Trump to order government to vaccinate Americans first
By Morgan Chalfant - 12/07/20 05:52 PM EST


President Trump will sign an executive order on Tuesday affirming that Americans should receive coronavirus vaccines before any are distributed to other nations.

Trump will sign the order during a White House summit on Operation Warp Speed, the public-private program aimed at accelerating the delivery of a vaccine for COVID-19.

“The executive order reaffirms to the American people that we’re going to put America first working to ensure that they have access to a vaccine,” a senior administration official told reporters on a call Monday.

The executive order also lays out a framework for U.S. government agencies to coordinate in order to assist foreign countries in getting immunizations after the American public is vaccinated, according to the official.

“Once we have ensured the ability to meet the needs of the American people, it would be then in the interest of the United States to facilitate international access to COVID vaccines,” the official said.

1. Guess that's why he didn't order enough vaccine from Pfizer

and Moderna. Is he going to confiscate what they've already sold to other countrues?

[tanyev]

5. But he's going to sign a piece of paper and use the word 'hereby'.

That'll fix everything.

[dhol82]

2. Oops, too late!

UK has already started.

[duforsure]

3. Trumps wrong on his operational name he's using for the vaccine

It should be called "Warped mind". He'll try to prevent or slow down blue states from getting it too.

[True Blue American]

4. And the companies

Said no. Already sold! They have already moved on to Biden.

[Hortensis]

6. More deceitful noise to cover his refusal to buy enough vaccine FOR

the government to vaccinate Americans.

[soothsayer]

14. Yep

[ananda]

7. Does that mean Whites Only, Coloreds need not apply?

Sheesh

[33taw]

9. Not sure how he'll classify health care workers from foreign countries.

[ananda]

16. So: Coloreds and "favorite slur for immigrants" need not apply.

..

[Atticus]

8. In other news, he also signed executive orders commanding water to flow downhill,the sun

to transit the USA from east to west daily and all Americans to swallow their own saliva throughout each day.

E pluribus unum and Boom Shakalaka, amen.

[Hugin]

12. I spit sometimes in defiance of the last dictate.

In a safe and COVID responsible manner, of course.

[Klaralven]

10. He probably doesn't understand that most manufacturing of vaccines is not in the US

Pfizer's initial production is in Brussels.

Pfizer is planning production at Andover, Kalamazoo, and St Louis, but it's not clear if they are up and running yet

All the litigation by trial lawyers over vaccine liability a couple decades ago drove vaccine manufacture out of the US.

[Hugin]

11. What exactly does this accomplish other than moving the US to the back of the line?

Or raising the fricking price?

GEEZUS!

[blm]

13. He's replacing headline of his refusing Pfizer vaccine.

Because headlines matter to him more than people.

[soothsayer]

15. Yes yes

[SoonerPride]

17. Meanwhile in England they continue to get vaccinated.

Shocking that they don't bow to his proclamation.

18. ... and this is the other reason I'll be waiting till the summer or until comorbidities are cleared
