Melinda Gates Is Totally Butthurt That Americans Will Get the Vaccine First
2020-12-11
[Townhall] Billionaire globalist Melinda Gates is "incredibly disappointed" that President Trump has put Americans first in line to receive the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine.

Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, told CNN's Poppy Harlow that it's America's and other high-income countries' responsibility to make sure impoverished nations get access to the vaccine just as quickly as everyone else.

"Everybody needs this vaccine," complained Gates. "If we only get it to the high-income countries, this disease is going to bounce around. We're going to see twice as many deaths. And our recovery of our economies is going to be much slower than if we get the vaccine out to everybody."

If Melinda ever flew commercial, she might be familiar with the advice of placing the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting other people. The Gates were skeptical that Operation Warp Speed would even produce a vaccine by year's end, but now they worry about Americans getting it first. The only thing consistent with these globalists is they always want America to come last.

While the Gates were doubting the 2020 arrival of a vaccine, the Trump administration was sending millions to states and coordinating efforts to distribute the vaccine as soon as one receives approval from the FDA.

Melinda Gates, who warns about so-called "vaccine nationalism," said President Trump's executive order putting Americans first in line to receive the vaccine "is exactly what we were worried about."

Gates said Trump should invoke the Defense Production Act, for the umpteenth time, and scale up "lots and lots of manufacturing so that not just the U.S. gets vaccines but everybody gets vaccines."

#9  Moderna mRNA vaccine

#8  It's a shame that the Moderna mRNA was created (based on military funded quick vaccine research) in 2 days in January, even before reports of Americans being infected with the virus. Instead of quickly completing the safety and efficacy trials and ramping production, government bureaucrats have slow walked the vaccine for nearly a year. There were more important considerations than the health and life of Americans or the health of the American economy. The November election for one.

#7  ^ Why, it's almost as if the virus had been tailored to affect people of European ancestry.

#6  If we only get it to the high-income countries, this disease is going to bounce around.

If it were not for the evil rich countries, there would not be vaccines in quantity.

And speaking of poor countries, looking at the worldometers, I notice that not a lot is going in in Africa. In any pandemic, you would expect Africa to be a giant Africa-shaped Petrie dish of disease, given the population, crowded cities, poor sanitation, and all that. But leading the list of per capita deaths is Belgium, not Nigeria. Kinda sorta makes you wonder if having a population that regularly takes anti-malarials helps ward off the Wu...
