The doctors have been saying for MONTHS that we wouldn’t have a vaccine until the end of the year/early next year. He just chose to brush them off.

He’s on tape telling Faucci in July that we would have a vaccine in a few “weeks”. The man is delusional, he has created his own reality and found a group of people to believe it.

He failed to do that when claiming that a US death toll between 100,000 and 200,000 that would represent a "very good job." He rarely makes that mistake being the adept carnival barker that he is.
