Just when everybody thought, President Donald Trump was doing nothing but boasting of vaccine availability before the United States' 2020 presidential election, Trump speaks again with more intensity. The President claims that the coronavirus vaccine may be available in the country in just a few weeks.
Health experts, believe it or not, Dems accept it or not, and people approve it or not, the POTUS seems clear with his strategies in regards to the coronavirus vaccine.
During an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump suggests that the coronavirus vaccine may be approved within a few weeks. Not just that, the President also said that he wasn’t doing it for political purposes or benefits, it’s just that he wants America virus-vaccinated as soon as possible so that they can get back to their normal lifestyles, businesses, and jobs.
Trump refers to the quick push for a coronavirus vaccine as ‘Operation Warp Speed.’ Given Trump’s proactive approach in the favor of the vaccine, it seems likely that the 'Operation Warp Speed' was kicked off way before it was dubbed so.
Speaking of the reason for fast-track development of the vaccine, Trump said, "You wouldn't have a vaccine for years ... I speeded up the process with the FDA... We're going to have a vaccine in a matter of weeks, it could be four weeks, it could be eight weeks ... we have a lot of great companies."
Moving on from the subject of pandemic, health, and vaccine, President Trump didn’t forget to take a dig at his Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden, address Hurricane Sally, and give word punishment to Bob Woodward for the claims that he made against Trump and his administration through his book Rage.
Since Trump’s announcement of the vaccine, Democrats have been casting doubt over the credibility and safety of the potential vaccine. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have both expressed their disbelief on what Trump has said about the development of vaccine before the election.
Harris said she would never count on a vaccine that’s developed before Nov. 3 and she would not “take [Trump’s] word on it.”
It’s not yet certain if the pandemic is being “politicized” for election gains, but it’s in the best interest of American citizens if a safe vaccine is ready as soon as possible to be used - and that will, directly or indirectly, prove to be advantageous to Trump in the election. The readiness of America for the vaccine, however, is still dubious.
