    No.

    You can say you have a working vaccine.

    What you can't say is that there are no side effects.

    Duh.

    This is where I diverge from my posts. I saw similar reaction to avian flu (I think) After quite a long time pharmaceutical companies announce they have a vaccine and governments began stock pilling vaccines paying a huge sum to pharmaceutical companies. These vaccines were never used and just went past use by date. Meanwhile many people made a lot of money out of the scare. The epidemic just naturally stopped without any need for a vaccine

    I didn't call the Republicans racist. Racists called Republicans racists.

    Also, I know you really like Rasmussen Daily, but I will just remind you to use the average of polls.

    At this point in 2012, Obama had a 48.1-48.1 (even) average on RCP. Trump has a 46.4-50.4 (-4) average on RCP.

    What are you going on about? The only one I've seen mention 14 months is you. Your link does not say 14 months. And 14 months is not now.

    Is a vaccine that causes death or severe disability a working vaccine?

    Like I said, a bullet also kills a virus in the petri-dish.

    Oh I see, you are lacking information that you're trying to talk about.

    Trump mentioned the 14 months at the press conference. You may want to at least read the bullet points for the discussion.

    LoL leftists want something now. We know. Trust me, we know.

    so far he is light years ahead of that mess

    Right.

    You called it a lie when the "expert" said it was 14 months away, and Trump mentioned we would have it "soon".

    You not knowing that the normal development time averages 10 years, called it a "lie".

    Boring.

    Get a better memory then. It was your point, I just asked you to explain the point you thought you were making.

    I have a great memory, actually.

    I just make a point of not remembering things that make me squint.

    Yes. "At least 14 months away" and "fairly rapidly" are different.

    Almost as different as you saying "Trump mentioned 14 months" and "Trump did not mention 14 months" are different.

    LoL.

    What do you think Trump meant when someone says "we'll have it in 14 months" and then he says "yeah we'll have it soon".

    We could have it tomorrow and this thread of moaning and bitching would still exist.
