What are the odds that Donald Trump has already received a COVID-19 vaccine?

[MineralMan]

There's a likely candidate for the vaccine from Moderna being fast-tracked already, and it is moving into a larger Phase 3 testing protocol at the end of July.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trump has insisted that he be given the vaccine. He wouldn't disclose that, of course, but he has enough clout to insist that the pharmaceutical company involved include him in the current larger test group. The Trump administration and FDA will play a large role in selecting the vaccine to be used in a large-scale rollout, so there's an opportunity to do some heavy pushing on the part of the Administration.

I'm betting he has had the vaccine by now. Maybe his family and a few close associates, as well.

1. He says he's using hydroxychloracrap. So he's good.

[MineralMan]

2. He said he took it, but has stopped taking it.

Who knows the truth, though? He lies about everything.

[SoonerPride]

3. None

There is no vaccine

Some are in trials, but they wouldn't have a sitting president in a trial.

He is not on any vaccine. Full stop.

[MineralMan]

4. Oh, I'm not so sure about that.

Not at all.

5. That woud be an incredibly stupid thing to do . . .

I made decisions about radiation therapy following my breast cancer based, in part, on the commitments I had made to others. One would think that the president of the United States ought to consider his commitments to others when engaging in potentially risky behavior.

But . . . incredibly stupid is precisely what he does all the time, and he doesn't care one whit about any commitments to anyone else.

8. Well, Donald J. Trump IS Incredibly Stupid

And there it is.

6. trump, all the lesser trumps, Barr, Mnuchin, McConnell,on and on, are ALL on Putin-provided vaccine.

? actually not sure, how could all the top people be totally unscathed by this?

[Danmel]

7. He is too big a coward

To take a vaccine in the trial phase. Selfless people do that. I dont think anyone has ever called him selfless.

[MineralMan]

9. The Idiot in Chief Took Hydrochloroquine.

[hamsterjill]

18. No, he SAID he took it.

He lies all the time. So we don’t know.

[fescuerescue]

10. Slim to none

They don't test experimental drugs on the President. Instead they heavily screen everyone around him.

While I suppose he could insist, the pharma's are not government ran companies. They don't answer to the President. They can say no.

I can just imagine a pharma's lawyers and board going apeshit at the thought of testing on the President. If it went wrong the company would be -DEAD-, Dead and dead.

[peggysue2]

11. Just read a story claiming Putin and his inner circle . . .

have all received an experimental vaccine. How the world turns!

[Freethinker65]

12. Vaccine? Nope. Plasma from survivors? Possibly

[tblue37]

13. MM, check your subject line. nt

[MineralMan]

19. Thanks. Fixed it.

[lame54]

14. What vaccine?...

I don't think it's been years yet
Just feels like it

[hlthe2b]

15. Nil. If anything he may have received antibody-rich plasma, especially after WH staff exposures

There are increasing risks from reactions to repeating this product (and any protection provided wanes quickly over a couple of weeks and no stimulation of one's own immune system occurs), but theoretically they could be doing so as often as every 4-6 weeks.

16. If Trump gets it, he's a goner.

He's a morbidly obese geriatric who eats garbage food and has had no exercise since he was 20. No way any medication, treatment, or vaccine would save him.

[SharonClark]

17. Who gives a fuck one way or the other.
