Trump created a monster with his constant lying and manipulation about Covid. He wouldn't mask up, the pandemic would go away "any day now", he wanted people back in church by Easter (pandemics typically last five years!), "if we stop counting cases, it doesn't exist", etc. By the time the vaccines arrived, his moronic followers had created a whole universe of conspiracy theories about them and refused to get vaxxed. Many of them lost their jobs and even their lives to these delusions. (Enough MAGA chuds died in Georgia that it was a factor in a Democratic victory that year!).
Here's an event where Trump had a lot of trouble "reading the room", as the kids say, and the MAGA chuds booed him for recommending they get vaxxed. After a couple of these clips went viral (pun intended), Trump stopped bragging about his "Warp Speed" initiative. (In reality, several drug companies didn't even take the Warp Speed money, as it came with the usual Federal red tape).
