Trump’s legacy
therealpopkiller
Killing half a million people out of apathy then trying to overthrow the government. What a legacy indeed.
traumapatient
What’s even more traumatizing is that even with 600K deaths. The us government has done fuck all to make healthcare a right for all.
racknoz
Why would they? They're profiting massively from all of this. Rich people don't care.
rogue00ff
On behalf of the the vaccinated, THANK YOU for all you've done & still do! For the un-vaccinated by choice, fuck off.

RN here. March 2020, right before Mask mandate. 25 of us on my unit got sick over the weekend from a single sick patient.

MD here, some patients think of covid as "i don't need vaccine its just another virus that we just have to push through." Which is wrong
TresusIbor
We're in a country in which they will happily force women to lose bodily autonomy, but making a vaccine mandatory is apparently a too far.
NickRivieraMD
Let's show em what for. Mandatory abortions for all
Fishkeeper
We really can't make any sort of medical treatment completely mandatory. Mandatory to work, sure. Not mandatory, period.
bananasformargs
I work in healthcare. It’s extremely frustrating. I get so mad when I have to go into a patients Covid room who never got vaccinated bc they
bananasformargs
Chose not to. Why should I have to go expose myself and then go home to my unvaccinated 1 year old bc that pt chose not to get the vaccine..
bananasformargs
I’ve always wanted to work in healthcare ever since I was young and these people make me not want to work in healthcare anymore.

The playback on how to deal with a pandemic was tossed out because it was written by a black man..
ohana1221
hi! i do not think that is correct. but i understand your sentiment. wasnt it Bush jr. who asked for the pandemic playbook to be written?
tcdriver
Your right ...Obama just added to the one Bush started....trump threw it out
ohana1221
so not a republican here, have not been a fan of their fascist and hypocritical rhetoric for over 3 decades. just trying to seek truth

Seems to be a program started by bush and built upon by obama. Which is what likely made trump avoid it all.

My pregnant sister in law claims her doctor won't even allow her to get tested for covid, let alone vaccinated. I know she's lying...
REOJackwagon
There is a $20 covid test on the shelf at wal mart, she can go to any Walgreens to get vaccinated
kanne31
And she isn't taking any precautions to keep herself safe. It's beyond frustrating.
ScorpionSage
I believe the not getting tested part, I had a doc last year that refused when I was sick. But she’s probably lying.
adeilran
Jesus. Up here you have walk-in and drive-thru testing clinics all over the place, completely free for both rapid and 'brain poke' testing.

And even with the full test you get results over SMS and email within 12-24 hours. Avg of 1 case a day for the last 2 weeks. Nova Scotia.

Trump turned a pandemic into genocide

They'll be the source for the vaccine's resistant variant, and if it takes the last person I care in this world, I'll make them pay.

To be clear, it's not a matter of if but clearly of when, in US, in Europe, elsewhere, if I encounter one more anti-vaxx, I'll make a mess.

When I'm hearing about people that had every opportunity to get educated/vaxxed and just didn't. Pity is gone, they're willfully ignorant.

Sympathy is gone for the person. But also like. It’s still really fucking sad. And I haven’t been able to fully cope with that.

All we can do is get the vaccine and continue to wear a mask. I pray it is enough but fear it won't be.
PieAndPunch
Invest in the best masks you can afford. N95's, KN95's, and KF94's. I like the KF94's they fit well and have ~40hrs usage time. They are--

way more available now than they were at the beginning of the the pandemic. I use behealthyus">.net">behealthyusa.net and bonafidemasks.com

WrathOfJigglypuff
We are fucked then. You know they won't do either of these things and would literally, rather die.
JackalopeElope
No. We can also make the vaccine mandatory.
therealpopkiller
They still won’t get it; they’ll just forge the proof of vaccination. It will take years to end this. Maybe decades.

Hand out tranquilliser guns loaded with vaccine. Then open up and have a field day. Win win for the gun nuts in the states.
MAGICxMURDERxBAG

djzapz
I don't think making the vaccine 100% mandatory is viable in most democracies, however, I think preventing them from accessing public places
djzapz
is completely reasonable. These are people who refuse to cooperate in a society, so they should lose their access to public space.
DanFlorentONE
I mean, while they wont make it mandatory directly, if they restrict enough things for the unvaxxed then its kind of the same thing, right?
djzapz
Kinda. But opting out is still possible with great effort
Draenic
Crazy to me that a TB shot can be mandatory, but COVID hasn't become so yet.
VolcanoHerder
I think a lot of places are waiting until it has full approval from the FDA and not the emergency approval it was given. I don't necessarily
VolcanoHerder
agree with that, and I got my vaccine the first day I was eligible, but I think that's the case.
sylvnal
Once it gets past emergency use approval, I'm sure it will be in all situations TB is for sure.
MaryPupSkins
Get vaccinated. The life you save may be your own.
njessup1992
I would, but we have to wait because the Americans bought all the early batches and then didn't use them

It’s the reverse now. Kids are dying.

That's a pretty disingenuous statement since it implies that the elderly are not dying now. The majority of deaths are still in older people

The right not to mask, not to vax, is one of many rights no smart, sane person would exercise. You have the right to jump in a septic tank.

Agreed. You've the right to choose not to do those things but there's consequences: from shops blocking you to a horrendous death from covid
IveGotGas
The rest of us also have the right to choose to vaccinate and follow restrictions with hope to prevent the worst from happening to others

Trump made this a political issue. When there was no need to. Because he was scared it will impact the elections. Most of this is on him.
TsubakiTragic
I'm amazed that so many political leaders see a pandemic as anything other than an 'end of world' scenario.
carmelkittiekat
No, ALL of this is on him!

I think it was more his narcissism and having a pandemic during his presidency would be a blemish on his accomplishments.

His goal was to play it down and hope it goes away or blame it on the next guy to take office, but it hit hard and fast.

Accomplishment just getting president, not that he did anything useful. Thank God they turned him down for Mt. Rushmore .

whatsisname
Of course, Charlottesville would have never happened in the first place with any other president in office, so it's 2x the failure for him.

Honestly, just saying "Nazis are bad" is pretty much the ideal issue for a president to have to deal with, and he still fucked it up.
jixathejinx
Ditto. "W" was a fucking gem and absolute gentleman compared to trump.
Delathi
W made terrible decisions, but I do think that he made most of them thinking they were what was best for Americans. Trump was for Trump only
SteveMND
Yeah, that was always my feeling as well. Bush meant well for the country, but was just terrible at it/listened to the wrong people.
Danieltheengineer
Compared to Trump being the operative. Let's not overlook the war crimes in our rose tinted view.
theEarlOfSharts
Yea W is still a war criminal. Small genocide in Iraq. Two of our longest wars. Trillions spent on the military industrial complex. Cmon
Promethianfire
Yes. Thats what gives so much weight to the statement that he was good by comparison.
Rhythmaster
Meh, the patriot act, 2 endless wars (America lost), 2008 financial crash, none of this was exactly a picnic... still feeling the effects.

I do think almost any other president would have handled a pandemic better tho, even bush contributed to the pandemic preparedness plan,

I agree to a point. Without Trump and his core cult leaders, we might have seen as low as 25-30% staunchly resistant to masking/vax, not 49%
