Wow, the OPer is OUTRAGED that the USA will take action seeking a vaccination without China's permission.
Electing China Joe would fix that since a Chinese flag should be flown over the Biden White House.
Notably lacking in the article that you insisted we all read is any indication of what the conditions are to join this club. Depending on what that is, it could be that the President and his advisors know a lot more about the progress being made by US companies and our allies, and that AMERICANS would likely be better off if we stayed the course rather than committing to share it with China and Russia.
That's speculation on my part, and this could be exactly the douche move the article implies, but the article certainly does nothing to dispel this.
You might find "Could a COVID-19 Vaccine Be the October Surprise?" (from ElectoralVote.com) "amusing".
[NOTE - The link is to the 20/09/03 page and you will have to go to the source, then navigate to that page after today.]
However, I am fully aware that you actually believe that the United States of America, acting completely on its own, is going to be totally successful and will develop "Panaceamycin" (the total cure and immunization agent for COVID-19) before anyone in any of the other 180+ countries does. (At which point, of course, the US government is going to be able to dictate to every other country what it MUST do before they are allowed to have any of that "Panaceamycin".)
Correction, you are "fully aware" that you are able, without a shred of shame, to concoct baseless and absurd claims about other people.

U.S. Won’t Join International Vaccine Effort Because WHO Is Involved
On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that it would not take part in an international effort to test, produce, and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine, despite the obvious benefit that would serve to public health in the United States and the clear electoral benefit it would provide for a president desperate to project a sense of pre-pandemic normalcy.
As is the case for so many current presidential decisions, the choice to opt out of the high-profile vaccine search appears to be driven by personal grievance. Trump will not allocate U.S. resources toward the effort because of the involvement of the World Health Organization — the flawed United Nations organ he has used as a scapegoat to deflect attention from his own failures to respond to the coronavirus.
“The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus,” White House spokesperson Judd Deere said on Tuesday. “But we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China.” Thus, the United States will not be involved with the COVID-19 vaccine global-access (COVAX) research facility, which will have over 170 countries collaborating to develop a vaccine and distribute doses to high-risk groups worldwide.
The downside for the United States is immediately apparent: If the international effort proves an early success and the U.S. version does not, the country will face a gap time in which Americans will die as more collaborative parties reap the benefits of cooperation. (One could only imagine how such an outcome would affect the Trump administration or its legacy, depending on how the next 62 days go.) But the American decision to bail will also impact the COVAX drive. “The idea behind COVAX is to discourage hoarding and focus on vaccinating high-risk people in every country first,” writes the Washington Post. Without the aid of the world’s largest economy, it’s possible that more defectors will emerge, with the vaccine push being turned into a race with real winners and losers.

Short sightedness at its finest.
Ahhh, so you do NOT actually believe that the United States of America, acting completely on its own, is going to be totally successful and will develop "Panaceamycin" (the total cure and immunization agent for COVID-19) before anyone in any of the other 180+ countries does.
Fair enough.
Now why are you exulting over the fact that United States of America is going to be acting completely on its own, is going to be totally successful, and will develop "Panaceamycin" (the total cure and immunization agent for COVID-19) before anyone in any of the other 180+ countries does?

Just more evidence of Trump's complete and utter failure as a leader.
He's a disease and the only cure is to vote him out of office like your life depended on it....because it does.
Are you implying that you'd be willing to Take Down The Russian Ideology and those who hold up the Russian Principles and move it and the Trump Cult out of the United State of America's Office of the Presidency.
China did not come here and take anything, you better look to your wealthy among you, who supported outsourcing EVERYTHING!!! If you got cheap low grade goods from China.. its because that is what the American Business man requested. China took the pennies and turned them into dollars, an now because of ignorant greedy and vain people, We now are indebt to China... and they are fast engaged in-building their future..with pedestrian traffic in mind, they have multiple high speed and they have multiple Super Computers....

Why??The reason Trump is pulling out of all these deals and associations is that he is too lazy and unintelligent to actually sit down and figure out how they work. Pulling out of the global effort to produce a vaccine is one of the dumbest things he's ever done. The US is the laughing stock of the civilized world. We should all be disgusted with ourselves for allowing that jack ass to ever go near the WH.
All Trump has learned since he's been president is how to further bully democrats and our allies. He's worthless.

Why??
China Joe is who negotiated with China primarily for a billion dollars for his son, with trade concessions by the USA what he was selling to China on behalf of his son. No one more worships the super rich than the Democratic Party and most Democrats.
What to see hysterical messages by Democrats? Post a criticism of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates or the WalMart heirs. To most Democrats that is attack their gods!
You chose the right handle if that implies Joking. You need to read the history of "Outsourcing"... you will find info that you should be prepared to deal with. That information relates to both Republicans and Democrats.... functioning upon an old system mentality of "Get Cheap Labor By Any Means".... NONE of these people stopped to think about the damage it was doing to American Industry, and the American landscape, and the American People.
Every time Business and Industry thought they were getting away with 300% Upwards markup profits... It cost this nation that much and more, in damaged industry, neglected infrastructure and that reverberated throughout our society. Cities in America, Yes, All Across America... use many Foreign Made Tractors for Grass Cutting, Foreign Made Zero Turn Lawn Mowers, and other Foreign Made Construction Equipment... The only reason they don't have a fleet full of foreign made cars and trucks, is because it would be too obvious even to the most uneducated and unaware person.
No University Teaches these young people for the past 30-40 yrs, that when they spend Public Money, the standards is no more than 25% is to be spent to purchase foreign products, and they no longer teach them that a % of what they purchase must come from Local Merchants, and that is not suppose to be merchants that only selll foreign made products.
I watched in the late 1970's, American Industry Close Good Year Tire Plant, and then closed Firestone Tire Plant - when the world looked at America as the Automobile Capital of the World.. Now, that tells how insidious and greed driven these people have been and have been taught to be... To not know that the need for Automobile nd other Vehicle Tires would be a standard consumer items as long as vehicles exist in the current form. I saw every kind of Ore Processing and those who work with processed ore, in the form of various metals, simply "close".
In 1969, Richard Nixon, was hailed for what many called "Opening China"... and the system of Exports went into overdrive, Japan was no longer the go to mass replicators and producers of low grade goods. None of these Executive cared that America workers were displaced. Union's tried to forge agreements to block the exodus from industry, but politicians and wealthy people convinced the union worker, to complain and cry about paying Union Dues... telling them they were getting nothing for their money. When fact was, they had progressive wages, class and craft skill pay, longevity pay, paid vacation, Paid sick time, company sponsored Insurance and Company sponsored Pension... and all during the time Unions were strong and these benefits were paid... America's Economy Grew Faster Than Any Economy On The Planet.
When Unions were busted, no more progressive pay, no more class and craft pay, no more longevity pay, now people have to fight in congress to try to get people sick leave pay, and they only give Pensions to Executive and those in the higher Senior Executive Level, everyone else gets a 401k that the company does not contribute one penny, and they don't want to give employees group medical coverage and when they do they find the most worthless plan they can find.
You need to pay attention to Republican led States.. They promote "Right To Work" which means they don't give the employee anything, because they know the employee no voice, and they have not group support, because everyone is under the Right to Work singularity program, which by design prohibits collective voice.
People whining about $35 has cost them 100 times that much and more in lost benefits of every benefit type, and gained them poorer and poorer working conditions, along with generalized "Instability" where the company may close at any time.
Union's had a say in the actions taken by companies that was necessary to promoted industrial and corporate stability.
I don't buy into that dribble about Biden and China... During Iraq and Afghanistan War, if you knew how much increase in purchasing took place with China, one would not believe the staggering madness. We were and still are spending $30+Billion a Month with China Trade Imbalance, Iraq War was costing us $30 Billion a Month, Afghanistan was costing up between $10-20 Billion a Month, We had and still have $XX Billion Trade Deficit with Canada, $XX Billion Trade Deficit with Japan, and $XX Billion Trade Deficit with Mexico, and so much has been going on, until we don't even have a tally on what we own Saudi and Other OPEC Partner Nations.
American SQUANDERED THE WEALTHY GAINED POST WORLD WAR II... They had done that by the early 1960's Its why LBJ set out a war on Poverty, because the volume of money generated and squandered was so great, yet the people were still living in decrepit condition with no means for Medical care even for the aged.
