100%, every time Trump has talked about therapeutics it has been mutually exclusive with vaccine.

This makes me happy in thinking he got the message about us not taking a vaccine ever. Therapeutics are the answer.

he has said multiple times when referring to therapeutics:

"whether it's a transfusion, or a shot..."

no thanks

Medications are commonly delivered through injection in a clinical setting, so "shot" doesn't necessarily imply vaccination.

Thanks. Just sharing what I have observed because I was hoping therapeutics meant HCQ. Personally I won't be injecting anything on the premise of kung flu

He's never said therapeutics are exclusively shots or transfusions. He uses the term more generally, referring to all treatments/therapies that are not a vaccine.

He's also said the following:.

Well, certainly, we do. And we have to get therapeutics. I'd rather have right now therapeutics that make people better. That's where remdesivir is really good.

AND

I would rather have, frankly, therapeutic, meaning something to make people better, if not a cure, at least a therapeutic...And it could be that hydroxychloroquine is going to be -- we don't lose anything with hydroxychloroquine.

Gotcha, I was just surprised the first time I heard him follow up "therapeutic" with "injection" and it's been more than once. Hoping for the best!
