Donald Trump’s vaccine executive order baffled everyone and his own adviser surely put it best
Donald Trump likes signing executive orders almost as much as he likes going on Twitter.
And his latest, apparently, seeks to prioritise Americans for the Covid-19 vaccine over people from other countries. America First, and all that.
Except people are a bit (totally) confused what this latest executive order actually does (it doesn’t, for instance, directly increase vaccine production or order additional doses).
And Dr. Moncef Slaoui, Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” chief science advisor, surely put it best, perfectly put together by MSNBC.

Boom.
I asked Operation Warp Speed's chief scientific adviser, Moncef Slaoui, to explain Trump's vaccine executive order.
