Trump Supporters Know Where to Turn in a Crisis: To Him

They’re confident, for perhaps the first time in his presidency, that the experts on call aren’t out to sabotage the president.

...“I feel like sometimes the decisions he makes are for his voters, and now it’s about what’s best for the American people,” Ms. Aistrop said. “I think he’s really looking to our government agencies to take the lead on this, he’s listening to them on what to do, and his No. 1 goal is to keep us safe.”

Three service personnel from the US-led coalition in Iraq and two Iraqis have been injured in a rocket attack on a military base north of Baghdad, the coalition has said.

The Iraqi military said more than 30 rockets were fired at Camp Taji base.

This is the second attack this week on the base. On Wednesday, rockets killed two American troops and one British soldier there.

The US responded with air strikes targeting an Iranian-backed militia.

However, Iraqi officials say that Iraqi soldiers and policemen were killed in the strikes.

The Iraqi military says the latest attack on Taji must not be used by the US as a pretext for any action without Iraq's approval.

According to a media report, a diplomatic dispute over a vaccine is looming between Germany and the USA.

But when your neighbours, friends and relatives start to fall seriously ill or die.

On Sunday, however, the head of CureVac's biggest investor said that an exclusive contract with the US was out of the question.

"We want to develop a vaccine for the whole world and not individual countries," the chief executive of dievini Hopp Bio Tech Holding, Christof Hettich, told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper

The company hopes to have an experimental vaccine developed by June or July, and then to get approval for testing on people. The research into several possible vaccines had begun and the two most promising would be chosen for clinical tests, CureVac co-founder and chief production officer Florian von der Mülbe told Reuters on Friday.

On March 2, CureVac's then-CEO Daniel Menichella attended a meeting at the White House to discuss coronavirus vaccine development with Trump and members of his coronavirus taskforce.

On March 11, the company announced Menichella would be replaced by company founder Ingmar Hoerr, without giving a reason why.

When is that going to happen?

Meanwhile, the report has been confirmed - a spokeswoman for the German Federal Health Ministry said: "We confirm the report in the Welt am Sonntag."

Karl Lauterbach, a professor of health economics and epidemiology who is also a senior lawmaker with the Social Democrats, junior partner in the federal coalition government, tweeted in reaction to the Welt am Sonntag report: "The exclusive sale of a possible vaccine to the USA must be prevented by all means. Capitalism has limits."

I have no idea when it will happen at yours.

Who could even imagine this idea is possible?

We’re Paying The Price For The Death Of Journalism

This cheerleading is fine if the story is about politics, but this isn’t about politics, this is about life and death. Coronavirus is a serious threat, but only to a very small segment of the population. Hyping or downplaying it is profoundly unhelpful when honesty is needed. But there isn’t anyone trusted across the board in media to convey truthful information.

So you get manufactured panic and runs on toilet paper; supermarkets have empty shelves and fights break out over a lack of basics.


Media Democrats hype death totals without providing important perspective, perpetuating panic because it’s good for ratings and their party. More people are in danger from the panic being incited by pundits, politicians, and journalists than they are from coronavirus. You’d never know that if you turned on your TV.

But ask yourself an important question: if coronavirus is the threat they portray it as, why are liberals engaging in an argument over semantics?

If lives are at risk, why has every major left-wing news outlet wasted crucial time focusing on how they’ve declared calling it the “Chinese coronavirus” or the “Wuhan virus” to be racist and a threat to social order? Especially after they’d spent weeks calling it those very things, only declaring it problematic after a couple of Republicans followed their lead and called it the same thing.

It’s outrageous that this medicine could be withheld for maximum profit,...but then this coronavirus problem points immediately to the present day to day perverted system in the USA.
