The mere fact that Trump stood behind Fauci this whole time should make any Trump 2024 supporter think twice.

You had no idea who Fauci was until Trump put him in the spotlight.

I will never forgive Trump for this.

For making Fauci accountable for his actions? You're a real sicko you know that?

No. Trump praised Fauci. Made Fauci popular and unquestionable.

Correct. And I shall repeat myself. You had no idea who Fauci was until Trump put him in the spotlight.

Trump is a terrible politician. He lost me when he supported lockdowns and vaccines.

Trump is a terrible politician.

Correct. He is no career politician. He is a president.

He lost me when he supported lockdowns and vaccines.

That was Fauci: Apr 2, 2020,

This is Trump: Saturday Apr 18 2020

And an mRNA treatment is not a vaccine. No matter how many of them you have taken. No refunds.

You got any more smoke you want to blow up our asses, I'll bend over and spread'em for you buddy.

Trump and Fauci were at-odds with each other since nearly the beginning...and now we see the behind the scenes of why.

What?! Trump's people were very clear: he was cheated out of the election because of (1) retirement homes in Wisconsin (2) that dominion guy inserted and later removed a usb stick (3) stacey abrams.

Giuliani, Sidney Powel, Lin Woods, all of whom were in regular contact with trump, were 100% clear that Trump DIDNT lose and if he did, it was because of the venezuelan cheats above and NOTHING to do with covid.

You cannot be trump -leaning or someone who voted for and believed trump and his people, and NOT accept what I wrote above. You cannot believe that trump would have been a suitable President in 2020 and also believe that fauci and covid had anything to do with the election.

Settle down Beavis, I have never said Trump won the election, or that I was Trump leaning, or that I thought he'd be a good president. Just reporting on some possible political gamesmanship that may theoretically at least, have been at the expense of American lives. If they delayed what they believed was a life saving intervention to score political points against Trump as this piece suggests, that would be worse than despicable.

I guess my comment was more directed at trump voters than you as op specifically.

I do disagree with the overall framing of the article. The premise is that, had moderna released some positive mrna results in October, the vote may have gone one way. And according to the article, Dr fauci caused them to release results later in November, which led the the vote going the other way. This is completely laughably incorrect. If anyone out there thinks November 2020 Trump voters would have reacted positively to vaccine news, they don't know any November 2020 trump voters. In fact, had.trump's voters known during October that moderna had some new positive info concerning Warp Speed, they might have voted for Jo Jorgensen in even greater numbers. No, trump voters hate vaccines, they do not react well to vaccine news, and it's disingenuous to pretend that they would have, or that a doctor practicing science would delay science for political reasons
