Pharmaceutical companies don’t have to be paid to make sure Trump gets egg on his face. Who actually believes that they are acting in good faith?

I am surprised that President Trump would make a declaration that a vaccine could be available in time for the election when that depends on a pharmaceutical company. It doesn’t sound like a good strategy on his part.

The pharmaceutical companies have every incentive to be the first with an approved product. The first one gets to sell as many doses as they can make. The last one out the door has no customers left because the disease is gone. This is for BILLIONS if not tens of billions of dollars. There are 7 billion doses needed worldwide. The first couple companies with a safe and effective product will make a FORTUNE. It’s a race to be on the podium.

Which makes his decision on Most Favored Nation and buying from Canada very interesting. It's almost as if he picked up on that and decided to declare war on them.
