President Trump today suggested Kamala Harris is sabotaging a prospective coronavirus vaccine for political ends. 'She's talking about disparaging a vaccine, so people don't think the achievement was a great achievement,' Trump said
over the holiday weekend that she would not necessarily trust a vaccine approved by the Trump administration before Election Day, unless a "credible" source agreed it was safe.on quixotic promises to deliver a vaccine quickly, suggesting it could come before the election even as his own science officials including the head of the administration's "Operation Warp Speed" contradict him. He repeated those claims at his news conference.
The president on Monday again grabbed credit for what would be a major accomplishment of approving an effective vaccine in record time -- even though scientists and nations around the world are all racing for a shot. He referenced the threat to public health if Americans are reluctant to try the vaccine when it comes out.
"She's talking about disparaging a vaccine, so people don't think the achievement was a great achievement," Trump said. "I don't want the achievement for myself. I want something that will make people better."With the election fast approaching, the Covid-19 vaccine was always going to be political as the president made it clear he wanted a shot by election day.
