less so when you realize he's got a gun to his head and has to say that instead of pointing out the horrible way the US government is funding random vaccines based on unproven methods produced by random companies instead of funding at least one vaccine based on the tested method that's produced every other vaccine we've ever had...

But hes cited specific vaccine studies from a few different established medical research companies.

Your cynicism seems to have made you quite biased.

the federal government is only funding RNA vaccine development. they're doing it because its quick, but they're ignoring the fact that its NEVER WORKED IN HUMANS BEFORE! they're throwing all the money into these vaccines so trump can claim he's produced one before the election, not because they're the best way to do it.

I guarantee you that the researchers and medical professionals working on a vaccine are not doing it to make Trump look good. Theyre trying to find a safe vaccine thatll help contain COVID-19.

Here, do some research

Participants in this trial are receiving remdesivir or remdesivir with baricitinib.

Remdesivir has been used on humans plenty. I think you might just be misguided, my friend @monkmith

the companies doing it are doing it to make money. trump is writing them blank checks after all.

and that stage one trial, early results suggest that under 20% saw antibody generation and its way too soon to say they're effective...

They're banking so hard on this Moderna vaccine. Really hope it works.

Why are you claiming the clinical trials are using drugs never tested on humans? Can you just admit youre wrong?

There are plenty of other vaccines in development. You really need to do some research.

again, none of them are funded by the federal government. only mRNA vaccines are currently being funded by the federal government. maybe instead of being a jackass you'll actually read about it?

who was the Representative that was skyping with them? Bobby Rush....I can barely understand a word he is saying. how can a politician get away with talking like that? I thought being able to speak clearly was a requirement of the job. Even Fauci half the time is confused what this guy is saying

Wheres your source? Federal government outsources research to private companies constantly.

Youre so mad and defensive, and I find it hilarious.

True on both counts. What I'm getting at though is he alone is not some end all be all on this virus. Rand Paul told him as much and he agreed.

Would you really rather get said briefings from Donald Trump than an actual expert on infectious diseases?

Hes one of the top infectious disease doctors in the US, and has been blatantly non partisan through this pandemic.

Id listen to him.

so what? he's the top expert. why do you need to vote him in? he's the man for the job. you were fine with the daily trump briefings where he was supposed to talk about the virus but he always turned them into mini rallies. I said from the beginning, that those briefings should have been led by Fauci with Trump either not even there or standing off to the side with his fucking mouth shut
