I’m thinking that 1) Biden’s not perfect and not horrible 2) America is wasting SO FREAKING MUCH TIME with the petty gotchas.
America’s days as a superpower have been squandered by political idiots and TV networks that lack integrity.
Rome fell. The Ottoman Empire fell. Now it’s the USA’s turn.
Starting with the former guy who discarded plans to handle this sort of emergency, the folks who’ve left and the folks who’re in office can’t handle a legitimate medical catastrophe because they’re too busy with theIr version of the Fish Slapping Dance.

Biden's top-down booster plan sparks anger at FDA

...

FDA officials are scrambling to collect and analyze data that clearly demonstrate the boosters' benefits before the administration’s Sept. 20 deadline for rolling them out to most adults. Many outside experts, and some within the agency, see uncomfortable similarities between the Biden team's top-down booster plan and former President Donald Trump's attempts to goad FDA into accelerating its initial authorization process for Covid-19 vaccines and push through unproven virus treatments.

On Tuesday, two top FDA vaccine regulators resigned — a decision that one former official said was rooted in anger over the agency’s lack of autonomy in the booster planning so far. A current health official said the pair, Marion Gruber and Philip Krause, left over differences with FDA’s top vaccine official Peter Marks. Now the agency is facing a potential mutiny among its staff and outside vaccine advisers, several of whom feel cut out of key decisions and who view the plan to offer boosters to all adults as premature and unnecessary.

 

POLITICO spoke to 11 current and former health officials and people familiar with the matter who described growing exasperation with the administration's disjointed process for implementing its booster plan. Those sources said there is little coordination between federal health agencies, even as two top FDA officials try to guide the rollout.

Washington Post reporting today on a massive randomized research study in Bangladesh the results of which its authors say offer the best evidence yet that widespread wearing of surgical masks can limit the spread of the coronavirus in communities. The study tracked 340,000 adults across 600 villages in Bangladesh. The study is under peer review with the journal Science.

So do I hope.  I sincerely hope that the 'demonstration effect' will convince more people of the seriousness of the pandemic.  Even in Canada, the prime minister during election stops is being heckled and harassed by violent anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

The USA has more than enough resources and expertise to manage virus variants.  Hopefully the 'people' will cooperate.  If nothing else, the Canadian economy depends on that.

I see. Subject change.
“It’ll be delivered, the vaccine, before the end of the year and, frankly, maybe even during the month of October,” Trump said Sept. 4.

At a separate event the same day, he added: “We remain on track to deliver a vaccine before the end of the year, and maybe even before November 1. We think we can probably have it sometime during the month of October.”

The president earlier in the year had said the virus would subside as temperatures warmed and pressed for a relaxation of restrictions. Instead he faced rising numbers of infection through the summer and increased criticism of his handling of the health crisis.

Yet he continued to express optimism going into the election, saying the situation was being overinflated by political opponents and the media. In August, Trump even conspiratorially suggested the “deep state” within the U.S. government might approve the vaccine right after the election — so as to damage him politically.

The parts that are left out make clear that Biden and Harris were raising questions not about the vaccines themselves, but about then-President Donald Trump’s rollout of the vaccines and the risk that the effort would become rushed or politicized.

Isn't that what I said ?

No doubt that you had joy in spamming this place with this negativity at the time as well.

But of course this has no bearing on anyone's hesitancy.  Right ?

"The nature of the scientific process during a pandemic, with its unrelenting influx of new data and constantly evolving understanding of it, makes health communication incredibly challenging. That reality, combined with botched messaging from public health agencies, has emboldened vaccine opponents."

Yup.   

The terrible, evil elites are imposing 'uncertainty' on real people who cling to religion, and weird secular ideologies to steer clear of uncertainty.   That and kill people that are not understood.
