Re: Eric Topol on vaccines and the election

You should understand that there are many companies working on a vaccine in the U.S., and even more around the world. If anything is unprovable, it's that Trump is "conspiring" with one of these companies to rush something to market before its time.

You understand that, even if they claim a vaccine is ready, it will still be a long time before enough of it is produced and distributed to have any effect, right? Given that, an announcement could be made that the vaccine is complete even if it isn't, if the goal is to influence the election.

When an antidote was being worked on for the AIDS virus, the organization ACT UP fought to have drugs fast-tracked through the FDA's approval process, and many of them volunteered to have the drugs tested on them, because people were dying, and they cared.

Something I don't understand is how people on a Marxism list toe the Democratic Party line so faithfully. Not like the donut Democrats, or the red-rose Democrats, but like satellites that never leave their orbit. Once Topol (in this case) veers from presenting evidence to making political calculations, he becomes just another Democrat partisan. 

As far as sock puppets are concerned, if you cannot address the ideas in a post, then don't. Organizations fall apart when people like "fkalosar101" start making unfounded accusations about the members. "Agent provocateur" was an effective one, in the past.
