The thought experiment is fascinating.

Say, the United States votes Trump in for a 2nd term. And he goes on a media blitz to convince people to not take the China vaccine.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world takes it. The vaccine is ultimately successful, and Covid-19 is effectively eliminated.

What will happen to the United States? Will the virus continue to ravage the country and the economy? Meanwhile, the rest of the world begins their economic recovery.

Never could I imagine that this idea would even be a probability. But yet, here we are.

Why would he do that? He's in the pockets of big pharma. The president is pretty much a puppet. Both Biden and Trump will push any vaccine presented to them by the big pharma giants (Gavi/Gates/GSK/Bayer/etc.) because that's the base that supports them. Biden and Trump may promote different vaccines from different companies, but it's just depends on which one gets elected and which particular giants are backing that candidate.

Does that need to be hypothesized about? Of course he will win.

If you like your Chinese vaccine you can take your Chinese vaccine.

The more people want it, the less value it has for people not eager to take it.
