I’m hopeful but skeptical.

“ MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Tuesday that the country has become the first to approve a c****av***s v*****e, developed by the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow, with production and tens of thousands of inoculations to follow.
Officials have pledged to v******te millions of people, including teachers and front line health-care workers, with the experimental c****av***s v*****e beginning this month, raising global alarm that the country is jumping dangerously ahead of critical, large scale testing that is essential to determine if it is safe and effective.
Russian officials have said that a second v*****e from the state research center in Siberia, Vector, is not far behind.”

Given Trump's friendship with and strong belief in everything Putin says, I'd say Trump should be the first...

It's good to keep your enemies close.

Not likely safe, they are just saying it to claim to be the first.
I suggest ALL libs here in the USA take it first to ensure the safety and efficacy before Americans take it.

Gee, I was hoping you'd test it first.

H**er’s gonna h**e.
Somehow you managed to get from a v*****e to “Liberals”; and simultaneously make both of them unAmerican.

I was hoping to keep this apolitical.

If it works and is safe ... I don't care if it was invented by Stalin's ghost.

That would certainly be appropriate; and my point. I did not inject the politics, only commented on someone who did.

BFD. So Putin and Russia can claim bragging rights.

NYT: "A Russian health care regulator has become the first in the world to approve a v*****e for the c****av***s, President Vladimir V. Putin announced on Tuesday, though the v*****e has yet to complete clinical trials."

Now it is true that the US is usually one of the last countries, if not the last, to get any new medication approved, due to FDA procedures, but approval prior to completion of actually testing its safety and efficacy seems just a wee bit premature.

I didn’t think you had initiated it.

Do not wish to belabor the point; but why did you post my quote rather than the person to whom I was referring?

It was meant to be agreeing with you.

Don’t read anything else into it because it just isn’t there.

Perhaps FDA beurocratic empire building procedures (same in UK) should be abandoned somewhat when there is a p******c that is claiming so many lives. Lesser of two evils etc?

Lay off of Trump and get on with life.
