President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic put his political fate in grave jeopardy. Now he’s hoping to get credit for his administration’s aggressive push for a vaccine — and crossing his fingers that one gets approved before Election Day.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence visited vaccine development sites on Monday, marking the beginning of the largest vaccine research trial yet. Their trips to North Carolina and Florida, respectively, come as the White House is grappling with its most prominent virus case since the crisis begin and a nationwide spike in the virus.

"We’re doing well on vaccines, we’re doing well on therapeutics. And now I’m heading to North Carolina to look exactly at that,” Trump said as he departed the White House.

Privately, many White House officials have pinned their reelection hopes on the potential emergence of a vaccine for the coronavirus, believing it to be the ultimate “October surprise.” Some believe Trump may well be doomed without one, and that even with one, it may be too late to save his fortunes with so many Americans expected to vote before Election Day on Nov. 3.

-------------

The political imperative for Trump has sparked concerns among members of Congress that Trump could try to take shortcuts in the approval process. Administration experts have dismissed those concerns, with Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn telling reporters Monday that the FDA “will not cut corners" to evaluate a vaccine.

Under the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed vaccine program, multiple COVID-19 vaccines are being developed simultaneously with a goal of delivering 300 million safe and effective doses by January 2021.

1. Heh, most anti-vaxers are his supporters

Good luck with that strategy doofus.

2. Unless the vaccine can raise the dead, I doubt it will help him much.

3. Is he going to bring back the 150,000+ number that keeps growing?

Unless that Orange motherfucker can resurrect all the lives he is responsible for taking, no washing that blood from his hands.

Heard he has a doctor friend though now from Houston that can cure "witchcraft" and COVID (with a product thoroughly proven NOT to work), maybe she also knows a way to bring back the dead?

I was thinking maybe the doctor got her "witchcraft" patients mixed up with her COVID patients and that is why all the patients ended up "cured' from COVID.

- sorry to bring up the other topic , not trying to thread-jack.

4. Trump is gambling here with human lives in order to stay out of PRISON...

Because that is where he and his corrupt cronies are going after Jan.20,2021.

[PSPS]

5. Most people I know say they won't take any vaccine approved under this administration. They all lie.

The CDC has been corrupted by the toady Redfield and the FDA was already captured decades ago.

6. Vaccines take years to perfect.

Expert, Laurie Garret was on the 11th Hour this past evening and she said things that struck me as eye opening. She was asked about a vaccine to combat this virus. She stated that there is not enough research as to how long antibodies live after infection. That any vaccine will take years of human trials, and may not be permanent, say like Measles.

Because this virus is so new and ever changing in who it infects and kills, Ms. Garret was brutally honest in what she said that a vaccine cannot be rushed.

7. Any vaccine touted by Trump will be distrusted (rightly, due to his past mendacity)

You blew your miracle-shot credibility on hydroxychloroquine, you dumb bastard!

[duforsure]

9. Know one will trust Dr. Frankentrump again,

After doing nothing when he knew it was coming , and knew it would kill people. He's still putting out disinformation on this virus , and using racial slurs. No one will take any vaccine he claims is the answer , he lies too much.

[brewens]

8. Wouldn't any president have pulled out all the stops to get a vaccine as quickly as possible

in this situation? Of course any other president wouldn't have created as desperate a situation as we are facing now.

[beachbumbob]

10. I and all the people I know will NOT take any vaccine thats been rushed to the public as

its a PR stunt over having something legitimately developed. We trust NOTHING that this administration says or does. NOTHING, including a COVID vaccine.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. I think we are better off developing better treatments in the short term

And vaccinations in the long term.

[obamanut2012]

13. I 100% agree with you on this

[Docreed2003]

12. When his Secretary of HHS said in an interview

They were pushing for the release of a vaccine regardless of efficacy or safety profile, it became totally transparent that this was their plan for their "October surprise". I don't think it will work, at least I hope it won't.

[malaise]

14. How many times doe the King of Cons get to con people

Good effin' grief, this is more BS. Yesterday's shitshow could have been called recycling lies on steroids.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, Trump brags about passing dementia test anything related to him should be dismissed

[tanyev]

15. Ooh, Donny learned a new big boy word--therapeutics.

Dr. Birx must have worked with him a long time on that.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. So for Trump it's not about saving lives

But how it benefits him.

[ellie]

18. Really?

The people who think COVID-19 is a hoax are going to allow themselves to be vaccinated? I think this plan has not been thought through.
