Makes sense if you don't actually give a shit about the country or your fellow citizens
Also, who needs a vaccine to defend against a hoax (A LIE)
A hoax that is less fatal than the seasonal flu (another LIE)
No one will be talking about COVID after the election (yet another LIE)
And let's not forget that we've been turning a corner since April (i.e. we're going in cirlces)

Trump administration passed up chance to lock in more Pfizer vaccine doses
The White House reportedly declined “multiple” offers from Pfizer to strike a deal on more vaccines for the second quarter of 2021.


A former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and a member of Pfizer’s board of directors said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration declined to secure millions of additional doses of Pfizer and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine when it had the chance.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC that the White House declined “multiple” offers from Pfizer to strike a deal on more vaccines for the second quarter of 2021. Gottlieb’s statements came after The New York Times and The Associated Press reported that the Trump administration months ago did not lock in the chance to purchase millions of additional doses of Pfizer’s vaccine, which has shown to be highly effective against Covid-19.

That decision could delay the delivery of a second batch of doses until Pfizer fulfills other international contracts.

“Pfizer has gone ahead and entered into agreement with other countries to sell them some of that vaccine in the second quarter of 2021,” Gottlieb told CNBC.

Why would we commit to something that hadn't even been developed yet?

And?

Maybe they want to see the demand before updating their supply.

Should they just go ahead and order 500 million?

Plus, once Biden enforces his mandatory mask program in January. The Rona will be an afterthought.

I'm surprised you think we even need a vaccine

Aren't you the genius who said this would all go away after the election ?

It was over a month ago

Trumptards like you just haven't finished crying it out yet

BTW - SCOTUS just told Trumptard to go pound sand and today is safe harbor deadline so hopefully you and the other gals are almost done with your cryfest
