Just before the election, Trump will announce that a Covid vaccine is ready.

[Cousin Dupree]

It will, of course, be a complete lie. The cult members will celebrate and the stray morons that somehow haven’t decided who to vote for will jump on the trump train. There will not be enough time to publicize his lie in full force. God, I hope I’m wrong.

1. Yes, of course he will.

We need to be ready for that and already be countering it, even before it happens.

2. I think everyone pretty much expects that at this point.

It would be the least surprising October "surprise" ever.

[Initech]

3. The thing is though, will there be any takers?

The Trump base is largely anti-vaccination, and we're on the side of "Trump is full of shit". So put those two together and you'll have warehouses full of vials of the stuff going unused.

4. 1. I don't think this will garner Trump even a single

extra vote.

2. Even if Trump took the first vaccine on TV, there wouldn’t be a rush to get it.

5. Especially this election, the mail in will be done by then. Not to mention the not trusting Trump.
