Then dropped it because he didn't need it anymore. But it's a popular point because he can always remember it.

For the 'warp-speed' vaccine? You first, Donnie then Ivanka and your whole sweet family. Then your inner circle of enablers and fans. After which we expose the whole lot to Covid-19 to test the vaccine's efficacy and safety. Then we count the survivors.

Because saying you have a vaccine by Election Day is easy. Proving it is something else altogether.

Ignoramus!

Then of course...nothing.

Or, he'll get Kodak or somebody to cobble some untested chemical together and have it put on the market without adequate testing.
