At that point it has been approved by appropriate government agencies, yet, at that point in time, there has been no independent studies or vetting of the approval process.
Do you go out and take that vaccine?
I say this as someone who has been bullish on the idea that everyone should get the vaccine as soon as it's available. However, this is government influence over science, from someone who is as anti-science as you can possibly get, so he doesn't believe in the process and he only uses it as a tool to aid his bid for re-election.
Under any other circumstance, I'd agree with you. Under this president? No chance in hell do I trust his word on this.

It also doesn't matter what Trump says on or before November 3. The actual general public won't be able to make the decision for themselves to take the vaccine until April either way.
