MI Joins States Refusing An Inadequately Vetted But Trump-Approved COVID Vaccine

The State of Michigan said that it would not agree to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine absent adequate data from the federal government, joining a growing list of states that would refuse to dole out a vaccine if they believe it was approved on a political schedule.

The state’s health department told TPM on Friday that it would not agree to distribute a vaccine that received federal approval without completing safety and efficacy trials or without approval from an independent board of scientists.

Instead, a spokeswoman said, the state wants to review the data before agreeing to distribute the vaccine.

“Before making decisions on the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine in Michigan, we would need to evaluate the efficacy and safety data regarding any approved vaccine,” Lynn Sutfin, spokeswoman for the health department, told TPM on Friday.

She added that the state “would hope there would be transparency at the federal level regarding that data so we can make an informed decision.”

Trump and Co. do not really care at all about how many people get infected or have potential life-long disabilities or die, as we all know.

Why would we even consider trusting anything at all he pushes or approves? That's would be about his base, generally ignorant and gullible and we are not in that social cesspool.

We also know what the only motive is. Who doesn't? Well, the easily duped people in the red hats perhaps.

We won't be led like sheep to slaughter.
