A Fox News correspondent suggested naming the Covid vaccine after Trump – 7 deadly takedowns
Here’s Geraldo Rivera who is – Google, Google – correspondent-at-large at Fox News. We only mention him because he had an idea about Donald Trump and the emerging vaccine to tackle Covid-19.
Specifically, he thinks they should name the vaccine after Trump to make the so-called president feel a bit better about losing the election to Joe Biden.
And it might be the most Fox News thing we’ve seen.
To soften the blow of defeat Fox’s Geraldo proposes naming the vaccine after Trump. “It would be a nice gesture to him and years from now it would become kind of a generic name. Have you got your trump yet, I got my trump, I’m fine. I wished we could honor him in that way.” pic.twitter.com/fM8qwFhxF6

Feel soiled just watching it. There was no shortage of responses, as you might imagine, and these 7 takedowns were among the deadliest.

Geraldo and Fox & Friends trying to bargain with Trump to concede by suggesting that the COVID vaccine be called "The Trump" is super fucked up, especially since over a quarter of a million people have been "Trumped" by his ineptitude. pic.twitter.com/e8Ijv81pMX

vaccine.He has killed 260,000 Americans.
He has earned that right. #TrumpsVirus #KidVicious

Sir @realDonaldTrump you loyal and obedient followers are proposing naming the glorious vaccine in your honor to commemorate your abject and humiliating defeat at the hands of the great American people. https://t.co/GfGlncTY5Z

OR…@GeraldoRivera could give Trump a pity handjob, which would be 230% less demeaning than this video. https://t.co/SdjLpV6Xhf

How about we name the tombstone above the grave of the 250,000 Americans who died from Covid because he was too much of a “macho man” to listen to scientists a “Trumpstone”?

I’ll repeat what I tweeted recently. It is simply amazing how much we hear about white folks’ feelings and emotional state after they’ve done some heinous shit. https://t.co/1UoaU9uaeD

Although thinking about it …
Calling it the Trump Vaccine would mean that Trump is a disease. Geraldo’s got a point.
The Polio Vaccine
The Herpes Vaccine
The Trump Vaccine…— Saint Jax (@cajunsicily) November 20, 2020
