Trump and Any Potentially Useful Vaccine.

Will a vaccine financially benefit Trump, his family, and his friends? No? Then it will not be used in the USA. Was it invented in some other country? Yes? Then, it will be "No Good." Will it be sold first in the United States? No? Then we'll wait until one is developed and tested here and sold by a company Trump and his associates have a stake in.

What if a US company that has a Trump and associates stake develops a working vaccine and it tests out to be safe and effective? Will Trump order it to be distributed and manufactured worldwide to prevent the disease from spreading? He will not. He will order it distributed only in the United States and to allies of which Trump approves.

What if a US company's vaccine is shown to be less effective than a vaccine developed in another country? Will Trump opt to buy the vaccine from elsewhere? No, because there is no profit in that for him or his associates.

Will a vaccine developed by another country first that is safe and effective be allowed to be distributed in the USA? No. Trump will forbid that vaccine from being sold here, because it is "No Good." Only US vaccines will be considered by the Trump administration.

Don't believe me? Just watch.

The whole "just the flu" hoax thing might have limited the market.

On second thought what I am saying. As soon Trump says it is "good", they will line up to get it.

To rush , ignore any safety precautions , or allow testing done as set up in their own guidelines. This isn't something I wouldn't trust the safety of while trump is in office. He will try to hurt all those that refuse taking it. Its all about him promoting it to somehow financially and politically benefit from it, because that the ways he always does it. Same with him giving out contracts, and very likely he gives them to those that give him money using super pacs to use to funnel the funds into his pockets, while claiming its for his campaign. trump is a crook, and a liar. It will catch up to him and many others soon.

Trump is in the White House, and decisions he is making now will have a huge impact on what happens early next year.
