Yeah, I'm just saying had nothing to do with this vaccine. Pfizer and a German company developed it. When pence tried to claim that trump was the reason that the vaccine had gotten this far, Pfizer was pretty quick to correct that.
Politicians typically aren't very helpful to scientists, especially the current administration which has repeatedly tried to deny basic science and discredit highly educated professionals.
If the government invests in a successful vaccine so that it can be distributed, then that's fantastic. But they did basically nothing to help develop the vaccine (and might've even inhibited the development of a vaccine by denying COVID for so long).
Even a considerable number of random people don't take COVID seriously, don't wear masks, don't social distance, and hold big parties. No wonder the US is at nearly 200,000 new cases per day. It's really sad. I wish people would grow up and follow basic instructions to help protect others instead of acting like petty children all the time.
Stay safe y'all
