> major network and cable news told them that the government's time line for getting a vaccine was a lie. The White House and Trump repeatedly claimed, publicly, that the vaccine would be available before the election in November 2020. That turned out to be very false. The media called out the lies and now you’re blaming the media for the administration’s lies and empty hope? Here is a link to remind you. * https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/516855-meadows-disputes-cdc-directors-vaccine-timeline https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/516855-meadows-d... The administration was attacking its own expert timelines from the CDC and FDA. Of course that made the media and other observers suspicious. “Meadows told reporters that the Trump administration is aiming to have 100 million vials ready for distribution to vulnerable populations, namely the elderly, by the end of October” * https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/519929-trump-lashes-out-after-fda-shares-vaccine-guidelines https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/519929-trump-las... “ New FDA Rules make it more difficult for them to speed up vaccines for approval before Election Day. Just another political hit job! @SteveFDA” - Donald Trump tweet In the end, the vaccine came out on the FDA timeline, rather than Trump and Mark Meadows successfully pressuring the FDA to release the vaccine early like Russia did with Sputnik V. Edit: added another supporting link.
