The media said no way would we have a vaccine until late 2021 or into 2022. The left and their media also said the vaccine will be 50% effective at most. Now it turns out Trump was right and here is the vaccine and it's 90% effective. Wow! Just Wow!
He's also said things like the virus would go POOF! and disappear in warmer weather, that we'd have a "far better than the ACA" plan in place soon after he took office, that he'd form an 'immigration force' that would quickly rid the nation of 11,000,00 illegals, and that N Korea was no longer a nuclear threat.
He seems to operate on his own version of: The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.
i.e. Promise anything and everything, pat yourself on the back for those that come true and deny ever saying the ones that don't.
Everyone knew a vaccine was coming before the end of the year so I don't know why people are acting surprised.
Even if this was announced before the election it still wouldn't have saved Trump since most people were voting him out based on his personal conduct and behavior.

15million minks have been culled because of a new variant of CoVid.
Now we are adjusting what Trump said. Trump said that the military would be deployed and a vaccine distributed by the end of October.
Now we may have the vaccine finalized by the end of the year but there is nothing to suggest they will be ready for mass production and distribution until 2021...but somehow Trump was right.

I'm thinking people happily ignore the fact scientific trials take as long as they take and that time doesn't change because of politics.
Of course IF Trump had started pressing for vaccine development when he first learned of the looming deadly virus rather than doing nothing but whine about China, the vaccine may well have been tested and announced sooner than it was.

He made his own bed, let him sleep there.
Mitch and his cadre won't let him sleep anywhere until his usefulness as a sacrificial "dog whistle" to restore their coffers of money wasted on his failed ego-bolster rally tour.
The sooner his simpering acolytes get out their check books and rebuild the Republican war chest, the sooner this Trump circus can pack up and leave town in the middle of the night.

The timing does look suspicious, but "looks suspicious" doesn't mean this was a conspiracy to keep the vaccine from the public.
Anyone who's been paying attention has seen that this vaccine testing was marching forward quickly, and was looking very promising.
A company is NOT going to hold back on the ENORMOUS profits they will reap, and watch people die, just so one candidate will win.
That's not how big business works.
