I know you're attempting to be a faux intellectual here, playing the "both sides" argument when it comes to Trump, and his credit for this vaccine.

What I find facinating though, should you not hold Trump to his prior stances which would be completely antithetical to reaching such a vaccine?

Back in 2016, Trump professed and attempted to enact a ban on all immigration from Muslim, and other "shithole" countries.

The couple that founded the vaccine are from Turkey, which as you know is a Muslim country:

To think if Germany had not allowed immigration from this Muslim country, perhaps we would not be seeing this vaccine as of today. In Trump's vision of the world, this doctor would never had a spot in a Western society.

Don't you think Trump's views are quite antithetical to in relation to the actual doctors that founded this same vaccine he's now attempting to take credit for? If he is to take credit for the vaccine, should he also not be held to his views on immigration which if were enacted, would go against the vaccine's finding in the first place?

You don't find that amusing to any degree?
Huh Turkey is 99% Muslim, yet it was oddly never included as a country Trump restricted access to the US from.
I see it wasn't on the list of countries Obama restricted entry from either. You know, the same list Trump derived his from? The list that wasn't a Muslim ban when Obama implemented it?
