https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/trump-puts-pressure-on-authorities-to-develop-vaccine-before-election/US President Donald Trump put pressure on the authorities to develop and approve a vaccine for the novel coronavirus in a tweet on Saturday.The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives! Trump tweeted.The tweet was directed at Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Pretty soon he will be demanding that the FDA cooperate with Putin to test his dodgy vaccine on Americans.

Trump will announce a vaccine just before the election regardless.

He will announce there is a vaccine even if there isn't.

Absolutely no time to prove if they are safe and effective before the election.

Though if he told them to they would probably abandon this new tenet.
