Hey Dems; be true to your VOTE!!! Don't take the Trump Vaccine!!!!!
Greg
Is the vaccine in the UK the PM Johnson vaccine, or the vaccines in Israel the Netanyahu vaccine?
These countries had vaccines BEFORE the USA.... Why aren't they trying to take credit for them? Why is Trump so stuck on him getting credit for doing what any president would do? His narcissism?
Trump wouldn't even take his shot in front of the public to promote HIS vaccine, because he didn't want anyone to see his chubby arm....
I think you'll find that the Pfizer and Moderna were first. Both heavily warp sped.

Fact Check:
Reid, the MSNBC host of the show “
The ReidOut,” made the claim after Pfizer and Moderna respectively announced this month that they had developed COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech said in a
Nov. 18 press release that its vaccine is 95 percent effective, while Moderna has said its vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective, according to
The Washington Post.
In the segment, Reid
said, “I just want to fact check real quick and remind you all that the companies themselves that are producing these vaccines were not involved in Operation Warp Speed, and have said as much, so that’s a lie.” The statement came after she
played a montage of Republican senators appearing to give credit to the Trump administration and Operation Warp Speed for the pharmaceutical companies’ developments.
Her statement, however, is inaccurate and lacks important context. Moderna and Pfizer have both participated to some degree in
Operation Warp Speed, the federal government’s initiative to quickly develop and bring to market a safe COVID-19 vaccine. "
Moderna received nearly $1 billion from the federal government through Operation Warp Speed to help develop and test its COVID-19 vaccine,
The New York Times reported. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also announced in August up to about $1.5 billion to “support the large-scale manufacturing and delivery” of Moderna’s vaccine, according to an
HHS fact sheet on Operation Warp Speed.
In an
Aug. 11 press release, HHS explained that Moderna’s vaccine “has been co-developed by Moderna and scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)” and that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority “supported phase 2/3 clinical trials, vaccine manufacturing scale up and other development activities for this vaccine.” A spokesperson for Moderna confirmed in an email to Check Your Fact that the pharmaceutical company is “part of Operation Warp Speed.”
Pfizer, unlike Moderna,
did not take money from the federal government for the development and testing of its vaccine, according to
CNN. However, the company is part of Operation Warp Speed as a “supplier of a potential COVID-19 vaccine,” according to a company statement provided to Check Your Fact by spokesperson Sharon Castillo. In July, it reached a $1.95 billion agreement with the U.S. government through Operation Warp Speed to deliver 100 million doses of its vaccine, if approved by Food and Drug Administration, according to a
Pfizer press release and
The New York Times.
“Pfizer is proud to be one of various vaccine manufacturers participating in Operation Warp Speed as a supplier of a potential COVID-19 vaccine,” the company statement provided to Check Your Fact says. “Pfizer has self-funded all of its COVID-19 vaccine development and manufacturing costs. Under its agreement with the U.S. government, Pfizer will only receive payment for successful delivery of vaccine doses, following regulatory authorization or approval.”
So now you know, 4; it was a marvelous program with two excellent vaccines produced. I am very glad for you that you have received such a wonderful vaccine. Live long and Prosper.

Can only lead the horse to the water but I can’t force them to drink it.
Could not have said it better myself.
Just goes through one ear and out the other with most who have posted on this thread though other than a few exceptions who get that.
