Republicans have spent the last three months telling us how everything that happened up until now was Joe Biden's fault because he was VP prior to Trump. BLM is Biden's fault, protests are Biden's fault. Crime is Biden's fault. Even the virus is Biden's fault, because he wouldn't let Trump shut down the border!
Today, they're trying to tell us that Biden had nothing to do with the vaccine and that Trump is responsible for the vaccine. Trump has said that his Operation Warp Speed is responsible for Pfizer's work.
Pfizer says no, they've had no part in Operation Warp Speed.

"Biden is now up to 50.8% of the popular vote, topping Reagan’s 50.7% in 1980. This is the highest percentage for a challenger since FDR in 1932"
Biden: 50.8% - 76,343,332
Trump: 47.5% - 71,444,567- and it’s still climbingRamanisky2

Officials: Postal worker recants ballot-tampering claims
A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.
Richard Hopkins's claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud before results are certified, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.
But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service's Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the "whistleblower completely RECANTED."
Hopkins did not respond to messages from The Washington Post seeking comment through his social media accounts, family members and phone messages earlier this week. But in a YouTube video he posted Tuesday night, he denied recanting. "I'm here to say I did not recant my statements. That did not happen," he said.
