      Your memory is faulty. In summer and fall 2020, Trump was indicating to staff he may try to force the FDA to approve a vaccine without completing the required tests, just so he could claim that vaccines were out before the election. That would have been catastrophic and stretched the pandemic out for years. Biden and Harris said clearly and publicly on TV that they do not trust Trump and would only trust vaccines approved by scientists. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both completed phase 3 trials and got FDA authorization in December 2020, and both Biden and Trump got vaccines to show that it was safe.

      You’re wrong. I said I wanted the vaccine as soon as it came out and was only available to certain people. Trump’s being in office had nothing to do with it. Also, they aren’t “Trump vaccines” or “Biden vaccines.” That’s moronic.
