This 911 mentality would have been useful in Feb. now it looks like desperation.

So.... He's not the real President then. Can't recall any other president making the same outlandishly wild claims.

We'd better ban plasma treatment huh?

By ‘deep state’ he means ‘processes to ensure something is safe and effective before approval’

Why would we need a mandatory vaccine if it doesn't make people immune, and only helps some people with symptoms? Most ppl are not at risk and will experience mild or no symptoms.
