“@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 rated this: No Evidence

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.

“We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact,..... .....there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported!”

Washington Post rated this: Four Pinocchios

Washington Post says: Trump obviously cannot claim victory. Election officials in each state certify the winner of the presidential race.

“Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Variations in who led the race stems from the normal tabulation processes playing out. And the allegation of “surprise ballot dumps” is flat wrong. Officials had been warning about delays in counting for months.
