Latest trend is promising.

No need to take the vaccine then, since cases are trending downward now. I'll just wait for herd immunity like we did with the flu. 

The vaccine is one of the REASONS cases are trending down.   You're just trolling for the sake of trolling now.

Is it really? Have you heard about the UK Variant that is supposed to "sweep the world" yet?

I'm hearing that our new vaccines are all but useless against these foreign variants. Is it possible to troll a troll?

According to those graphs, the decline began during the Trump Administration. When are you people going to start giving our former President the credit that he deserves? The vaccine that you are taking was developed on his watch.

Pfizer already did that.

Pfizer has clarified that it was never part of Operation Warp Speed, despite attempts by Trump and Pence to take credit for its promising vaccine

When Pfizer announced yesterday that early results from large-scale clinical trials showed its coronavirus vaccine could be more than 90 percent effective, the entire world felt a little more optimistic. The novel coronavirus has sickened more than 50 million people globally, and killed over a million — nearly 240,000 in the U.S. alone. Now, this should come as a surprise to no one, but Donald Trump and Mike Pence pretty immediately jumped on that good news, and tried to claim credit for the vaccine by implying it was part of Operation Warp Speed, the government initiative that's funneled federal funding to pharmaceutical companies to help them speed their vaccine development timelines.

Now, though, Pfizer execs are clarifying: Their company has never taken federal money (or any other outside funding) to help with its vaccine development, as part of Operation Warp Speed or any other program.

Following the initial news announcement from Pfizer, Vice President Pence tweeted that it was "HUGE NEWS" and "thanks to the public-private partnership forged by [Trump]."

But let's not forget that since you don't think the virus is a problem and that the vaccine is needed anyway, then even if he did have anything to do with its development, then trump wouldn't have really achieved anything. And I do comprehend what I am reading, I am just reminding you that anyone who quotes CNN has zero credibility.

Zelmo is what the far right calls anyone that disagrees with there babbling BS a snowflake.
Not really sure what that name is derived from, but I think it means entitled whiner.

Personally- I like snowflakes. They're beautiful and you can make cookies shaped like them!

I'll give him credit. Prioritizing the vaccine was the one thing he did right. Bizarrely, Trump's strongest supporters also seem to be the vaccine's biggest skeptics.

^ It happened despite him. He wouldn't wear a mask.
Herman Cain died from Covid after a rally in Texas. Trump said nothing.
The guy did very little and had no plan.
If you roll the dice and take your chances with your own life- ok. I've gambled my personal health by drugs and booze.
But I don't gamble on others lives. It's just selfish and wrong.
I wear a mask. I'll get the shot. Tiana already got both her shots. She works at an assisted living place in Mattawn, Michigan. Short staffed because half the staff are laid of because they refused the shot and got covid. 5 old folks died. They have to wear suits and face masks She does this every day.
Zelmo- I don't know WTF your doing up there in Alaska- but you need at some time to connect with the rest of the world.

Anyone who uses CNN as their sole source of info has zero credibility. You should try broadening your news horizons a bit. You're acting like Pfizer has the only vaccine out there.

...

For a guy that had no plan, Trump sure got your vaccines rolled out for you in a hurry, didn't he? Sleepy Joe would have met his "100 million vaccinations in 100 days" campaign promise 2 weeks ago if he had simply left Trump's COVID Vaccine Plan alone instead of trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

So you are changing what you said before to suit what you are doing now.

Oh and still wondering what it is you think we should give trump credit for. I mean if as you say, getting the vaccination is pointless, then the only thing he could have done is waste taxpayers money on getting it out there. Is that really what you want him to be known for? I mean being taken in by "snake-oil peddlers" is hardly an epitaph for the ages.

Another thing to remember is when you refer to your new president as Sleepy Joe, just remember that is the guy trump failed to beat. If he really is that sleepy, then it doesn't paint your candidate in a great light when he failed to defeat him. There is a reason the Roman's used to praise their conquered enemies.

[Rev. Powell]

We have to punish China for releasing this virus which is no worse than the flu that Trump cured with his vaccine that I refuse to take! (I borrowed this from someone else's FB post, but it's perfect).
