Trump told reporters: "we're very close to a (Coronavirus) vaccine"

Trump sows confusion in discussing vaccine

President Donald Trump told reporters that “we’re very close to a vaccine” while answering questions about the COVID-19 outbreak during a state visit to India,
prompting outlets from the Jerusalem Post to the New York Post to write that Trump said the U.S. was close to finding a vaccine for the deadly new coronavirus.

The White House later said Trump was referring to the Ebola vaccine— not the coronavirus.

That they will rush and first vaccine won’t totally work but because people will believe it it will cause it to spread more. He said the real vaccine will take a year to be fully ready.

Trump is patterned a bold faced informed liar. His loyalists spin any inconsistency as the result of Trump having massive amounts of information and sometimes his Magic 8 Ball answer confuses similar answers. They always parade wrong answers as leading up to the correct answer/truth.

So let it be done!

Who are these weak-kneed jellyspines who are saying that the Emperor Trump was talking about an ebola vaccine and not coronavirus?! The Emperor Trump will demand their heads on a platter!

Isn't that the standard now for the United States? The Emperor Trump is never wrong.
