Your original question was:
Even though I never made any comment about what he announced or didn't announce.

No, I don't, the vaccine was always a good idea and while the term "warp speed" was overblown and propagandistic, I even think it was appropriate. The problem was that Trumps statement's about the pandemic and medical science were so ludicrous, that that if they were not countered at the time, they were setting us up for where we are now. Trump's comments about Bleach and UV light and unevidenced claims about chloroqine etc. were far worse than the gaffes that politicians make, they showed a genuine disinterest and lack of understanding of the problem at hand.

lol, k, whatever you say buddy. How much more mainstream can you get when you're frequently getting as many viewers as your two biggest competitors combined?

Well, I'm glad you guys no longer are calling Fox News a fringe source. What changed your mind?

This. I was extremely skeptical of Trump's talk about the vaccine. I thought there was a good chance that he'd apply political pressure to push through the approval when it wouldn't be effective - just to score political points. But when it was ready to go, all the data showed it was a safe, effective vaccine. IIRC, by the day of the election I was good with taking it.

"Inaccurate" and "dishonest" != "fringe." I've never called them a fringe source, nor can I recall anybody else doing so. IME, it's primarily their own fanbase who refer to them as outside the mainstream.

People were saying that he wasn't to be trusted. With very good reasons. But they would trust the health experts. Which most of us are doing. I hope you didn't try the bleach remedy.
