President Donald Trump on Saturday accused the “deep state” in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of delaying a vaccine for the coronavirus.

“The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics,” Trump wrote on Twitter, specifically calling out FDA administrator Dr. Stephen Hahn.

He accused “deep state” bureaucrats of delaying the vaccine for political reasons.

“Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd,” Trump wrote. “Must focus on speed, and saving lives!”

It is unclear where Trump got information about the difficulty for pharmaceutical companies to get test subjects.

Report challenges Fauci's lockdown theories. Fact-Checking Fauci, the primary architect of the Trump administration’s COVID response, painted a bleak picture about the EEUU's ability to contain the pandemic.

In recent congressional testimony Dr. Anthony Fauci, the primary architect of the Trump administration’s COVID response, painted a bleak picture about the United States’s ability to contain the pandemic. According to Fauci’s narrative, the United States is experiencing a resurgence in regional COVID outbreaks because it failed to sufficiently lock down back in March, and failed to comply with the existing lockdown orders. Fauci specifically contrasted this situation to several European states that imposed lockdowns around the same time, claiming the latter as a successful model for COVID containment.

Coronaphobia is more dangerous than virus. We Need a Principled Anti-Lockdown Movement

Shell-shocked is a good way to describe the mood in the U.S. for a good part of the Spring of 2020. Most of us never thought it could happen here. I certainly did not, even though I’ve been writing about pandemic lockdown plans for 15 years. I knew the plans were on the shelf, which is egregious, but I always thought something would stop it from happening. The courts. Public opinion. Bill of Rights. Tradition. The core rowdiness of American culture. Political squeamishness. The availability of information.

Something would prevent it. So I believed. So most of us believed.

The left lies about coronavirus. BEWARE: Democrats Are Pushing These Four COVID-19 Lies.

Beware of three widely circulating COVID-19-related lies and the partisan motives behind them. These lies are dangerous to your children and how you cope with this virus.

Lie No. 1: "The United States' response stands out as among the worst of any country." House Majority Whip James Clyburn leveled that charge, as he kicked off a hearing Friday into the virus.

Don't buy it. A staggering 183,639 Europeans have died from the virus as of Monday. Deaths per capita have been far higher in the U.K., Spain and Italy than in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins. After a lull, cases are spiking in several European countries.
