After promising reports from both Moderna and Pfizer have shown their vaccines to be over 90% effective Democrats still aren’t satisfied. Operation Warp Speed, the public-private partnership produce by the Trump administration, has played a significant factor in helping advance research for a vaccine to combat the virus but now Democrats are complaining the process is moving “too fast.”
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo claims that the only two reasons the progress of the vaccine has moved so quickly are: money and ego. Obviously, the first drug company to produce a reliable vaccine to combat Covid is going to run into some big money.
Townhall reports:
“President, it’s ego. On the way out the door he wants to be able to say, ‘I solved COVID because I discovered a vaccine. Nah, it’s all BS. He didn’t do anything,” Cuomo continued.
“It’s the drug companies and nobody is going to trust him saying it’s a safe vaccine. But you’re going to see this play out, they’ll do what’s called an emergency authorization by the FDA.”
He continued: “I think that could happen as soon as January where the FDA, because Trump will push them, will say we authorized the drug for emergency use, and you could see it starting in January before Biden gets into office and that’s why I’m pushing so hard to make sure that we have a process in place to check what the FDA says before people start getting the vaccine in New York.”
President Trump called the New York Governor out for his decision to delay using the upcoming vaccine.
….We cannot waste time and can only give to those states that will use the Vaccine immediately. Therefore the New York delay. Many lives to be saved, but we are ready when they are. Stop playing politics!

It’s clear Democrats are willing to put politics ahead of American’s health as long as they can try and pin it on President Trump. Their pathetic “never-Trump” mentality is becoming ridiculous, it’s time Democrats put pride aside and face the facts that President Trump is doing and has done everything in his power to help America through this pandemic.
