Donald Trump did not invent or develop the vaccines to combat Covid-19, despite his claim he should receive the credit. Ironically, immigrants played the crucial role in developing the vaccines, a group Trump as president has vilified. It’s fair to say if Trump administration immigration policies had been in place years earlier, including policies on international students, employment-based immigrants and H-1B and L-1 visa holders, the individuals instrumental in making the Covid-19 vaccines a reality would never have lived or worked in America.

After the recent election, Trump alleged that Pfizer withheld the results of the vaccine trials to hurt him politically, even though the pharmaceutical company did not receive the results of the trials until November 8, five days after Election Day (November 3). The following week, Moderna received the results of its vaccine trials. Both trials showed “vaccine efficacy” (effectiveness) of over 90%. The companies await emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to begin vaccine distribution.

On Thanksgiving, after alleging fraud in the general election, Trump took credit for the vaccines. “Trump also glancingly addressed the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed at least 262,000 people in the United States, though mainly to brag,” reported Josh Dawsey of the Washington Post. In the Oval Office, Trump said, “The vaccines – and by the way, don’t let Joe Biden take credit for the vaccine. .?.?. Don’t let him take credit for the vaccines, because the vaccines were me.” (Emphasis added.)


The evidence shows Donald Trump had no role in creating the vaccines to fight Covid-19. There is nothing in the record that warrants him taking “credit” for the vaccines. A review of events shows immigrants and immigrant-led companies created the vaccines.

In January 2020, Moderna’s French-born CEO Stéphane Bancel, who came to the U.S. as an international student and later immigrated to America, led the company to design a Covid-19 vaccine in two days. On February 24, 2020, the company announced the release of “the first batch of mRNA-1273, the company’s vaccine against the novel coronavirus, for human use.” Vials were shipped to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a Phase 1 study.

2. Tramp

deserves ALL the credit for the virus, the mayhem, the deaths, the heart wrenching misery. He deserves absolute zero for the vaccine.

3. Of course he takes credit for the productive work of others.

Same way he blames others for his failures.

It's all about him. Never wrong. Always right.

He's a phony, a fake, a fraud. He's fool's gold - the superficial masquerading as the real thing. And only fools buy into it. That includes Trump himself.

5. Joe Biden won't take credit for the vaccine because...

he isn't a scientist and he didn't develop a vaccine. Psst, neither did you you orange piece of (*(_

You just happened to be sitting in the oval office while the scientists did the work.

6. Now why would he take credit for a vaccine created to eliminate a plague that he says is a hoax??

Logically, that would contradict the hoax claim. But then, logic is not a word we apply to the murdering, orange traitor. Or his cult.

I would love to hear a reporter ask him that.
