The vaccine: I would like to remind everybody about Trumps twisted brain.

It does not work like ours. Trump, as usual, sees the vaccine as a tool, a prop, to create a show that will benefit him.

Trump wants a vaccine by the end of the year to help him in the election, period.

Trump does not care if a new vaccine is safe. He doesn't care if it hasn't been tested properly.

Hell, Trump doesn't care if the vaccine is effective. He wants to be able to say we have a vaccine and I am the greatest president ever, that's it, that's how his brain works.

It is fair to say Trump will put immense pressure on the head of the FDA to approve a vaccine before the end of the year. It will not be safe and Trump won't care.

If experts warn us the new vaccine is not safe, Trump will attack the experts. Everything Trump does is the same old song and dance.

it does not have to exist.

the important thing about snake oil is that the medicine man is paid (with electoral votes in this case) before the patients die.

been going on in there that he's blocked/refused all congressional action to contain, mitigate, and rebuild the vaccination infrastructure the Republicans have been underfunding and undermining for years. Congress issues orders and the funding to implement them. And make no mistake, McConnell could compel Trump to action.

COVID deaths are projected to exceed 100,000 by June 1, and of course continue to build BEFORE the next cold-weather wave hits.
