@jolly All I said is he planted seeds of doubt (an opinion), he has made anti-vax statements (accurate), and when asked about COVID vax I replied with the comments that have planted the seeds of doubt among some (accurate). No mud here, just an opinion that references facts for context.
Of course. Autism and COVID deaths are the same thing. How silly of me to think otherwise...

Did you catch where he said that the Spanish flu ended the First World War?
That's an "unconventional" assessment of what happened.

Trump's a complete pillock.
Why don't British swearwords like "wanker", "bugger", "twat", and "pillock" offend Americans?

Pillock isn't a swear word.
That guy's a cockwomble.

Saw that this morning, I was overall glad to see how he handled it. A consistent message from him about the importance of the vaccine is pretty much the only thing that can make a dent in the anti-vax cohort out there. Plus he sees the vaccine as "his" victory so it doesn't surprise me he's now going on a full concert tour about it now. Still, good for him... and Candace came off pretty dumb and incorrect in that video.

Yep, and Trump wasn't the only one on that train 10 or 20 years ago. You only know what you know when you know it.
Exactly!!! I think we (collective we) need to remember this before we start denouncing changes to COVID protocols!
Science is always evolving based on an increase in knowledge.

Mr. Trump came up with 3 vaccines in less than 9 months.
Win.
Putting on my Ax hat. LOL President Trump did not come up with the three vaccines.
Research into vaccines for the corona type viruses has been going on for more than a decade. I have a friend who is a post-doc at USC in California and they have lab there that has been working on this for more than 10 years.
What President Trump did (and should rightly deserve credit for it) was to remove "roadblocks" that delay the research and bringing a product such as this to market.
Without his stepping in, I still think we would have had vaccines, but they would have been a while in the future.
