(52,392 posts)this is a variant on the rooster taking credit for the sun rising. a vaccine is effectively impossible before the election, and may not happen in the next presidential term. in fact, it may not happen ever. hiv is not a fair comparison, but it first infected a human 60 years ago and there's still no vaccine for that.
but it sets up the stupid argument that, after biden gets elected and the vaccine doesn't materialize, then right-wing can pretend that it somehow would have under donnie. you know, because, reasons.
