The absolute Bizzaro quality of our political discourse was on display yesterday as the once and future presidents spoke to the nation yesterday regarding the roll out of Pfizer's version of a Covid 19 vaccine. tRump took full credit for the proprietary vaccine developed with no input from the federal government and breezily predicted again we have "rounded the corner" regardless of 287,000 deaths we have endured and the hundreds of thousands more that are likely before a significant number of our fellows are vaccinated.
Meanwhile, in Wilmington, Delaware, the president elect spoke to the difficulties we will experience in the coming winter months. He asked everyone to mask up for the first 100 days of the administration to help bend the curve and pledged 100 million shots in the first 100 days. Biden did not sugar coat the pandemic and requested everyone's help while empathizing with those who have lost loved ones to the disease.
This is the stark contrast we are seeing in real time.
