Covid 19 Vaccine Should Be Named After Trump

[pastafreak]

So says a Fox News journalist. This guy, Geraldo Rivera, has been around for about 35 years. He was doing a daily live talk show when I came to the UK.

they'd be better off naming the virus after him. Trump-19.

I used to like Geraldo many years ago but in recent years, I thought he became a bit extreme.

My Gran used to make us stand i the back yard for 10 minutes if we trumped in her house.

So did I 237...he changed over the years.
I'm sure most of his audience had a crush on him back in the day.

not a trump voluntary then, Mamya?

[237SJ]

He ended up looking up like a Groucho Marx lookalike. Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh but ..

I always liked Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper on CNN. I never realised that Anderson Cooper's Mum was Gloria Vanderbilt. US news progs are so much more entertaining than those in the UK

I really want to try to forget Trump. An eternal reminder of his handling of the virus would be a sort of torture.

I have to say as the resident party pooper = hence PP
that vaccine are usually named against the disease

TAB - typhoid, paratyphoid A and B
yellow fever,plague, anthrax all of which I have had tularaemia as a lab rat at Porton Down - - vaccines that is!

BCG - bacille Calmette Guerin

and the three types of polio - Brunnhilde Lansing and Leon

Types, Kinds Catagories of Polio › ppsc › type
Type 1 (also known as Brunhilde) · Type 2(Lansing) · Type 3 (Leon)

were the bunny rabbits the polio virus was first isolated in

reader - I am sure THOSE liddle fluffy bunnies were boiled at the end - - - ohgod yes

"We have 'X' amount of vaccines Mr Trump"

DT - "Waaaat,I demand a recount"!!!!

very good
tray clever

Trump has shown yet again what he thinks of the virus by playing golf while the G10 summit was taking place. I wonder if he's related to Nero?

[pastafreak]

His arrogance is positively mind boggling. He also wants Americans to get the vaccine first. On what basis I wonder. I can't be bothered to hunt for an answer right now.

Tests used to be personal

dick - calm down calm down - not a test for syphilis - sacrlet fever I think
