Donald Trump yesterday accused the US Food and Drug Administration, as well as drugmaker Pfizer, of not previously announcing a vaccine against Covid-19, to deny him "a vaccine victory, before elections ".
The @US_FDA and the Democrats did not want to have me get a Vaccine WIN, prior to the election, so instead it came out five days later - As I've said all along!

His comments came after Pfizer and German biotechnology company BioNTech announced that their coronavirus vaccine was more than 90% effective in clinical trials.
In a series of Twitter posts, Trump claimed that he had always known that "Pfizer and others would announce a vaccine only after the election" and that the Food and Drug Administration should have announced this earlier, "not for purposes political, but to save lives. ”
As I have long said, @Pfizer and the others would only announce a Vaccine after the Election, because they did not have the courage to do it before. Likewise, the @US_FDA should have announced it earlier, not for political purposes, but for saving lives!

He also claimed that the vaccine would not be available "for another four years if Joe Biden had been president".
If Joe Biden were President, you wouldn't have the Vaccine for another four years, nor would the @US_FDA have ever approved it so quickly. The bureaucracy would have destroyed millions of lives!

Trump gave no evidence to support his claim and his comment on Biden was despite the fact that the election results are already known .
