Front and center, directly making history!

I revel in anonymity. We have people in our department who eat this shit up, I told my boss they should be doing this. At least I will be behind a mask.

Butt shots only...just like boot camp!!!

We start administering the Pfizer vax today. I was voluntold to mix and draw up the first batch; my colleague will give the first shot. Hospital admin and media will be there. Oh, for fuck's sake....

As long as you don't turn people into pincushions when the cameras are rolling. Congratulations on making history!

This morning me, my boss, and a colleague were training employee/occupational health. A couple big-wigs were watching, one of whom is the HMFIC of our health system. He made a comment about it going into the arm, I said "no, sir, we drop trou and shoot it in the gluteal." Brief pause, he burst out laughing. My boss pulled me aside after and said "please don't do that again..."

In other news @Devildoc and @lindy have acquired the same legal representation in their upcoming lawsuits.

If Biden was in the Navy he would say, "Cum on, man!"

Why they won't let me give the vax:

With cameras rolling, just before you insert the needle, you need to look into the camera and say, "I sure hope this goes better than the anthrax vaccine I got in the Navy"....then start twitching.

Stupid Orange man...there's no way we'll have a vaccine by the end of the year. Dumbass, what do you know about medicine, blah, blah, blah...

Oh, wait.

FDA's Covid-19 vaccine authorization is a 'monumental moment,' expert says. It came on the deadliest day of the pandemic

This was my favorite news story today. So the mainstream media has to add "miracle worker" to the President's list of accolades now, yea? Nobel prize miracle worker.

It's a German vaccine though. What's Trump got to do with the signing off by the FDA?

No, Pfizer is an American company and the vaccine development was a partnership between Pfizer and BioNTech, which is a German company.

Fair but still, what's he got to do with it? One passing comment made ages ago isn't exactly something to shout from the rafters unless that's the only thing you've got to shout about.

Even Canadian media credits Trump for Operation Warp Speed and getting the vaccines here quickly.

It's pretty straightforward, he encouraged businesses to move forward through parameters outlined in Operation Warp Speed.

In April, "experts" predicted the most optimistic timeline for a vaccine was 18+ months. In August, the President stated a vaccine would be available by year end. Those on the left and other critics scoffed at him.

Pfizer may not have been part of the official Warp Speed agreement but it still set the tone and will leverage framework. In addition, Moderna and AstraZeneca were part of Warp Speed and Moderna is ready to ask for FDA approval with AstraZeneca trailing closely behind.

It's about setting an optimistic challenge as a leader and having faith that our ingenuity will allow us to meet the challenge.

True, although I think he definitely didn't do himself any favors at first.

While I'm hopeful that it will be a "credit where credit's due" situation, I somehow doubt that this will be remembered as fondly as "We choose to go to the moon . . . "

I'd frame it differently. The media and typical Trump critics didn't do him any favors.

That said, I generally agree with the comment that Trump is often his own worst enemy.

@Blizzard summed it up well.

Here’s the thing- you can’t have it both ways. We can’t shovel all the world’s shit on the president and blame him (because the buck stops with him) and then refuse to give him credit when one of his programs succeeds (because he didn’t have anything to do with it).

Warp speed was his program, he called his shot on the vaccine, he got lambasted by the media, and he delivered.

Kudos to the president on this one.

They had no trouble adding Putin stooge to his list so why not?

Slightly political, but mostly Rona related. Gavin Newsom could be facing a recall, petition already has 800k signatures.
