Trump attacks the FDA as 'Deep State' for running Phase 3 Vaccine Trials "they are hoping to delay"

Donald Trump must always ask himself ‘What would Putin do?’  Trump is green with envy after watching Putin boast about having a COVID-19 vaccine. This after Putin ordered Russian vaccine developers to skip the step of conducting Phase Three vaccine trials. Despite the whole rest of the world following the precautionary standard protocol of conducting Phase Three vaccine trials, with thousands of participants, over a period of months.  

Trump would rather have ANY vaccine immediately (for selfish political reasons), instead of insuring the vaccine is both safe and effective for all the diverse demographic, and ethnic and racial groups, who will receive the vaccine. 

But Trump, like Putin views the citizenry as expendable guinea pigs. Trump has a pattern of endangering Americans by following his gut, instead of following the recommendations of experts, with disastrous results for the nation.
 

Prudence is like Kryptonite to Trump. 

The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives! @SteveFDA

 Everywhere he looks paranoid Trump sees shadowy figures who are out to get him, willing to endanger Americans by withholding a vaccine (who in fact are public servants dedicated to protecting Americans).

The president’s dangerous and unhinged conspiracy theories continue to undermine our doctors and scientists and make it more difficult to respond to the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/zdaLrKCu0X

Since the start of the pandemic I have repeatedly called on the FDA to follow science and data alone in approving covid treatments and not give reject trump’s dangerous “miracle” cures. Trump’s lies and recklessness has killed people. pic.twitter.com/5lQHD0pSs4

Trump’s conspiracy theory of the moment is to accuse his own FDA of being deep state actors because they won’t recklessly rush an unsafe vaccine. Donald desperately wants his October Surprise to be a vaccine. And if more Americans die, he will just say “It is what is is”. https://t.co/Mw1NfOPOrw
