Does this sound like a good idea to anyone?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Future enemies of America will be saying, “They let your children die to send rockets to Mars.”

That's a shame, they all like us so much today.
I guess they'll stop trying to move here, because we're so awful!

 

[konradv]

It is an excellent idea. It's not like we have money to spare. Pay off the debt, get spending under control. Replace our crumbling infrastructure first.

Vaccines cost very little. Money saved is going to building Mars rockets and the only infrastructure projects will be EV charging stations.

Why be assholes over such small amounts of money? The good will generated is worth more.

 

[MarcATL]

It sounds like more incompetence and stupidity from Trump.

Basically.

Mars rockets? Really? Excellent, EXCELLENT! The worst thing we ever did as a nation was abandon space exploration. As far as charging stations goes, isn't that something enemy democrat biden promised and didn't deliver.

Truly, I don't care what is done with the money saved from not supporting foreigners who hate us anyway. As long as it is saved and spent on this country.

Going to Mars is stupid and a lot more expensive than vaccines on earth.

U.S. to End Vaccine Funds for Poor Countries

The Trump administration intends to terminate the United States’ financial support for Gavi, the organization that has helped purchase critical vaccines for children in developing countries, saving millions of lives over the past quarter century, and to significantly scale back support for efforts to combat malaria, one of the biggest killers globally.

The administration has decided to continue some key grants for medications to treat H.I.V. and tuberculosis, and food aid to countries facing civil wars and natural disasters.

Those decisions are included in a 281-page spreadsheet that the United States Agency for International Development sent to Congress Monday night, listing the foreign aid projects it plans to continue and to terminate. The New York Times obtained a copy of the spreadsheet and other documents describing the plans.

The documents provide a sweeping overview of the extraordinary scale of the administration’s retreat from a half-century-long effort to present the United States to the developing world as a compassionate ally and to lead the fight against infectious diseases that kill millions of people annually.

I thought when it came to stuff like this people working for the admin would resign in protest. This and so many other things. The kind of abject inhumanity, affecting millions, that you have to go out of your way to pursue. The kind of thing trump does by fiat because he knows how unpopular it would be if members of Congress had to vote on it. Which they should.

Where the fuck does all the tax payer money we give to the UN go to ? Time for other countries to take up some of the slack, Uncle Sugar needs to cut back, a lot.

Imagine what we could have done with all of the money saved invested in the total NASA derived Space Launch System. A total government white elephant. Ask the politicians involved in it. On all sides.

How can you BE so idiotic and shortsighted. Going to Mars and a permanent base on the moon should have already happened! Vaccines for the world's poor should not even be suggested much less considered.

 

[Rawley]

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for George Soros to step up.

Or Big Pharma themselves

U.S. to End Vaccine Funds for Poor Countries

Yeah. I said last week that ending USAID will result in the deaths of millions of people.

But what does Chinese-American Elon Musk care. They are all darkies.

 

[Rogue AI]

If these countries have developed resources an equitable trade of resources for vaccines should be possible. X tons of resources for X crates of vaccines. They would be responsible for distribution and whatnot. If they have nothing, they get nothing.

Malaria you say? Give them a shit-ton of DDT and the problem would be solved.

Other than that, it's not our problem.

 

[fncceo]

It's no different than dealing with terrorists in their home countries rather than after they blow up your buildings.

An inoculation program I could get behind.

Rachel Carson killed millions and millions and MILLIONS of people with her book, The Silent Spring. Send over the DDT and they won't need vaccines.

A base on the moon is fine, but Mars is ridiculous.

Yes! For maga to give the world more natural immunity by murdering millions.

 

[IM2]

Who makes them poor? Not us, their own governments. Bitch to them.


What is a "developing country? How long before they are developed? Most developing countries are older than we are. Who gave us vaccines when we were developing?


So now you want to save lives. Millions of lives in countries so poor, they can't even feed themselves. Then who feeds them? Then you'd want to send over billions in food? An odd position for a person who otherwise champions KILLING people (by abortion). You want to abort Americans but save Africans. Got it.


No, one of the biggest killers globally is the democrats and their abortion centers and chinese fentanyl.

Actually, we do make them poor.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It is just the next step. Better us than China.

How about this one:

Stopping communicable diseases in other countries BEFORE they arrive on your shores, is saving American lives at home, not to mention the costs of dealing with these outbreaks when they happen.

In the real world, it's called "enlightened self interest", or "Doing well, while doing good". It's no different than dealing with terrorists in their home countries rather than after they blow up your buildings.

So tell me: How did that work out with Covid-19?
