After delivering an experimental Covid vaccine at Star Trek “warp speed” (Trump must have come up with that one), Trump now is concerned about all the booster shots, which he sees as just money making. Didn’t this occur to him at the time? Probably not as he is not the sharpest syringe in the rack. No doubt he was playing his stupid art of the deal, where there are simplistic business answers to everything.
"Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that vaccine booster shots aren’t medically necessary and instead are being pushed by pharmaceutical companies purely for profit.
“That sounds to me like a money-making operation for Pfizer,” Trump, who was secretly vaccinated last January at the White House, told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “Think of the money involved. An extra shot … How good a business is that? If you’re a pure businessman, you’d say, ‘you know what, let’s give them another shot,’ that’s another $10 billion of money coming in – the whole thing is crazy.”
On Wednesday, the US government announced it will begin offering booster shots in late September and recommend that most people take a third shot 8 months after their second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
Trump, who also told Bartiromo he is “very proud” of the vaccines, suggested that scientists’ and pharmaceutical companies’ guidance on vaccines hasn’t been informed by science. And he falsely claimed that Pfizer and BioNTech announced it had developed its vaccine one day after the 2020 presidential election. In reality, Pfizer announced its vaccine candidate was effective almost a week after the election. Its CEO has insisted that the timing of the company’s announcement was unrelated to politics.
“You wouldn’t think you would need a booster,” Trump said. “You know, when these first came out, they were good for life. Then they were good for a year or two. And I could see the writing on the wall, I could see the dollar signs in their eyes of that guy that runs Pfizer. You know, the guy that announced the day after the election that he had the vaccine.”’
Like with the destruction of America, Trump left everything, too late.
