Does anyone remember the Aids epidemic? A lot of people have died because of the Aids epidemic, although not as infectious as Covid-19. Aids was definitely a death sentence at one point in time. In the 1980s and ’90s, Aids was the pandemic of those times. I don’t know how much was done, even though it was clearly an epidemic, but I know it took years before there was any form of medication for it. Fast-forward to 2020, and here the world facing a new epidemic like this. Russia has already asked the World Health Organization to register a vaccine.
For those who think Trump hasn’t done anything to combat covid-19, here is what happened I don’t know if anyone has heard of Operation Warp speed, for those who don’t know what it is here is brief summary. Operation Warp speed is a private partnership with the government to accelerate the production and distribution of a vaccine for covid-19. It is said by various sources that every danger that a new vaccine may pose was taken into consideration. Mind you this was done as early as March, it was when Trump had a meeting with everyone who is would be involved in producing and distributing vaccines for which $10 billion was allocated through the Cares ACT. This is what made it possible for Pfizer to come up with a vaccine right after the elections. I would say this is a challenge for scientists to come up with a working vaccine. President Trump did talk to the experts before unleashing operation warp speed. He was able to get the following organizations and departments to the table. It was almost like a competition to see who would come up with a vaccine first.
- NIH (National Institute of health)
- Food and Drug Administration
- Biological Advanced Research & Development
- Center for Disease Control & Prevention
- Department of Health & Human Services
- Department of Defense
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Energy
- Department of Veteran Affairs
Although people have their reservations about the Vaccine (including Kamala Harris, even though she is not a Doctor, and Donald Trump isn’t either), this came from the “experts” as we are told, so personally, I think it is a step in the right direction, They say it is 90% effective. I just have a few questions.. I know these two situations were from different times, but why didn’t they do the same with the Aids epidemic? Did we need someone like President Trump in the 1980s?? Russia already has a vaccine ready and human testing has started, Covid-19 hasn’t killed nearly half the people Aids killed, and yet look at the speed at which Vaccines were produced something worth thinking about.
