They [Pfizer] delayed the announcement to three days after the elections. I'm sure those three days were critical in testing and making the vaccine safe for the consumer./s
It was an obvious political move to deny back-then US president Trump a public success as a consequence from him enacting "Operation Warp Speed".[0][1][2]
Also, "Trumpista"? You must feel really clever and enlightened.

- selimthegrim 5y agoI live in New Orleans where unvaccinated cases are exploding and people in surrounding areas specifically cite Democrats as a reason not to take the vaccine. I’ll stand by my words. And I’m not fan of Pfizer trying to make vaccine policy by press release but didn’t one of the companies turn down Warp Speed money to avoid this perception?
- nradov 5y agoAll of the vaccines used in the US received funding through Operation Warp Speed. J&J and Moderna got R&D money and production orders. Pfizer only got production orders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed?wprov=sfl...
