The FDA put a brief pause on the Johnson and Johnson vaccine today over concerns about extremely rare blood clots. This is our government at its best. It reviewed scientific literature, saw indications of a problem, and asked to have things put on hold briefly while the issue is studied to determine whether there is a slight danger.

There are many other vaccines available, so what’s the problem?

Ask Donald Trump, because he found a problem and, believe it or not, it relates back to him. First, Dr. Trump took it upon himself to tell the world that the doctors in the United States government made the wrong decision. Some quotes from Rawstory:

The Biden administration “did a terrible disservice to people throughout the world” in calling for the pause, adding that doing so would cause the “reputation” of the vaccine to be “permanently damaged.”

Wrong, jackass. The one way to ensure that the “reputation” of the vaccine is “permanently damaged” is to have it continue to cause blood clots in what appear to be random people. A momentary pause might find something linking the type of people susceptible to the side effect with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. It also reinforces people’s faith in knowing that if the government detects any dangers, the government will be open about it and do the right thing.

Then Trump made it about himself:

“The people who have already taken the vaccine will be up in arms, and perhaps all of this was done for politics or perhaps it’s the FDA’s love for Pfizer.” 

Trump is furious at Pfizer because they did not announce their vaccine prior to the election and Trump will hate them for it until the end of time. Trump then took credit for the very existence of vaccines:

They didn’t like me very much because I pushed them extremely hard. But if I didn’t, you wouldn’t have a vaccine for 3-5 years, or maybe not at all. It takes them years to act! Do your testing, clean up the record, and get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine back online quickly.

Right. Without Trump, it would have taken 3-5 years to get a vaccine. The rest of the world would have had a vaccine in November of 2020 because all these companies are all multinationals (Pfizer worked with BioNTech, a German company to create the vaccine) and the vaccine appeared in every country at about the same time. But Trump alone is responsible for the vaccines. Just ask him.

Amazing. The CDC makes a decision that was purely science-based and Trump not only knows better than the CDC but takes credit for the vaccines in the first place. Additionally, this is about pushing the Pfizer vaccine because Pfizer hates him. This entire event is all about him.

Peace, y’all
