Trump fixates on the promise of a vaccine — real or not — as key to reelection bid

“President Trump is so fixated on finding a vaccine for the novel coronavirus that in meetings about the U.S. pandemic response, little else captures his attention, according to administration officials.

Trump has pressed health officials to speed up the vaccine timeline and urged them to deliver one by the end of the year. He has peppered them with questions about the development status and mass-distribution plans. And, in recent days, he has told some advisers and aides that a vaccine may arrive by Nov. 1, which just happens to be two days before the presidential election.

Trump’s desire to deliver a vaccine — or at least convince the public that one is very near — by the time voters decide whether to elect him to a second term is in part a campaign gambit to improve his standing with an electorate that overwhelmingly disapproves of his management of the pandemic.”


Needless to say, Trump doesn’t care if the vaccine isn’t safe, or simply doesn’t work.
 
Democratic strategists, too, said a vaccine announcement could play in Trump’s favor, but they cautioned that it is unlikely to significantly change the contours of the race.
 
Trump is as delusional as he is desperate to believe a vaccine would save his reelection bid.

It’s Trump’s failure to address the pandemic at the start of the year that warrants his being voted out of office, not just the current crisis.

And it will take months before a vaccine has the desired effect – if at all:

“In a study published July 15 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, my colleagues and I used a computer simulation of every person in the country to show how effective a vaccine would have to be and how many people would have to get vaccinated to end the pandemic. We found that a coronavirus vaccine’s effectiveness may have to be higher than 70 percent or even 80 percent before Americans can safely stop relying social distancing. By comparison, the measles vaccine has an efficacy of 95-98 percent, and the flu vaccine is 20-60 percent.”

That doesn’t mean a vaccine that offers less protection would be useless, but it would mean social distancing in some form may still be necessary.

Haha, you libs are pissing your pants at the prospect there could be a vaccine available by Election Day. Dems can’t win on the issues, all they have is Wu Flu which they think they can blame President Trump for.
Without it you can’t use fear to manipulate the populous.
 
Trump fixates? Is that before or after brokering a peace agreement between Serbia and Kosovo? After negotiating peace and trade between Israel and its historic enemies Trump may actually bring about world peace. Communist democrats should just butt out of American politics.

True.

And only a fool would take Trump’s word that a vaccine is safe.

Indeed, many Americans would refuse a vaccine rushed into production under the Trump regime because it’s likely unsafe – and appropriately so.

For something that isn't even in clinical trials, in order to be introduced, it has just over 2 months to go to election. Rump is out of time on that Dream. The Nightmare will still be around come November 3rd.

Lying about when a vaccine might be ready is all Trump has.

Trump was lying about a vaccine today during a press conference:

“Trump has said that a vaccine against the virus would be ready in record time, perhaps before the election, raising questions about whether political pressure might result in the deployment of a vaccine before it is safe.”

 
“President Trump is so fixated on finding a vaccine for the novel coronavirus that in meetings about the U.S. pandemic response, little else captures his attention, according to administration officials.

Trump has pressed health officials to speed up the vaccine timeline and urged them to deliver one by the end of the year.
