Trump also inaccurately accused the Obama administration of making no effort to stop abusive policing

Fact Check: Trump Praises Scientists for Coming Up With an AIDS Vaccine That Does Not Exist — Seizing on a medical milestone that doesn’t exist, President Donald Trump said Tuesday he thinks the same scientific expertise that produced a vaccine for AIDS can deliver one soon for COVID-19, too. There is no vaccine for AIDS.

THE FACTS: No one has come up with a vaccine for AIDS, nor is there a cure. Nearly 38,000 people were diagnosed with HIV infection in the U.S. and about 1.7 million globally in 2018, according to the latest totals. In addition, taking certain anti-HIV drugs every day also can work as prevention, dramatically reducing the chances that someone who is still healthy becomes infected through sex or injection drug use. A small fraction of the Americans who might benefit use that so-called “pre-exposure prophylaxis.”

AP FACT CHECK: Trump on an AIDS vaccine that doesn't existPresident Trump inaccurately says an AIDS vaccine exists while predicting a coronovirus vaccine by the end of 2020, and falsely accuses the Obama administration of making no effort to stop abusive policing, an APFactCheck finds. And yet anyone who isn't a complete and utter dolt knows that he immediately corrected himself and said therapeutics. Don't let actual facts get in the way of your 'fact check' and1grad He’s not inaccurate, he’s just making shit up as he goes along. Probably doesn’t know if it’s true or not.

Fact check: No, N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particlesAmid many debates over mask usage, a recent post on Facebook made the assertion that the coronavirus is smaller than the filter on the N95 mask, so the N95 mask doesn’t work. Here is the fact check on this claim: I think certain people actually love the mask wearing, mask making, and mask sewing groups and all the rest. Some of us have lives outside of 'masks' though. Masks are useless USA Today: Always use a double negative when you want to be crystal clear and avoid any confusion. Also throw in the phrase, 'to stop' for added clarity. Then prefix everything with 'Fact check:'... 'Fact check: No, N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particles'
