More deaths means more Social Security for me
It’s not working out that way. More people without jobs means less pay in and more downward adjustments to social security.
There is no winning the lockdown game except if your end game is Biden, the democrats and running their experiments on the utopia they envision for us.

Who’s locked down anymore?
You think life approaches anything approximating normal? This obsession with Trump masks the real fallout from Covid that will severely impact a generation of work ready kids. Wait until they see what their prospects are.

So, will Trump force a pre-election approval before the safety data are in?
And what if he does? We've already seen polling data about wariness towards the vaccine. How would this effect it?
In previous surveys, people on the left were more open to the vaccine than people on the right. Surely Trump overruling scientists who then resign would cause a rethink on the left. Would people on the right who are more skeptical become less so?
If you zoom out far enough, true vaccine efficacy - creating herd immunity - is really the product of two numbers: the technical efficacy of the vaccine and people's confidence in it - i.e. the percentage of people who are willing to take it.
How much damage is he willing to do to that confidence number for a pre-election 'victory'? Will he even take the time to understand the tradeoff?

But of course they will spend all cycles around the politics of a vaccine. Just get it out there so I can take it.

As pressure for coronavirus vaccine mounts, scientists debate risks of accelerated testing
Behind the scenes, scientists and medical experts are concerned that rushing a vaccine could end up worsening the infection in some patients rather than preventing it.
Studies have suggested that coronavirus vaccines carry the risk of what is known as vaccine enhancement, where instead of protecting against infection, the vaccine can actually make the disease worse when a vaccinated person is infected with the virus. The mechanism that causes that risk is not fully understood and is one of the stumbling blocks that has prevented the successful development of a coronavirus vaccine.

Exactly. If enough people are dumb enough not to take it, that should ensure one will be available for me! LOL
(or even two doses as I have heard that some people say two will be required.)
