On one of my non-du forums a member is praising Donald Trump for the invention of this vaccine.
Saying that without trump it would not have been done..
My laughter at the comment drew many attacks on me by loyal Trump fans.
Maybe they will build a statue in his honor.
Hey, they could portray him as a horse's ass.

And, tRump is not a scientist so saying he invented the vaccine is like saying Eisenhower invented the Polio vaccine.

(13,618 posts)What effect did lying and downplaying the pandemic have? On one hand claiming to have cut red tape, and on the other, saying it's just the flu and will just go away on it's own. Why would a corporation go balls out 24/7 to develop a vaccine if they listened to Trump? That's a huge expense for nothing if Trump was right.
Pfizer looked at the real data and did what it was gonna do regardless of anything Trump said or did.
