I don't need to watch it - I've seen all of the various reasons. Like people ignoring his racism, because other things about him suit their own beliefs.

Nothing - absolutely nothing that you or anyone else links to - will convince me, after what I've witnessed from him for the past five years.

There are people who will never understand Trump's message to Americans.

He beat their little Queen of Corruption, Hillary The Corrupt and that's plenty of reason to hate Trump. We really dodged a bullet. By now, Hillary The Corrupt would have been well on her way to corrupting or destroying the rest of America's institutions that the Marxist Messiah, Obama missed.

That was a great speech by Trump and went a long way towards getting him elected..and for all the right reasons.

The speech got me crying, it reminded me of how much is at stake and how much he is trying to do.

Why these people won’t be voting for trump again: http://time.com/5829244/trump-voters-coronavirus-2020/?amp=true&__twitter_impression=true

I wish you’d kept your mass hysteria thread away from covid. I knew it was created for that purpose, but it’s still disappointing.

See what I mean hypatia?

If President Trump turned water into wine and walked on water, leftist would snivel that he polluted the water with his 'dirty feet'.

These people despise America and looked forward to Hillary The Corrupt taking America down. They'll never forgive Trump for defeating the Queen of Corruption nor will they forgive those who voted for 'America First' Trump.

They'll get what they deserve on November 3rd.

Dictator? He encourages people to protest and fight for their rights and does not want to force people to stay at home and is not taking away their basic rights to earn a living and or people's freedom but he is dictator?

The left does not understand what a dictator is at all. It seems the left wanted him to be more of a dictator in how he handled this.

He is very far from a dictator.

You know these protesters are small, compared to the number of people that want to be careful, right?

I don’t appreciate your minimizing my own concerns, because you’re ready to have some fun. I like building bridges, and maintaining them. I’m not “negative” and something to be ignored, because you disagree with me. It’s difficult to avoid talking about things in partisan terms in the astrology forum, when a few people bring corona into more than one thread, and push their own agendas. Then because hardly anyone else speaks up, I’m negative or should leave it alone, to keep the peace. No.

I know you care, otherwise you wouldn’t have been so upset a few months ago. I consider you a friend, and to just be shoved aside as “negative” because you worship trump, and dismissed elsewhere, that doesn’t build bridges.

So? I’ve seen enough over five years. What could possibly convince me to love him now?

Let the eye twitching commence.

I am sick of playing the left and right game. Behind this game is a single body perceiving our reactions. Using us as scape goats so that they can plan ahead what is best for the country and the world. I am surprised, American's didn't get this yet. Most don't. Ask your heart for truth and balance out your mind. Pay attention to headlines , pictures, graffiti , etc when you read the media. Validate everything. Conservatives are yesterday's liberals and liberals yesterday's communists.
This body /entity has been disclosing to you in advance their intent in the shape of movies especially science fiction. Be alert

“We” don’t think all voters are evil and racist. Also, not sure we care so much about understanding why you elected him; more so about why we wouldn’t have (as much as you’re not interested in why we wouldn’t… classic fundamental disagreement stuff). Actually, we only think a small portion of those are racist, those who are honest about their vote, the most honest being those who are rich and will actually benefit from the policies’ racism and cruelty.
The bulk of it…? We think what’s wrong with America is that it’s based on the idea the value of its people is exclusively determined by their ability to generate wealth and this leads to all manners of inhumane decisions because when people cease being able to produce wealth (health, old age, any form of social impairment…), or just lose some of their ability, they lose value in your eyes and can die without you, as a part of society, feeling any responsibility about it (though not before they have first lost everything, then came back stronger and richer, then ended up living out of a car boot on a Walmart car park again… US loves drama too). Even as you pretend to defend them protesting against lockdown because you want them to work so they can get food, what truly is going on is a morality issue where you’d rather have them die producing, creating wealth, than share your food with them, not indefinitely, just until the death threat has gone (as we know food is sorely lacking in America, with a solid third of the people being severely underweight), this is what the posters were about anyway “free or dead”. The thing is “free” is not the right word when someone “has to“ risk their life for food, but not going into that, I’m old enough to know explaining that to a pure capitalistic state spawn such as an American thinking person is the embodiment of the playing chess with a pigeon analogy.
People who love capitalism are stuck in that honey moon phase where they think it farts glitters, if only they could realise, it does, except when it touches health, education and other sectors it’s simply not suited for, and then it farts death. Anyway.
We actually do research, watch lots of actual documentaries, not your fox news tosh that can’t place a European capital in the right region of a country to save its life, actual documentaries where the people are allowed to speak their truth for unedited lengths of times and the journalist didn’t direct their answers or added a manipulative voice over or headlines.
It’s a small example that proves nothing, but it’s a nice little illustration: some of those have moved me to tears. Like that Woman, who had to travel for miles to get to a gymnasium to receive free health care. She slept the night outside with her daughter and baby granddaughter (they all survive thanks to social aid despite working, I know, I know, that toddler is awfully unamerican for having the nerve to cost money while not bringing in any). After a night of sleeping like a dog, when the journalist asks: “why did you come all this way?”, she gives that perfect, frozen American smile just saying “Have to” (funny, that same expression again that’s quite antithetic to the notion of freedom “have to”…)
The despair in her teary eyes as she keeps that mouth only smile going is one of the most painful things I’ve seen (and I imagine the pain she’s coming to treat was no stranger to the pain she exuded). Later she explains that she voted for a president she believes in, she explains how right he is, that it’s not his fault there are no jobs, that employment is actually faring better since he has been elected, and that she believes in the American dream; that if one wants and works hard enough, it does pay, that you can make it. Yet she works full time, her daughter either works or takes care of her baby (which financially amounts to the same in this case), and yet they all depend on social aid for food (similar families are shown to live the same, depending on free food trucks that deliver daily in their town to feed their children) because none of their hard work pays enough for 2 1/2 people to simply live in a small one bedroom flat in bumblefuck nowhere (we’re not talking holidays, big NYC flat or fancy car here, just basic food on the table).
Again, just a little illustration, but globally, we think once you’ve excluded the rabid businessmen who voted for their pal just because it was convenient for them, and once you’ve taken out the racist too, most of them already being present in the first category I’ve given; this woman represents the bulk of voters. We don’t think she’s racist, nothing points to that, we don’t think she’s bad, she’s hardworking, she has dreams, heck, there’s nothing I’ve seen from her that would make me question her choices based on her character and given how positive and hardworking she is, I imagine I’d greatly enjoy breaking bread with her.
But she’s weak financially, psychologically, she’s hanging on to a system that’s destroying her, her belief in the dream has exactly zero connection with the facts that constitute her reality and the policies she votes for do nothing for her (she’s receiving the last of her social aid checks as she’s being cut off by the very administration she voted for). I’d like to say, it’s ok, she’ll find a job, but she already has one and does everything she can, she’s looking for better, she still hasn’t found it all these years, though oh boy does she try).
We usually take people like her as an example of the voters instead of getting all riled up over KKK cliches, and, as a result, most of us think you’re rather delusional, specifically short-sighted and indoctrinated, possibly very selfish, although that one is minor because you can’t blame short-sighted people for not seeing past their own reality, right?. As you see racists are not on the main list and just a small portion of all reasons, most of you we think are sheep. Lambs actually, poor sad lambs, faithfully walking to the slaughterhouse; not all of you though, lots of you still are the lucky ones who’ll escape the wagon (statistics), but this will only make the righteous herd sensation stronger as nothing gets the human ego a power trip like escaping bad stuff out of luck or pre-existing settings, all the while thinking it was your decisions that saved you.
So please next time you want to educate us, educate yourself first and try to understand why your enlightened choice is unacceptable to us. You wish it were because we’re stupid and like to brand names and are doing that gross thing where we pick one indisputably reprehensible thing such as racism and apply it to all who voted so we don’t have to think or dig deeper, because we’re shallow and, again, stupid. But this is what you do when you put us all in a sack that rejects a politician because of one idea. When it comes to our judgment, it’s not what we do.
We have given this as much thought as you have, we are as smart and educated as you are, we simply disagree.
Wholeheartedly, from the bottom of our souls, and until our dying breaths. We are as determined and convinced as you are that what we believe in is right and what you believe is wrong and as long as you don’t get that, you’ll keep on thinking we think you’re all racists and it’ll actually give us plenty of hope that it is the same faulty reasoning that led you to your beliefs and one day you might change.
But then again, most of us, we… is just a part of us, because “us” here doesn’t mean a political party or nation or skin colour (and again, I can see for your argumentation how that would be VERY handy, it just isn’t.), it actually means nothing as there are no few categories of people who don’t support the man you voted for, just a whole lot of people, including half of America. Mortal enemies agree on disagreeing with your champion. How about you think about that? No, wait. You won’t, you don’t need to think, you have already thought and decided and voted; you want to tell us to think so we feel we haven’t and end up giving in and agreeing. Nice try.

There's something utterly evil about Socialists. Willing to politicize a national emergency and kill Americans to win an election. "Never let a crisis go to waste".

These people need psychiatric intervention.

Democrats Will Sacrifice Americans to Win the Presidency
William L. Gensert


We were first told we must “flatten the curve.” Then, as the curve flattened, they explained we needed to “test everyone.” That gave away the game. America is a nation of 330 million citizens victimized by the Chinese plague. To acquiesce to the new rules, each person would need to be tested not once, but probably at least twice or even three times. To accomplish this monumental task, we would need at least a billion tests. The amount of time necessary to produce, execute, and evaluate each test is not only incalculable, but unfathomable.

If that is to be the criteria, we will never reopen.

The census takes years to complete when all that is required are answers to a few questions. Or, as an alternative, grab a keyboard and time how long it takes to press the “space” key 1 billion times.

You see, the Democrat goal is to reopen not one day before November 3, 2020.

You know, Election Day.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you need examples, just look at Newsom, Whitmer, and Mills. No, they are not a trio of serial killers from the 1940s or a law firm hired by the Clinton campaign to set up Donald Trump. Nothing so glamorous -- they are the United States governors of California, Michigan, and Maine, respectively. All three are in good standing with their party (D) and the media -- and they have each succumbed to the maddening allure of their inner Stalin, demonically pursuing dreams of total control.

They are not the only ones. There is also Andrew Cuomo (D), New York State. He jumped into the national spotlight derby when he talked about his dear senescent mother and how America had to shut down because people like her were at risk. It was deft use of the airwaves to launch his bid to replace Biden.

Then he ordered nursing homes in New York State to accept COVID-19 infected patients, putting the most vulnerable of our populace at risk -- to expected results.

This is how he killed other people’s mothers.

It is as if each state is trapped in a dystopian version of It’s a Wonderful Life where everywhere reigns a Mr. Potter trying to force us into Pottersville so we can be controlled and ruled. Forget Clarence, we are all George Bailey now.

It is not just our elected betters who have assumed the mantle of tyrannical ways and means detrimental to our well-being, or at least, thoroughly disconnected from rationality and any pretense of fairness.

Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook have all decided to restrict what the average man can and cannot hear or read. Control of information is the bailiwick of dictators. This particular Chinese bat zoonosis has fostered the worst millenarian instincts in our Democrat governors and social media. The latent tendencies were always there; all that was needed was a good crisis that they would not let go to waste.

It is elitism at its worst -- because once we have been convinced that rule by the elite is necessary, it is a small step of minimal social distance, eagerly enforced, for them to acknowledge publicly to us plebes, that it is they who are the elite -- and they should rule.

After all, they are the ones we have been waiting for.

Newsom, Whitmer, Mills, Cuomo, and Pritzker, as well as Lightfoot, De Blasio, et al., want to be seen as duly elected legitimate leaders exercising the will of the people -- for their own good.

Yet, let’s face it, these little dictators, when they look in the mirror at night (after they have finished asking, “Are you talking to me?”), they see themselves as president. And not just any president -- one drafted by a terrified populace with the understanding that survival depends upon their sage wisdom, astounding brilliance, and unequal bravery.

Like Obama, they long to be Lincoln, FDR, Wilson, and George Washington all rolled into one. Yet they cannot avoid their innate tendencies to rule rather than lead -- to remind us little people, the smelly deplorables who are darn lucky to have them, to shut up and do as we are told.

Are they leaders or tyrants? Certainly, they are not leaders. But are they despots? One is reminded of Archie Bunker’s definition of a “hermaphrodite”: “too much of both and not enough of either.”

What they are is “company men,” doing their best to make sure America does not reopen one day earlier than November 3, 2020. They know what gets them paid, and they know they need to steal the presidency from a Donald Trump, who will not play their game. To gain the executive office, they must ruin the economy and bring misery, destruction and even death to as many Americans as is within their power to do so.

If people must suffer, if people must die, well then, it will be for a good cause: the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.

For Democrats, while the loss of one American life is a tragedy, the sacrifice of millions is an opportunity.

And Democrats, bless their hearts, never let an opportunity go to waste.

Let me answer your question for you:
"Why don't I hate Donald Trump"?

Because you're a logical, rational, reasonable American, unlike the uninformed, irrational, emotion driven 'headline reading' leftist lunatic brigade who would get more truth from Bugs Bunny cartoons than they get from the lying leftist droolers of the MSM.

Why Don't I Hate Donald Trump?
Peter Darrow


Why do you not like Donald Trump? I asked my brother. "Because he is a d---" was his reply. Such a deep, meaningful answer!

I had never been a political person. To be honest, politics bored me. In any debates, I always took the middle option as I did not have the knowledge and experience to express an opinion. It was not until Trump began his campaign that I started to investigate whether I was right- or left-wing.

Why I never felt the same way as my brother is a question I have often asked myself. Prior to his campaigning and his presidency, I never felt any hatred for the man. Having an interest in property, I read his books and enjoyed watching The Apprentice, and not once did I feel any animosity. Trump was such an admired figure by many businesspeople, celebrities, and politicians prior to his announcement that he was running for president. Yes, he had his detractors, but there was none of the vile hatred you see today.

For some reason, I was extremely hopeful that Trump would run for president when the rumors were flying around that he would do so. Maybe it was instinctive that the world needed a change. When Obama was elected, I was a fan, and there was a great sense of hope that he would achieve great things. Oh, how disappointed we all were!

After his initial dress rehearsals, Trump announced on June 16, 2015 that he would be running for the presidency of the United States.

When Trump was campaigning, I had the realization that I harbored no feelings of hatred toward the man, as did most people I knew. Even with his "grab them by the..." comment from many years previously, I did not see it as a negative in how he would perform as president. It pays to look at the big picture as to how someone will perform in his job. Is it better to have a weak leader who underperforms but is squeaky-clean or a strong leader who brings results but has been known to transgress the rules occasionally?

People knew what Donald Trump was like and also knew he would deliver results and set a vision for the United States. The haters could not see past the small issues and did not see him as fit to run for office. I wonder if these people treated others in their lives the same — one mistake, and you are out! Trump's supporters forgave him for his indiscretions, as they knew he would bring attention and support to their lives.

So I could not find anything major to hate. Sure, the hairstyle wasn't great, and I did cringe occasionally when he spoke! But he is not a polished politician like Obama, and that is why people were drawn to him. He knew where his supporter base was and what they needed.

The thinker and analyst in me began to research why people liked or disliked Donald Trump. The haters seemed to have a superficial hatred toward him, focusing on micro-details, and were more inclined to follow what others were saying. Their thinking was based on whether they liked him rather than what skills and experience he could bring to the job. "It's what people think about him that is important, rather than if what he says is the truth" was one comment I heard! They follow the narrative rather than digging a little deeper to find out the facts. These people are heavily influenced by what the left-wing media have told them. And they are more concerned with how they are thought of by friends and family and do not want to stand out in the crowd.

I did believe I was a progressive type of person, open to change with liberal ideas, therefore probably being more left than right. I did some tests that asked questions as to my beliefs and what was important to me. Well, to my surprise, the results of tests and research showed that I was probably more conservative and therefore a Trump-supporter. I responded to issues analytically rather than emotionally and used facts in searching for the truth.

This research led me to support Trump even more, and I became more vocal about my support for him — much to the detriment of my personal relationships with family and friends. I posted various messages of support for Trump on Facebook and was met with stony silence or hateful comments. Not many others were showing their support for Trump in my circle, but there were other groups who did, so I joined them. It was gratifying to know I was not the only one with non-hatred for Donald Trump. It was good to share common thoughts.

As I became more confident with my support for Trump, I left these groups and started my own Facebook group called "Talking Politics and Issues." It seemed the logical step to expressing my own views and thoughts on Trump and the differences between the left and right wings.

From being reluctant to express my views on politics to being the admin to over 200 people has been a great change. To discover the right-wing, conservative side has been a journey to discovering the truth and what is really going on in the world. The biggest eye-opener has been the discovery of the biased left-wing media, which regularly brainwash people to believe in their agenda. The media have become a platform for left-wing groups and politicians to transport their messages to a gullible public. Celebrities are also used in this plot to transmit their messages.

From believing everything I saw or read to now questioning everything has been gratifying.

Donald Trump was the instigator for me to investigate what side of politics I truly stood on and what I believed in. If not for him, I would probably still consider myself a progressive liberal and believe in the left-wing media. He has provided a platform from which I can now express myself, which is especially important to me. I am now an independent thinker not prone to just following everyone else's views. I invite the other self-identified progressive liberals out there to try it themselves sometime! I have a lot to thank Trump for.

Pull your head out. You don't know what you're talking about.

Protesters aren't politicizing coronavirus. They protesting the unconstitutional edicts of Governors, Mayors and City Councils.

President Trump isn't politicizing coronavirus. He's doing an exemplary job of running the federal government response to the national emergency.

I don't know what you're talking about with your conspiracy theorists. The coronavirus pandemic started in a level 4 bio-warfare lab in Wuhan China and spread all over the world because the Communist Chinese government didn't contain the virus in Wuhan China. They lied about the human to human transmissibility of coronavirus and twisted the World Health Organization's arm to spread that lie.

Democrats have done nothing but politicize the pandemic

Perhaps you don't know what 'politicize' means. Invest in a dictionary.

Top Ten Times Democrats, Media Have Politicized Coronavirus
by Kristina Wong
2 Mar 2020

Democrats over the past week have attacked the president's handling of the coronavirus in political advertisements and mischaracterize the president's statements.

In addition, some members of the media have suggested Trump is to blame for the coronavirus, also mischaracterized his statements, and attacked him or his allies for criticizing Democrats for playing politics.

Here are the top ten examples of those attacks and mischaracterizations:

New York Times Op-Ed Calls Coronavirus the Trumpvirus

1. New York Times columnist Gail Collins on February 26, 2020, linked President Trump to the coronavirus in an op-ed piece titled, Let's Call It Trumpvirus. If you're feeling awful, you know who to blame, the sub-headline read.

Collins wrote that Trump blamed the recent stock market slide on Democrats performance at the last debate and suggested he thought the coronavirus was not necessarily a big deal.

However, what Trump said was that he thought statement(s) from the Democrat candidates has a huge effect. Asked whether the coronavirus also played a role, he said, Oh I think it did, I think it did.

Bloomberg Makes Coronavirus into a Campaign Advertisement

2. Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg on Saturday evening aired a campaign advertisement on the spread of the coronavirus and its economic effects. He said in the ad:

I know this has been a worrisome week for many Americans. The coronavirus is spreading and the economy is taking a hit. Markets have fallen because of uncertainty. At times like this it's the job of the president to reassure the public that he or she is taking all the necessary steps to protect the health and wellbeing of every citizen.

He did not mention any of the steps President Trump has taken, including issuing a travel ban from affected areas on January 31, 2020, which health leaders are saying bought the United States time to react to the virus. NPR published a report headlined Trump Administration Issues Drastic Travel Restrictions, before editing it.

Politico: Trump Rallies Base to Treat Coronavirus as a Hoax

3. Some media outlets also published reports that implied President Trump had called the coronavirus a hoax during a rally in South Carolina on Friday. Politico published an article titled, Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a hoax.

Politico claimed: President Donald Trump on Friday night tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation.

Trump had called Democrats criticism about his handling of the coronavirus a hoax, not the coronavirus itself. He clarified that himself during a White House press briefing on Saturday.

Hoax referring to the action that they take to try and pin this on somebody, because we've done such a good job. The hoax is on them, not I. I'm not talking about what's happening here; I'm talking what they're doing. That's the hoax, Trump said.

Despite Trump's clarification, reporters and Democrats continued to claim Trump was referring to the coronavirus as a hoax.

The Times' Edward Wong said on CBS News on Sunday that the administration is grappling with transparency. He said, You saw president Trump come out and say it was a new hoax, adding there was valid criticism of his remark.

Bloomberg tried to get away with it on Sunday, too, but was corrected by CBS News's Scott Pelley. Bloomberg ignored his correction.

Michael Bloomberg repeated the false claim that President Trump referred to the coronavirus as a "hoax."

Democrat Presidential Candidates Criticize Trump over Coronavirus

4. Last Tuesday during the Democrat debate, candidates took turns criticizing Trump over the coronavirus. According to the Times Neil Vigdor:

With the Dow Jones industrial average suffering its worst two-day loss in history on fears of the spread of the novel coronavirus, the Democratic presidential contenders on Tuesday night tried to turn the tables on President Trump in an area long perceived as one of his strengths: the economy.

They characterized the Trump administration's response to the outbreak as chaotic and misinformed during a Democratic primary debate in South Carolina.

Bloomberg and Biden Falsely Claim Trump Has Cut CDC Funding

5. During the debate, Bloomberg and fellow Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden falsely claimed that Trump has cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control, according to the Associated Press.

Bloomberg said about Trump, He's defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don't have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing. Biden said, We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. He's wiped all that out. He cut the funding for the entire effort.

However, as the AP reported, They're both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. According to the AP:

He's proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren't suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.

NYT Op-ed: Trump Makes Us Ill

6. Times columnist Maureen Dowd penned an op-ed titled, Trump Makes Us Ill that criticizes the president and his allies for criticizing Democrats for criticizing him and scaremongering over the coronavirus. She also raised the prospect of a stock market crash and the election of a real populist promising Medicare for All. That would be a very Trumpian arc indeed, she wrote.

CNN's Jake Tapper Criticizes Don Trump Jr. for Criticizing Democrats Politicizing Coronavirus

7. Along the same lines as Dowd, CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview with Vice President Mike Pence criticized the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., for criticizing Democrats for seemingly wanting the coronavirus to kill Americans and hurt Trump.

It seems like very extreme rhetoric, Tapper said of Trump Jr.

Garamendi Threatens Trump Jr. for Criticizing Democrats Politicizing Coronavirus

8. Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) warned in an MSNBC interview that Trump Jr. should not say that near him or there would be a serious altercation.

Here are Democrat Rep. John Garamendi's threatening remarks about @DonaldJTrumpJr: He shouldn't be near. There would be a serious altercation. Don Jr. better not get any place close to me. It would not be a healthy situation.

Biden Spreads Debunked Claim CDC's Anthony Fauci Is Being Muzzled

9. Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden on Sunday continued to spread the debunked story by the Times saying the National Institute of Health's Anthony Fauci was being muzzled, after Fauci himself said at a press conference he was not.

Fauci said Saturday: Let me clarify: I've never been muzzled ever and I've been doing this since the administration of Reagan. I'm not being muzzled by this administration.

But Biden claimed the administration was muzzling the scientist. Mr. Fauci's been here, and, anyway... he said, trailing off.

Joe Biden just touted the debunked talking point that President Trump had muzzled Doctor Fauci form discussing the coronavirus.

This is what Fauci had to say about that claim yesterday:

"I've never been muzzled ever and I've been doing this since Reagan."

House Democrats Make Ad Attacking Trump over the Coronavirus

10. House Democrats are planning to run a digital ad campaign targeting the Trump administration over the coronavirus, ABC News reported on Monday:

Amid heightened concerns from Democrats over the Trump administration's handling of the novel coronavirus, House Democrats are investing in a new digital ad campaign targeting Republicans in key districts ahead of the highly-anticipated general election the latest move in an ongoing political fight over the outbreak.

In the ads, which will appear on Facebook in both English and Spanish, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) takes aim at Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar over his recent comments about the affordability of vaccines for the virus.
