8. Trump couldn't even get bottled water right.

If this vaccine "works", it would be the first success in Trump's life, other than obtaining loans through fraud and successfully laundering Russian money. So I won't be betting my life on the miracle of a sudden Trump success, not with the CDC and FDA in such a compromised state.

If we have a choice, say, that includes the WHO's vaccine, or a vaccine from Europe, Canada or Israel, I might opt for one of those.
