Former President Donald Trump all but begged for credit on the United States vaccine rollout plan, releasing a statement asking for Just a mention please!
Following the CDCs announcement that vaccinated Americans can almost entirely shed their masks, Trump released his own statement, in an email via his Save America PAC complaining that he has received no credit for the plan.
Isnt it incredible that because of the vaccines, which I and my Administration came up with years ahead of schedule (despite the fact that everybody, including [Anthony] Fauci, said would never happen), that we no longer need masks, read the statement. And yet our names are not even mentioned in what everybody is calling the modern day miracle of the vaccines?
Trump claimed the President Joe Biden and his administration had zero to do with the vaccine, adding, all they did was continue our plan of distribution, which was working well right from the beginning!
Without the vaccines, this world would have been in for another 1917 Spanish Flu, where up to 100 million people died, he wrote. Because of the vaccines we pushed and developed in record time, nothing like that will be even close to happening. Just a mention please!

(11,256 posts)Fauci estimated that a vaccine would take 12-18 months. It basically took 11 months, which isn't too far off. And one of the biggest reasons for beating that estimate was the fact that testing was aided by the out of control spread of the virus, which actually should be attributed to Trump.

(22,114 posts)probably never would have spread so wide and far, had someone else been in charge back then. Thus, the murder of numerous Americans should be laid squarely at rump's smelly feet.

(33,135 posts)Your complete incompetence besides resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans made having the vaccine a necessity as soon as possible after you became a former.
How does that grab your porcine ass?

(111,082 posts)He called the virus a hoax.
He didn't want people to come into the country off the ship because it would drive up the numbers and make him look bad.
He was more concerned with keeping the economy and the stock market than he was with preventing lives from the pandemic.
He discouraged his followers from wearing masks and his words and actions led to many more lives being lost to the COVID.
Those are the facts.
