Donald Trump Jr saw an anti-Trump conspiracy behind Pfizer’s Covid vaccine – only 5 responses you need

Without getting too much ahead of ourselves, lots of people were very much cheered up today by reports that Pfizer had developed a Covid-19 vaccine that was 90% effective.

Not everyone was happy about it, though. Specifically, Donald Trump Jr, who didn’t just see a vaccine. He saw a big old conspiracy theory, coming soon after Joe Biden’s election win. Of course he did!

We probably shouldn’t be too surprised. @GaryLineker certainly wasn’t.

Great news if true, but prepare for bonkers conspiracy theories. https://t.co/bPDjAjy0Qy

Not everything is about your loser dad. I know that must be hard for you to grasp, but there it is. https://t.co/eJUSJIf5a9

We have no evidence they delayed the announcement. But because there's a 110% certainty that Trump would have taken credit for personally inventing a vaccine, I couldn't blame them if they did. Because no one should let Trump steal credit for what scientists he shits on do. https://t.co/4RtXRj06uA

When your world view is so toxic that news of a Covid-19 vaccine annoys you. https://t.co/COFy0amG6c

And if you want to know a little bit more about the timing …

The timing, explained, via Bloomberg: "Pfizer raced to verify the data, which were still blinded to almost everyone at the company.. Early on Sunday afternoon, an independent data monitoring committee.. met in a closed video session to review the results for the first time." https://t.co/fGmUslk0vf

To conclude.

A potential breakthrough from a German biotech didn’t come fast enough to help Junior’s daddy.
