That is not really true. Biden could have done what Trump was doing with COVID and schools would have remained closed, and downtowns would have died on the vine. Instead, he got vaccines out to the public in a massive way and the country opened back up and the economy started to roll again. Trump could have ridden what Biden left, but instead went on with the tariff nonsense, and now with troops in the streets, the markets do not like authoritarian governments and do not like leaders picking winners and losers in the marketplace, which is what Trump is doing. Think of how much higher the markets would be right now f Trump just kept his mouth shut? |

Lies. Trump’s Operation Warp Speed created the vaccines and was a miracle. Read Ezra Klein’s book if you need any validation. And if the country would have followed Florida’s lead with COVID policies and protected the elderly and vulnerable without the learning loss and economic downturn that lockdowns caused, we’d be in a much better economic position right now. |

The S&P is at 6,052 right now and is up 3.5% in the last month. Markets have risen since these ICE raids because they care about the good May inflation numbers and the fact China and the US are talking more about Trump’s reaction to the protests. Literally, what are you talking about? Your opinions are literally divorced from reality. |

You do realize that more people died in FL than anywhere else right? Now, you could argue that a few more deaths would have been better for the economy. That's your moral call. |

Well, the job numbers are down, businesses are laying off, companies are not investing b/c there is too much uncertainty and now one is buying houses, but hey, everything is great. Oh, and grocery prices didn't decrease. |

Any president would have done what Operation Warp Speed did - throw money at vaccine development. Once it was approved the Trump administration had NO PLAN as to how to distribute it to the entire population and the Biden administration had to start that from square one after not even being allowed a proper presidential transition. |

Where are you getting your data? Covid Death Rate, By State https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/ And do you mean to tell me that a state where an overwhelming percentage of people are seniors like Florida had more deaths than a state with more young people per capita, like NC?! Holy smokes!!! You must crush arguments with 2nd Graders… |

Throwing money at things doesn’t mean guaranteed success. Just look at our per capita spending on public education compared to countries like Sweden and Japan. Want another example? How many charging stations have been installed since Biden’s infrastructure bill? Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/ev-charging-stations-slow-rollout/ I never voted for Trump. But I give credit where credit is due. Crushing ISIS and Operation Warp Speed were great accomplishments. I’d say the same thing if Obama or Biden had been behind them. |

Do you understand what the word "rising" means? |

I would love to hear what you think Trump personally did to “guarantee the success” of the vaccine over and above what every other President, none of whom would have removed the pandemic warning team prior to 2020, would have done. He didn’t even get a dose in public. |

You could make the same case for every president. You could say that Biden shouldn’t get credit for the CHIPS Act because he didn’t write the bill, didn’t read the entire bill, and perhaps didn’t even know what he was signing off on, but that’s a stupid game and I give Biden credit for the CHIPS Act. I give Obama credit for killing Bin Laden even though he didn’t personally plan the mission, fly the helicopters, or pull the trigger. It’s not that hard. Breathe. |

Your chart didn't help you either. More people died in red states where they opened up. That kinda sucks. Also hard to look at Fl when they didn't publish the data. |

Operation Warp Speed was nothing more than promising to buy vaccines so there was a ready market for mass production. Any president would have done that. But then, why did Trump and the right backpeddle and say that vaccines were a hoax and didn't work? All that did was cause multiple further outbreaks and a disporprotionate amount of damage and deaths, particularly in red areas? The fact is, when trump left office, he left no contingency to get the vaccines out to the public. All of those stadium mass vaccination efforts were 100% conceived, planned and executed by the Biden Administration (and kudos to the National Guard who staffed a lot of those events) Fact: science didn't know what the impact of COVID was going to be and it is always better to be safe, no? But when were the lockdowns, 2020, right? Who was president then? |

the vaccine platform was created by trukish immigrants in Germany. There is no scenario were "operation warp speed created the vaccines" - none. |
