Operation Warp Speed? I don't thank Trump: I thank BioNTech from Mainz, Germany.

I also thank Mainz for Johannes Gutenberg.

The mRNA technology was developed under NIH grants.

There's a great Vanity Fair article that reports the Warp Speed story. Trump was stopped from interfering by Jared Kushner.

And the company founder is Ugur Sahin whose parents came to Germany from Turkey when he was 4. Of course these are people Trump and the AFD donтАЩt want around, but look at what you might lose.

Right. The Germans invited the Turks to move in to take jobs that were not able to be filled, due to the massive loss of German men in the war.

ItтАЩs disgusting now for them to bitch about it, but they possess a critical character flaw. They are human. Surprisingly, the U.S. has done some pretty scummy things on immigration in the past. The Chinese Exclusion of Act 1882, for instance.

We didnтАЩt start the fire. It was always burning, since the worldтАЩs been turning. Ughh!
