Shortly after Pfizer made the stunning announcement that its vaccine had proved 90 percent effective in a study of thousands of people, Vice President Mike Pence and Trump ally Nicki Haley rushed to give credit to Donald Trump.

HUGE NEWS: Thanks to the public-private partnership forged by President @realDonaldTrump, @pfizer announced its Coronavirus Vaccine trial is EFFECTIVE, preventing infection in 90% of its volunteers.

The news about the @pfizer vaccine being 90% effective is great news for the American people! Many thanks to @realDonaldTrump and Operation Warp Speed. This will be one of the most important action items done by the administration in response to this pandemic. #USStrong

But thats yet another lie from the departing administration.

As Raw Story notes, Pfizers CEO Albert Bourla disavowed government partnership and funding months ago.

Bourla told Face the Nation: We are investing one billion and a half at least in COVID. I wanted to liberate our scientists from any bureaucracy. When you get money from someonethat always comes with strings. I didnt want any of that. I wanted to keep Pfizer out of politics

Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. suggested the timing of Pfizers announcement was meant to hurt his father.
