White House Repeatedly Turned Down More Vaccine

My guess is that one of the companies working on vaccines (likely as part of "Operation Warp Speed" ) has connections to Trump and he wants to use their vaccine whenever it's ready (or close enough to fake it) so that the big buy will dump money into his own pocket and he'll take all the credit for it without the company debunking him like Pfizer did.

Hmmm, that last bit might factor into it too. It's not like he needs it, so he might as well indulge his innate pettiness.
