It should have went to Healthcare workers /essential workers as a whole.
Or definitely to the Muslim couple behind the development of the covid vaccine. They started working on it back in January before it even became a pandemic. I’m not against the vaccine. I just think there needs to be more safety data before being implemented. But the fast development of the vaccine is beyond incredible, and is even greater than the accomplishment of man landing on the moon.
Some are saying they just didn’t want a Muslim couple illustrated as Global Heroes.

“Don’t you want to know more about these people? Aren’t they the world’s heroes — not just America’s? Wasn’t one of the criticisms of Trump that he turned America inward, away from our allies, into a self-interested, bigoted, navel-gazing country? Why wouldn’t Time then choose these Turkish-German-Muslim heroes?”
After all, the alt-right continues to rise in Germany, and immigration is as controversial there as here. The success of two immigrants, partnering with an American company to cure what currently ails mankind, is a prideful moment for us all. How about that as a repudiation of Trump?“
I Don’t care about their political stance ....but the point is TIme not wanting to choose a Muslim Couple as Global Heroes.....thus my statement “ Some are saying”. And there are other non political outlets as well as twitter posts stating similar perceptions.

then I’m all for it.
and if t negatively affects the mental health of anyone in his cult, then....victory! Biden and Harris should win Oscars, Grammies, Pulitzer Prizes....whatever. Hopefully Trump strokes out.

where people kept chiming in with people who deserved it more. Which would have been completely fine if 99% of the people bitching actually cared about the Espy awards.
Anecdotal but most people i've seen whining about this Time thing are either Trump people or people who constantly whine about lockdowns. Suddenly they care about healthcare workers.

I guess they view beating Trump as the best chance to beat the virus.
Nurses would’ve been cool af tho and gave them a chance to tell their story.
The cover seems to be the only thing people view from Time these days.
