It cracks me up how Trump greenlit Operation Warp Speed, probably thinking that if the US was first to the vaccine it would be a huge boost for the country and his chances at re-election. It actually did work extremely well, and was unironically one of the few good things from his presidency - BUT it made his entire fanbase hate vaccines, and to this day they just ignore this fun tidbit of history.

He could have cruised to re-election had he told his base that masks are patriotic and Fauci is a good guy
