Trump began by talking about the good news about vaccines that arrived this week. He has not yet mentioned the electoral defeat in a word.
He also refused to answer questions from the press.
– In the past nine months, we have made the largest effort in American history to find a vaccine, Trump says.
It is a medical breakthrough. Incredible numbers, Trump continues.
He says that he has called several heads of state to congratulate him on the Pzifer vaccine, which is a private company.
According to Trump, the United States has paid $ 1.59 billion to the pharmaceutical giant to provide adequate vaccines to the American people.
– This happens five times faster than any vaccine ever made before. And it is thanks to my government. Another administration would not do the same, Trump said.
The president also said he would not shut down the United States, suggesting it depends on who controls the White House.
– I will never close the United States. That is a terrible thing. I will never do that. It’s nes … or we’ll see what happens. Time will tell who will occupy the White House in January. But I will never have a lockdown, says Trump.
To the governor of New York
Trump also said that he would make sure all Americans get the vaccine, except states like New York, because his governor, according to Trump, is negative about the vaccine.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, said after the vaccine that it was clear this was good news. At the same time, he expressed skepticism that it was the Trump administration that would implement the vaccine.
The governor has threatened to delay the launch of the vaccine in New York because he does not trust the president and believes that the process around him has turned into politics, not medicine.
– The bad news is that Biden is two months away from taking over, and that means Trump will implement the vaccine plan, Cuomo said.
He believes that the plan to implement the vaccine program is multifaceted and that Trump will benefit the states and communities that support him.
Now the president is fighting back.
– We will not vaccinate New York as long as Governor Cuomo does not believe a vaccine is safe, Trump said at the news conference.
Tonight’s press conference was the president’s first since Joe Biden was named the winner of the election by various outlets. Something that Trump still denies.
It’s also been two weeks since he last had a press conference, a new record for Trump, who has otherwise had frequent press meetings during his presidency.
Vaccine maker criticized
On Monday this week, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer declared that the vaccine they are working on appears to be more than 90 percent effective against the coronavirus.
After calling it good news, the president of the United States was much more critical. On Twitter, he wrote:
– They only wanted to announce a vaccine after the elections because before they did not have the courage to do so. Exactly the same as the health authorities. They should have announced it earlier. Not for political reasons, but to save lives.
Trump believes that neither the drug company nor the USFDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) would give him a presumed winner of the vaccine before the election.
