Exactly the time to cut NIH funding, exit the WHO, and put a vaccine sceptic as Secretary of Health.

Obviously the work of a real genius who understands the power of using very bright lights inside the body to fight COVID.

Remember: COVID spared babies. H1N5 won’t.

Combine that with the real likelihood of a 9/11-type event due to collapse of the FBI and boy oh boy will Trump fans have a lot to answer for.

They'll answer for nothing, they'll blame globalists for the terrorists and renegade fauci labs for any virus.

This.

100% Reichstag fire.

When you increase the odds of catastrophe, you are also increasing the need for more authoritarian responses.

We had a 9/11-type event and many many many smaller scale terrorists events WITH a "non-collapsed" FBI!

I'm not sure what "9/11 type" event your referring to.

Saying there are still terrorists attacks, so we should gut the FBI is like saying the flu is still a thing so we should gut the CDC.

Well, maybe 9/11 itself?

That happened (the planning stages at least) before 9/11.

Hmmm... I sort of inferred a "since 9/11" but I concede that's not actually spelled out in the comment I'm replying to, so fair enough.

disingenuous answer not becoming of yc

What, pray tell, is disingenuous?

Sure, the comment is a bit pointed, but isn’t the GOP the party of “F%#k Your Feelings”?

What part of my comment was false?

This is a factual answer. We need to keep the facts here on HN, other sites are being drowned in propaganda.

To clarify: The deeply unserious way our current President tackled Covid-19 is why it got so bad in the first place. Once the Democrats took over, the plague was eradicated in short order, with vaccines, organization, and correct information. And NIH and Darpa funding is what allowed that vaccine to be created in the first place. Spare me the BS about operating warp-speed...the pharmas were doing that anyway. It was the critical mRNA research (now banned BTW) that allowed the creation of the vaccine. Facts are funny things.

Operation Warp Speed was Trump. It was a success.
