Would you believe a Trump announcement of a vaccine ready by November 3rd?

Depends on what you mean by 'ready'.

It's possible - though I doubt it - that we'll have a vaccine ready by that time.

Will it be ready for mass distribution, enough to make any real difference in day-to-day life? That, I find much less likely.

Other people have been saying 'November or December' for the vaccine for months now. A quick search brought up the same claims from Dr. Fauci back as early as May and every month since going forward. Hardly anyone had an issue with it until it came from Trump's lips.

Because Trump isn't a scientist, nor does he listen to scientists.

If Trump announces that a vaccine will be ready by election day (Nov 3rd), would you believe it?

Why does it matter? It's still in the time frame of in the next few months and not leaving people hopeless of something like two years. There's the question of who will get the vaccine first, elderly, first responders but the delivery target for all is still very, very good.

You and I are listening to different people.

Fauci said that a vaccine would be proven *demonstrably safe* by November or December. But available for distribution? Not any earlier than March.

Still not a bad time frame.

The left for the most part are the only ones that have a problem here. I watched Wolf asking Nancy about this peace deal Trump did and was not that a good thing? She says.. Yes.. it was a great detraction. So going on the end of 4 years now.. its at least clear to me president Trump does in fact care about America.

So why would I doubt this if he said it? Well I have watched .. well if we just go from 2016 to right now.. I've seen the so many in Congress and the major left media lie and? Its ok! I know some that post here do not post the facts about President Trump.

So I would believe president Trump over ANY one on the left

I think it is because it is a clear attempt to get votes by Donald, and it is tiring to keep seeing stunts like this from a President that is support to have the wellfair of the nation at heart.

Well if God worked with Trump to split the Red Sea in the time of Moses would Nancy say the same thing?...."It's a great distraction"

I might believe it; I wouldn't recommend taking it. Everyone knows vaccines take years to get established, not months. We covered that module when we were in school. I was 8 or 9 I think...

I can understand the alpha-macho NEED to fix things right away, to wave your hands around like you're guiding a plane in, and to make promises (or statements) - but it doesn't always work like that. Viruses and vaccines don't care how bellicose you are, or even how successful you are, they're not capable of critical thought. (Oh, that'll be the next claim "COVID can read your mind; it knows when you're sleeping.")

This is (and has always been) a defending game. Unfortunately, it's not always in a politician's nature to play defensive. (Which, again. I can understand.)

Emotional intelligence and strategy is what will do it. Chasing results for next Thursday and analysing numbers, won't.

It would never get to that point. Trump wouldn’t have left Egypt.

Why are you defending Trump? Isn't he one of the evil round earth conspiracists? If anyone would be privy to the secret that the earth is actually flat, it would be the POTUS. He even wants to make a 'Space Force'. Isn't he working for Satan by advocating that?

Anyway, as for the vaccine, I'll wait until it's tested and proven effective before believing it, no matter who claims it.

I would hope he is right.

Didn't he already make that announcement?

I wouldn't believe Trump that the sky is blue without double checking.

Right. I don’t know why the pharaoh would want to part the Red Sea...

Wishful thinking! What first-hand evidence is this based on?

Or maybe Trump winning in 2016 was like the miracle of Egypt? Against all odds he took the country a different direction. And winning in 2020 will be like the miracle at the Red Sea?

Always thought the mockery of Ann Coulter in 15 was pretty interesting when she held to a position that Trump would win. She was laughed and mocked at that there was NO possibility for it to occur. It would take a miracle I guess they thought. Observe the audience's reaction at the very possibility of such! Could history be ready to repeat itself?

It was no more a miracle than anyone winning the Presidency. Unless you want to call the Electoral College a miracle.

Also, it strikes me as a strange thing to admit, that Trump could only win through divine intervention. I imagine you don’t think Obama had that, but he still pulled it off twice.
