Intentionally murdering possibly thousands of people (or tens of thousands? or what, who knows?!) for some assumed political gain is absolutely, 100% an unreasonable decision for any human to make. Intentionally delaying a vaccine would certainly be a crime, no? Not to mention absolutely abhorrent and completely evil.
That is not a "reasonable decision" to make by any stretch of the imagination.

They didn't delay the process.
- Jedd 6y agoYou seem to be jumping to an awful lot of conclusions without really explaining what you understand is happening here. (I note that I don't understand at all what you're asserting.)
- woofie11 6y agoNo. I didn't write "Intentionally murdering possibly thousands of people" or "Intentionally delaying a vaccine" I wrote "We're talking about announcing a result a few weeks earlier versus later." And if that was the goal, I think it worked. It looks like Biden won by literally tens of thousands votes. An announcement a week earlier probably would have swung the election to Trump. At a cost of zero lives. If the vaccine works as announced, we're still weeks away from the end of the trial, and months away from widespread distribution.
