It’s no secret Democrats don’t want a vaccine to COVID-19 until after the election.
They darn sure don’t want President Donald Trump to receive credit for it.
So you can bet that a handful of top liberal talk show stars would reject any vaccine coming from the White House. And that’s exactly what happened. “The View’s” Joy Behar insisted that she would not, under any circumstances, be taking any immunization.
Until …
” … after Ivanka takes it.”
The first daughter gladly accepted the challenge offered to her.
“Deal @JoyVBehar,” Ivanka Trump wrote on a Twitter post.
“I would come on your show to do so. I trust the FDA and so should all Americans. Vanquishing this virus should be our collective top priority.”

Despite the reality television stars and Hollywood celebrities sowing distrust among the American public, there is real work being done to produce a safe and effective vaccine.
Townhall notes Dr. Anthony Fauci’s analysis: That there are 6 current candidates for a successful vaccine and, as of Friday, 3 are underway in their respective phase 3 trials. In a recent interview, the former White House coronavirus task force leader said that a vaccine could be “likely” developed by the end of the year.
He likewise said it was not “impossible” that an immunization could be ready by November 3rd, but it was unlikely.
Experts agree: The faster the vaccine, the better.
But critics have noted that it surely does seem like liberals and Democrats alike across the country want to draw this thing out until after the election. If the Trump administration were to find a way to distribute a safe vaccine before 2020 is decided, it would be stunning.
And the Democrats — all out of political plays — might resort to criticizing Trump for helping America get back to normal too quickly.
