11. I personally wasn't aware of the derailing of the vaccine research.

It REALLY pisses me off.

I was aware that starting in Dub's administration (surprisingly, enough) and ramped up considerably during President Obama's administration. The public health experts had convinced the WH and presumably sections of the legislature that a pandemic was not a matter of if, but, when. It would be interesting to know the true extent of these preparations, but, the evidence of the playbook, response teams, and vaccine research show it must have been a large blip on the radar of what daily activity was devoted to it.

Then, under the Orangenstein Monster, it was all dismantled. Probably, mostly due to as you say "the black guy's" participation, but, I'm not going to let the rest of the GrOPper establishment take cover behind his ample behind. I know that starting in at least 2011 the US Government was being slashed and funding was cut to the bone with sequestration. It has only gotten exponentially worse under Moscow Mitch. This was in preparation for the rape of the tax code at the behest of Kochs, the DeVos, and a long list of other 1%-ers. So, they could get it ALL and drown the US in the bathtub. Stated so clearly by Stone, Bannon, Gingrich, and coined by Grover.

Now we're stuck with this nightmare while they safely root it on from their enclaves and yachts.
