The Lancet blasts Trump, says voters should not reelect him

Source: The Hill

The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, on Friday ripped President Trump’s “inconsistent and incoherent national response” to the coronavirus pandemic, saying in an unsigned editorial that voters should ensure he does not get a second term.

“Americans must put a president in the White House come January, 2021, who will understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics," wrote the peer-reviewed journal founded in 1823.

The editorial was focused on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the need to revive it from damage during the Trump administration.

“There is no doubt that the CDC has made mistakes, especially on testing in the early stages of the pandemic,” reads the editorial. “But punishing the agency by marginalising and hobbling it is not the solution.”

you know, the vaccine development that is months too late after Trump dragged his feet for 4 months and still is doing half measures.

It's Big Brother. Everything is the opposite of what he says and the public is supposed to believe it. Who is behind him pushing this nonsense that is tearing down the United States of America?

I still wonder if it's Nazi redux, friendlier fascism.

Operation Wishful Thinking!

"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"

Every respectable journal of every field ought to. We need to get the middle if at all possible this time more than any other. It shouldn’t be an uphill battle anywhere except for fundies and magats. Thinking people should be easy votes.

Compare to
