Clearly has no idea of the distinction between a vaccine and treatment. That said, I wish he would put some pressure on Gilead to start making more of that anti-viral of theirs... I know it's under trial, but it's looking promising, and given the seriousness of this infection, speeding that up might not be a bad idea. If he wants to be an authoritarian, that would be a good place to be it...

My head hurts from the stupidity this man displays on a daily basis.

I have 9 and 11 year old children that have a better grasp of how the world works.

I did hear about Regeneron which is a novel anti-viral that had positive effects on treating a patient with COVID-19 who was not responding to other treatments.

The vaccine however, is a long time away. Trump is such an idiot that he cannot get it through that pea brain that what he is asking for is months and months, if not years away.

I am sure at his next rally he is going to talk about the new drug he helped push through that will prevent you from getting COVID-19 AND will make you feel better faster. Just wait.
