Why Trump's rhetoric on vaccines is so hard to take seriously

"I'm rushing it. I am. I'm pushing everybody," Trump told Rivera of the push for a vaccine. Trump also claimed a vaccine wouldn't be ready for "two years" if a different president were in office.

The funny thing about vaccine development is that presidential"rushing" and"pushing" is irrelevant. The president may not realize this, but upbraiding people doesn't make the development, testing, and distribution process any faster. I'm trying to imagine Trump's perceptions about this works. Perhaps he imagines a group of scientists sitting around saying,"Well, I was going to take my time, lazily going about the search for a safe and effective vaccine for this deadly virus, but since Trump is 'rushing it,' I won't take that three-hour lunch break after all."

Perhaps Trump thinks he can spur development of a vaccine by upbraiding people. It's also possible that he sees his upbraiding skills as somehow unique. The likelihood of Trump personally taking credit for the development of a vaccine, whenever one might emerge, is roughly 100%.
