Trump being praised for inventing vaccine

On one of my non-du forums a member is praising Donald Trump for the invention of this vaccine.

Saying that without trump it would not have been done..

My laughter at the comment drew many attacks on me by loyal Trump fans.

Maybe they will build a statue in his honor.
Hey, they could portray him as a horse's ass.

Pfizer was not part of Operation Ludicrous Speed and did not take other Fed money.

And, tRump is not a scientist so saying he invented the vaccine is like saying Eisenhower invented the Polio vaccine.

I will not take ANY vaccine until the likes of a Dr. Fauci says it is proven safe. Chumpster had little to do with this 90% effective drug, they were not given any federal money upfront. However, they will receive 1.9 B on the back end.

He wants credit for something he had nothing to do with (see: Obama economy and new vaccine) and wants NO PART of things he DID do (failure to lead coronavirus attack and subsequent tanking of US economy).

Not to mention paying off the complete national debt from his petty cash drawer, developing a viable vehicle for time travel, and curing the Heartbreak of Psoriasis once and for all.

What effect did lying and downplaying the pandemic have? On one hand claiming to have cut red tape, and on the other, saying it's just the flu and will just go away on it's own. Why would a corporation go balls out 24/7 to develop a vaccine if they listened to Trump? That's a huge expense for nothing if Trump was right.

Pfizer looked at the real data and did what it was gonna do regardless of anything Trump said or did.
