11/22/20 Who Is Leading The Vaccine Charge?

     Idiots like to say that America is not so great or that other countries are better than us at this or that, but when shit hits the fan and the world huddles into a scared little mass, who does everyone look to?  America, Fuck Yeah!  Whether it's storming the beaches of Normandy to stamp out communism or to solve a world pandemic, this is what makes this country great.  Americans build and we solve problems.  Antagonists want to say this country is unjust and not all people get a fair shake.  Tough titty, but those that want it, find a way to make it happen.  

    I just looked at the top ten or so companies working on vaccines for Covid-19 and 6 or so of them are American, 1-2 are British, 3 are Chinese , 1 is Russian, and 1 German.  Where are the contributions from the rest of the world?  Denmark and Sweden are so great, where is their work?  Brazil, number 1 in shaking that ass, where are their patents or anything?  Rest of South America?  Africa?  Middle East?  Yeah, but don't worry, as soon as we put Covid-19 back in hibernation, the finger wagging will start.

    What people won't say is how come the United States, basically a new country, compared to anything in Europe or even Africa, always seems to be the vanguard, why?  Why do we always seem to float to the top?  I think it is because of our diversity, because we are composed of everyone, the heterogeneity of our makeup makes us better.  This whole diversion that we aren't a fair country is bullshit, be great and the country will love you and need you.  Be a fucking loser who doesn't want to contribute and yeah, nobody wants you on their team.  I know this seems out of context, but it is all tied together in my head.

     While hundreds of thousands of people with no clear agenda have spent the summer burning down big cities, the people that actually do the work to make this country great were in the labs doing work.  While some of you cried "it's not fair, waah" scientists were slowly discovering ways to defeat the virus and make a real difference.  While millionaire black athletes were screaming to defund the police and disrespecting the American Flag, scientists and engineers were risking their lives by working with the virus, voluntarily going to a building and knowingly handling the virus because they know the outcome outweighs the risk.  These are the true heroes and it is sad that idiots that can play with a ball are going to be compensated better, it is still the right thing to do.

    So fuck you to anyone who thinks these pharmaceutical companies don't deserve the money they get.  These doctors, scientists, engineers and even the dopey managers involved all deserve better than what people give them, cause who you gonna call??  This ain't a movie, Ghostbusters can't do shit for you.
