Woohoo! The Orange Man proposes to vaccinate ALL Americans, 100%, before worrying about getting vaccine to Third-World countries. Suck on that, Dr. Tedros.

This is well-done, and proper. One of the things that gave me such an absolute undying visceral hatred for Obama ^1 was the 2014 flu season, when the CDC missed forecasting the correct strain, so that everyone found themselves short on vaccine. Obama gave a tranche of our initial production away to Africa, so they could vaccinate their health-care workers, while ordinary Americans remained unvaccinated and vulnerable. I'd still like to see him put on trial for that. He almost certainly condemned innocent Americans to death, so as to save people in the Third World.


^1 To be clear, I disliked and distrusted the man beforehand. This is where the hatred set in.

So, it looks as though Hillary will be trying again in 2020 - she's now blaming the rise of populism on out of control immigration. Rather a turnabout from her 2016 pledge to throw the borders open to South Americans, and double the number of Syrian refugees.

Had she run against Obama in 2012, she could probably have beaten him, and certainly that loser Romney, and right now she'd be winding up her second term.

In the end, I still think that all Hillary *really* believes in is that it's her turn to be President. While I certainly have no problem with a leader whose beliefs are changeable (I loved Bill Clinton), "be POTUS" seems to be Hillary's entire agenda. I have some reservations about that ending well.
