two things i learned in today's news:

[rae121452]

the new supposed vaccine for covid is being tested at 5 military installations on troops.

okay...who usually comprises the enlisted?

and, when the vaccine is approved, it will be given priority of use to the most highly susceptible-black and brown people. not to be cynical but do you think that could possibly be because that way, if the vaccine causes you to dissolve into a puddle of slime in 6 weeks of grow two heads...damage control? to say nothing of those future babies with gills.

i guess the best hope minorities have under trump is that they'll get one of the cages with a hamster wheel.

I'm sure everybody is getting that same uneasy feeling that Trump co. is cutting corners for political purposes and that they wouldn't be above using the military and the minority population as Guinea pigs for a radically accelerated vaccine rollout.

Of course if justifiably skeptical people refuse to take the vaccine until someone like Dr. Fauci or some other contagious disease authority recommends it, Trump co. will claim that they're refusing the vaccine for political reasons.

They really have no bottom.

As a side note: Testing on young people in the military is not a good way to verify a vaccine because they are the most resistant to side effects.

If Trump co. uses the results from the military trials as justification to rollout the vaccine, you can count me out as a willing volunteer to get the shot.
