Trump says coronavirus vaccine possible before Nov. 3
by Reuters
Thursday, 6 August 2020 14:04 GMT


WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday it was possible the United States would have a coronavirus vaccine before the Nov. election, a far more optimistic forecast than timing put forth by his own White House health experts.

Asked on the Geraldo Rivera radio program when a vaccine might be ready, Trump said, "Sooner than the end of the year, could be much sooner."

"Sooner than November 3?" he was asked.

"I think in some cases, yes possible before, but right around that time," Trump said.

Why isn't Chloroquine and bleach good enough we don't need no steenkin vaccine.

3 levels of human testing needs their heads examined. He will push one forward that is unsafe, especially if he has a financial interest, and I'm sure he has been investing in all of these companies who are on the forefront of a vaccine.

I’d expect there to be some BS about how “the forgotten” can’t get the vaccine best of blue state liberals and Antifa.

There is no way to produce enough of any vaccine for the US population by November.

I can see it now. Medical people waiting in the procession just past the vote scanners (which will be set up to spit out who you voted for). If the receipt says you voted for Rump, you win a FREE shot of super-duper vaccine! (If you voted for Biden, shots will be $50 -- cash only.)

Why risk a paper cut on your tongue licking one of those nasty, nasty vote-by-mail envelopes? Vote HERE and get your FREE shot! And hot dogs for the kids!

The pitch will be-

"Happy to announce that I have a tremendous new vaccine that will take care of your CV-19 worries. The problem is, there is only enough to cover everyone that votes for me on Election Day. Take a pic of your ballot as proof of vote and you will be eligible to get a free shot at your local Republican campaign quarters! "

Can he not see the shit he will be in on the morning of November 3rd when there is no news confirmation that there is a vaccine? Can’t he visualize that people standing in long lines with mask trying to vote and discussing among themselves how full of shit Trump and republicans are?
He is being haunted, ridiculed and mocked as a result of the lies he has told yet he simply doubles down and goes full throttle on the bullshit machine.
