“@Pfizer and the others would only announce a Vaccine after the Election, because they didn’t have the courage to do it before. Likewise, the @US_FDA should have announced it earlier, not for political purposes”

FactCheck.org says: Pfizer has said the timing of its announcement was not politically motivated and was dictated only by science. The FDA hasn’t commented on the vaccine.

“Doctors are profiting by declaring "everybody dies of COVID”

“His chief of staff last week said, ‘We’re going to do nothing about the virus. It’s here.’”

FactCheck.org says: White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows actually said, “We are not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas.”

“Kayleigh McEnany presented Lesley Stahl with a blank binder instead of a binder full of Trump's health care plan.”

“Thanks to our relentless efforts, 97% of all current emergency rooms visits are for something other than" the coronavirus.”

FactCheck.org says: Trump could have boasted of similar percentages -- 93% to 96% -- during the worst periods of the pandemic.

“Deb Frecklington sacked 4,400 health workers last time imagine our health response if we hadn't reversed those cuts.”

RMIT ABC Fact Check says: Mr Miles's claim is overstated. While data shows a cut of the magnitude suggested by the Health Minister was made by the LNP, the LNP restored some of that cut itself, with Labor finishing the job when it came to power …

“COVID-19 is a mild disease, masks are useless, and there is a global conspiracy roadmap.”

“But you know what Mitch McConnell said recently about helping the states and cities [during the pandemic]. He said, quote, ‘Let them go bankrupt.’”

FactCheck.org says: McConnell said bankruptcy should be a legal option for states facing money woes unrelated to the coronavirus, such as debt due to pension programs.

“Think of it, as we’re rounding the turn and we are, they go crazy when I say we’re rounding the turn on the pandemic.”

FactCheck.org says: That’s at odds with the available data showing an increase in COVID-19 cases and with expert assessments of the situation.

“The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is “a normal flu virus.”

FactCheck.org says: COVID-19 is deadlier than the seasonal flu, according to the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other experts.

“Under eight years of the previous administration, premiums for Medicare health plans went up. ... Under my administration, we’ve lowered Medicare Advantage premiums by a number nobody even believes — 34% nationwide.”

FactCheck.org says: Most Medicare enrollees don't pay Medicare Advantage premiums, which went up by 46 cents under the Obama administration for the national monthly average. Part B premiums went up under both administrations.

“But just the other day they came out with a statement that 85% of the people that wear masks catch" the coronavirus.”

FactCheck.org says: The CDC released a tweet directly contradicting the president’s claim, saying, “the interpretation that more mask-wearers are getting infected compared to non-mask wearers is incorrect.”

“So in the old days they said, 'Well, if you have [COVID-19], you’re immune for life,' right? Once I got it, they give you four months. ... It’s anybody else but me, you’re immune for life.”

FactCheck.org says: Experts, however, haven’t changed their estimates for immunity duration, which remains unknown -- but unlikely to be lifelong.

“We had set up in our administration a pandemic office within the White House. There were 44 people on the ground [in China]. ... All those 44 people came home, never got replaced.”

FactCheck.org says: Reuters, citing CDC documents, wrote that CDC’s Beijing office “has shrunk to around 14 staffers, down from approximately 47 people since President Donald Trump took office in January 2017.”

“The World Health Organization just admitted that I was right" about lockdowns to control COVID-19.”

FactCheck.org says: The WHO didn't say Trump was right and has not changed its position on lockdowns. The WHO has never recommended lockdowns as the primary strategy to control the virus but recognizes that in some cases they may be needed.

“There’s also the preexisting immunity [to COVID-19] of those who have cross-reactivity, which is about a third of the public in many estimates.”

FactCheck.org says: Studies show that some people have immune cells known as T cells that can recognize SARS-CoV-2. But it’s not known what that means yet -- and there’s no reason to think it would prevent someone from becoming infected.

“A Trump campaign ad that praises the president's handling of the pandemic quotes Dr. Anthony Fauci saying, "I can't imagine that ... anybody could be doing more.”

FactCheck.org says: Fauci was referring to the efforts of federal public health officials, not specifically to Trump. Even though they are members of the Trump administration, that is not the same thing as praising Trump's response.

“Hydroxychloroquine is why Uganda, with a population of 43M, has only 15 COVID-19 deaths.”

FactCheck.org says: Uganda's low COVID-19 numbers have not been due to widespread use of hydroxychloroquine, but through other measures taken by the government, including mandated lockdowns and face masks.

“They asked [President Donald Trump] where he got the COVID, he said, 'I probably got it from Blue Star parents.”

FactCheck.org says: Trump said he assumed he might get COVID-19 because he has to meet with people and cannot always distance himself. He mentioned an event in honor of the families of deceased military veterans as one example.

“I know they call them therapeutic, but to me it wasn’t therapeutic, it just made me better. OK, I call that a cure," referring to an antibody cocktail made by Regeneron to treat COVID-19.”

FactCheck.org says: The products are still in clinical trials and have not been proven to be effective for COVID-19 patients, much less cure the disease.
