Presumably, then, he might also be worried about other non-infectious diseases like cancer, particularly given his advanced age.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Trump\u2019s campaign got bankrolled by tech oligarchs unlike any in modern history. They didn\u2019t do that for nothing; presumably, deals were made either implicitly or explicitly that autistic tech sociopaths were going to have carte blanche.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Trump is very famously easily impressed by extreme wealth and accolades, which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1880354940607938653\" rel=\"\">his meeting with Bill Gates that reportedly went swimmingly<\/a>, according to Gates, should have surprised no one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 There is some under-the-table angle in it for him financially.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 He really has been convinced that AI is going to make mRNA \u201ccancer vaccines\u201d \u2014 another silly and condescending term \u2014 that produce the promised results because he doesn\u2019t know or care how this stuff works and he gets bullshit whispered into his ear non-stop by grifters<\/p>\n<p>Of course, although I\u2019m not one who believes motivations don\u2019t matter at all, at some point asking <em>why<\/em> becomes a philosophical road to nowhere; he did it, he\u2019s evidently going to do nothing to rein in the mRNA profiteers death-marching us into disease and death, and now we\u2019re going to have to live with the consequences as guinea pigs in a global transhumanist experience when bird flu drops and a magic cure appears on the market six months later that everyone is forced to take at gunpoint by corporate and state and local-level government fiat (in blue areas, at least) or starve alone in their homes.<\/p>\n<p><em>But at least he got us out of the WHO, right? <\/em>comes the chorus of MAGA apologists and die-hards.<\/p>\n<p>To which I say: At least he did that. Sure.<\/p>\n<p>And possibly a ban on gain-of-function research (excluding private-sector firms, excluding bird flu), if anonymous sources leaking to the Wall Street Journal are to be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Gift-horses, mouths, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Trump can be influenced to do good things. But what a hell of a double-edged sword that is \u2014 hence the reason the real war for the soul of the nation is, and always was, who has Trump\u2019s ear while he\u2019s in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/armageddonprose.substack.com\/p\/why-did-he-do-it-and-is-maha-finished\">https:\/\/armageddonprose.substack.com\/p\/why-did-he-do-it-and-is-maha-finished<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13734\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
