there to score political points against democratic mayors and governors. The leopards escaped the cities.

    If only there were some way to know this is what he’d do.

      Except that this article is talking about MAGA Truth Social users whining over the Surgeon General pick, who - shocker! - supports vaccines and masking.

      This is a surprise from Trump.

        Trump was super proud of the vaccine. And admittedly, his administration did a good job with fast tracking it.

        I doubt Trump is even anti-vax. He’s a huge germophobe. To the point that i’m shocked he allows RFK Jr anywhere near him with all the roadkill that guy has eaten.

          Regardless, he megaphoned anti-vax talking points and inflamed the entire situation, he’s still directly responsible for so many deaths, let’s not whitewash where he stands on the issue just because his administration allowed people to do their jobs.

        Im not a smart man, but I run a large complicated facility for a job.

        When I have a safety issue, I call our safety expert. When I need to know about loading and unloading in the dock, I speak to the dock supervisor. When I have an admin issue, I speak to the admin lady… I do not like some of the people I have to rely on, but they are very VERY good at their jobs.

        Even most of his supporters know Trump is a figurehead but they are seeing him surround himself with cronies and political appointments instead of qualified and intelligent people, even if those people would just find the “least bad” way to implement his moronic ideas.

          You should read the article. They LIKE that they’re seeing him surround himself with cronies. They’re upset that one of his picks isn’t ENOUGH of a crony.

      Read the article, they are complaining that he’s naming an half normal surgeon general instead of a complete quack.

        That’s been true for a while? He had to cater during his term too. He failed covid so bad but that was more an ego thing than being anti vaccine or masks. He’s a really really small man.

    Yeah, but not for the reasons most people are thinking.

    For anyone who hasn’t read the article, and the articles this article is referencing, they’re upset because his Surgeon General pick is in favor of Vaccines and mask mandates. That’s it. They thought they’d get an anti-vaxxer in there.

    So sadly, they are not turning on trump in the way people in this post are assuming.

    If COVID comes back, I’ll actually be okay with that. More lockdowns and WfH for me, more MAGA scum dying in agony on ventilators for them. Vaccines for whoever wants to live.

      Lockdowns? In a second Trump admin?

      If anything, government mandated door licking before lockdowns.

      Bold of you to think there would be…

      • Lockdowns
      • Work from home
      • Vaccines
      • Any published stories about the resurgence of COVID instead of vague, “respiratory illness” reports sprinkled about

        I believe they meant another pandemic the likes of COVID. The world would most definitely care. The news have been quite loud about the monkey pox recently for instance.

        COVID itself? Yeah people don’t care anymore. If you actively look for the information, you’ll find out about new strains and all, but the general public just… isn’t interested in that anymore? It’s certainly not talked about anymore.

        Seeing how quickly people went to completely forget about COVID, as well as looking back at how people behaved during the pandemic, I’m convinced that a slightly more deadly virus would’ve wiped humanity.

      Trump will ban lockdowns and WFH by executive order. How much that will apply to you will depend on your employer and state. If we have another pandemic with similar transmission rates then it will kill ten times as many people.

        Personal responsibility will not save you;

        …But wearing a full-face respirator with P-100 HEPA cartridges every time you’re out in public will.

        No, seriously.

        I wore a respirator through the first year of the pandemic. Almost everyone I work with caught it; my immediate boss–who is a duller-than-a-sack-of-hammers anti-vax dumbass–caught it five times, and I didn’t get it until after the first vaccine came out (…and I got vaccinated just as soon as it was cleared for the general public). Once I wasn’t wearing the mask all the time, then I got it. Is that real proof? No. But that kind of thing will sharply reduce your risks.
