I keep seeing the question: Why is Trump taking credit for a vax that is killing people?
We have heard many explanations, including...
- He's in on it.
- He doesn't know the truth.
- He had to do it so we weren't locked down for 5 year.
- There are no deaths--that's all fake news from White Hats and the shots are saline (I heard this one just the other day).
- He has to sound like he still approves of it otherwise the media crushes him.
- A combination of the above.
Personally, I have always thought #5 was the most plausible explanation.
But my new thought is this: whoever smelt it, dealt it. Remember that from junior high? Same principle. Imagine if Trump came out against the vax and he highlighted the adverse effects. What would happen? He would be blamed. But by pretending to still praise it (while advocating for you to do your own research and make your own choice), he allows the blame to remain squarely on the pharmas and other bad actors. And if they try to blame him, he can say "All I did was clear the path to speed up the process... you're the ones who created poison."
He had to speed it up so they couldn't keep us locked down. And until he is back in the White House (which I still believe will happen), he must play "stupid".
Yes, people are dying and being maimed. But until Trump is in power and able to stop it, he can't do anything else except what he is doing. I have siad this before: I think his heart breaks anew each day that goes by that he is notable to stop it.
Thanks for reading. Have at it, Frens.
Awhile back, another poster highlighted some of the federal laws regarding a declared state of emergency, including the fact that as a matter of black-and-white law, the president must defer to subject-matter experts in the government's response to the emergency. According to this, developing the vaccine even under extreme acceleration, was the only way out, especially after HCQ and was tanked by the media and the bought-and-paid-for subject-matter experts. The opposition repeatedly had said that the only solution was the vaccine as part of the HCQ smear campaign, so after their public declarations they couldn't walk it back and were truly taken by surprise when he pushed it through successfully. Under this scenario it's part of why he pushed HCQ so hard and why the DS mobilized everything to kill it. HCQ got almost no meaningful traction in terms of public support and media support, leaving the media space primed for the vaccine.
I'm afraid I don't have the relevant laws linked or on hand, but perhaps other anons have it. Might be in Patel's devolution series. Anyway, this is a motivation for your reason #3, sucking the wind from the DS while giving the public a big wedge to push for opening instead of lockdowns.
