We're headed for another pandemic with no vaccine in sight. Due to one man's worm-addled-brain personal beliefs.

...but there are so many of them in this administration.

And it's the way the Trump administration wants it. Mass confusion keeps the eyes off of them.

as an efficient way to insert DNA into a living cell. It's not going to go away just because RFK JR is too stupid to know what it is or how it works or why it can streamline vaccine production, especially in a crisis situation. He's a moron and we all hope he's just a bad stink passing through.

mRNA could be used for HIV and cancer vaccines.

Already, it shows promise for pancreatic cancer.

For whatever reason, Trump has quacks with their MAHA ideology in charge of healthcare.

Trump could have pursued a legacy of using mRNA vaccines to save lives; he did not.

Hope that other countries are able to develop this promising technology.

BTW, I will never call RFK Jr, just RFK; he has disgraced the name.

Not only RFK Jr is responsible for this failure.

All of the Republicans who voted for his confirmation are also responsible.

Sen. Cassidy could have blocked his confirmation in the committee.

...followers' eventual refusal to get vaccinated. Trump made no real effort to change their minds. And then there were events like this one, where Trump was booed by his own MAGA chud audience for even suggesting they take the Covid vaccine.

they will be owned and controlled by other countries, leaving the US even less competitive on the world stage.

But there is another important point here. A central premise of Reaganomics is "Socialise the risks, privatize the profits". And nowhere has this been applied more than in the field of medical research.

The American TAXPAYERS pay hundreds of billions of dollars to fund research, mostly at large universities. And then, when there are breakthroughs, somehow private corporations (and often the professors who were paid to conduct the research) end up with the patents and trade secrets that are worth many fortunes and the taxpayers get nothing in return.

That must end. We want to "run the government like a business"? Well, then the taxpayers must be paid a fair return for our investment. Where is this in anybody's platform? This would make a GREAT campaign point. "When I am elected, we will end the ripping off of taxpayers by industry that walks off with the fruits of our investments. Those days are over. When the taxpayers pay for important research that produces breakthroughs, the taxpayers will be paid handsomely. No more freeloading by corporations that didn't make any investment."

Populism is popular and there are populist messages with just about every major issue. Dems need to learn how to frame these messages in the strongest way possible.

filled with bigots, morons, radicals, reprobates who all had to pleasure The Siberian candidate to get their unwarranted positions.
