I read about this. Wow. Just - wow.

I think she also believes that big pharma is trying to develop a vaccine that would stop people becoming religious. Regardless of your opinion on religion, that's *really* out there.

I thinks it's that she thinks vaccines we have now cause atheism.

I think Nicolle Wallace said that the doctor Trump respected so much believes hydroxychloroquine cures covid19 and expelling demons cures endometriosis.

Some people have thought that Trump might try to announce the develpoment or work on a covid19 vaccination as an "October surprise" to help his re-election. "Morning Joe" contributors have spoken about this for a long time.

There are some problems for Trump with this (progress on a vaccine, should he make any) politically and for our country from a public health point of view. As one public health expert put it, the answer is not a vaccine, but vaccinations. There is no use having a vaccine against a disease if people will not take it. Trump has been supporting anti-vaxxers.

The vaccine as an October surprise may not work well with Trump's base. Anti-vaxxers can ruin the efficacy of a vaccine if its scarcity and the chaotic way in which it is distributed do not already do that job. That would have public health implications.

If Trump's supporters didn't trust a vaccines, it might not have effect Trump desired on them politically. I mean, they might not stand up and cheer.
