Donald Trump, June 16, 2020: "They've come up with the AIDS vaccine."
"They" have not.
There is no AIDS vaccine.
Here's a clip of the video.

Said Trump:
"These are the people, the best, the smartest, the most brilliant anywhere, and they've come up with the AIDS vaccine. They've come up with— or, the AIDS— and, as you know, there's various things and now various companies are involved, but the therapeutic for AIDS."
There is treatment for HIV/AIDS. There is no vaccine. There is no such thing.
Trump later mumbles that the "AIDS vaccine" is a "treatment."
When do we get a neurology assessment of the president's fitness for office? Something is seriously wrong with him.

America is in the throes of an accelerating pandemic that has killed well over a hundred thousand people in this country, and shows no sign of stopping.
No vaccine.
No president.

President Trump once told guests at Mar-a-Lago that he had to "fumigate" his dishes and silverware after dining with his longtime fixer Roy Cohn, who died of AIDS.

Trump says he has great respect for scientists, and "they've come up with the AIDS vaccine…or the AIDS — as you know, there are various things — and now various companies are involved — but the therapeutic for AIDS." (There is no AIDS vaccine, yes good therapeutics.)

The President just said there is an #AIDS vaccine.
There is NOT.
There is #PrEP which is a once-a-day pill to prevent HIV. I don't know if that's what he meant. Also, since we're here, PrEP doesn't prevent other STD's. Okay, have a good, healthy sex life.

Take it from someone with "the AIDS".
There is NO vaccine. HIV is a manageable illness thanks to the science this fucknut doesn't believe in, and the activists this shit stain tear gassed.
So fuck this liar and everything it says. https://t.co/7ZUVrohgSI

In 1996, President Trump crashed the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new nursery school serving children with AIDS, despite never having given a dollar to the charity.
"I mean, what's wrong with you, man?" Abigail Disney, an actual donor, told @Fahrenthold. https://t.co/lo5uDSvbBw
