So they thought they had to do the same?

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

It never fails to impress me just how stupid of a man he his. I wouldn’t believe it’s biologically possible to be that stupid if he wasn’t constantly displaying that it is.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.
If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

The FDA is now actively trying to kill us.
It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

Trump claims he has the authority to impose tariffs to respond to an economic “emergency.” Is getting his feelings hurt an emergency? This shows how absurd is tariff crusade is.
