Donald Trump's Latest Strategy To Vamp Up His Profile: Swift Approval And Buy Out Of Oxford Vaccine
The hardest-hit nation from coronavirus, the United States has seen a significant improvement from mid-July to the last week of August. The number of daily cases has dropped from 74360 on July 24 to August 23's 36426 cases.
However, the path to being as normal as before February is still a lengthy one for the country. The painful fact for States is that - despite boasting the best healthcare system in the world, the country couldn’t tame the virus and crumbled so badly.
There have been a lot of factors to blame and President Donald Trump is also one of the targets. In fact, Trump’s mismanagement of the virus has been one of the things that have put him at the disadvantaged end in the elections. While Presidential candidate Joe Biden is clearly observed taking a lead, Mr. President has been involved in the vamping up of his image and also the wrecked up situation.
Probably due to the same fact, Trump has made it clear that he wants no shortage of vaccine for Americans.
According to Sky News host Niall Paterson, Trump is aiming to get a “fast-track” approval of the Oxford vaccine in a bid to leave the United Kingdom behind in the race to the Covid-19 vaccine. Trump’s plan is simple - buy up the Oxford vaccine before anyone else so that Americans can be assured of immunity against the virus and get back to normal life as soon as possible. Another side of his plan is to be quicker than UK in the bidding.
When asked about America getting access to Oxford vaccine before Britons, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England, Dr. Jenny Harries said some wise words, "I don’t think it matters whether it is America or anywhere else, we have a global crisis and it is really important that everyone around the world has fair and safe access to vaccine development.
Trump’s hurriedness can be understood. Elections campaigns in America are in full swing and for Trump to get back the attention and faith of people of the country, it’s important that he shifts his stance in his coronavirus methodology.
Dems have been using Trump’s mismanagement of coronavirus to their advantage which Trump has called “politicization of the pandemic.”
The crisis was felt more badly in America than in any other region of the world, but the pandemic of this level asks for the integrity of efforts and faith in each other.
