President Trump Signs COVID Vaccine Executive Order

[txradioguy]

The President signed an executive order Tuesday, ensuring the American people will receive a COVID-19 vaccine before the U.S. starts aiding other countries. This falls in line with the administration’s ‘America First’ policy, which has been followed throughout the President’s time in office.

On Thursday, an FDA panel will be meeting with vaccine-makers Pfizer and BioNtech to decide whether to grant them Emergency Use Authorization. Last week, sources said the vaccine developed by those companies could be approved as early as Friday.

Additionally, the FDA is planning to discuss Moderna’s vaccine on December 17.

Versus Biden who would have spread the vaccine across the world in an SJW equitable manner.  Many addtional Americans will have died accordingly.

That's the same excuse Cuomo the Lesser is using to not immediately accept the vaccine when it's ready.  He wants to make sure there is an "equitable distribution to black and brown people"

As I posted in this thread, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,422086.0.html , yesterday:

Provided that Pfizer, Moderna, and other vaccine vendors meet the numbers and schedule of their contracts with the US this would not preclude those companies from selling what they might produce beyond those contracted amounts. I the cases of Pfizer and Moderna, both have manufacturing capacity in the US plus significant additional manufacturing capacity/partners in EuroLand and possibly in Asia. Both companies also have contracts with countries besides the US. This is a very long way of saying that the US is not selfishly hogging all these companies produce.

This is an Executive Order, which means Biden could alter or retract it. But what it does is draw a line in the sand, and if Biden crosses the line - i.e. significantly alters or retracts Trump's E.O. - he cannot do it quietly. If Biden acts against US citizens' interests it will be public. Further, if Biden alters/retracts Trump's E.O. he will be on the record as having significantly altered the distribution plan of OWS and Biden will "own" the consequences of his alteration.

As for "equitable distribution", each individual state coordinates that. OWS set up partnerships with large pharmacy chains, associations of indy pharmacies, etc., but it is up to states to utilize and coordinate those distribution relationships. Cuomo's just grandstanding and possibly delaying/discombobulating distribution within NY.
