Good news is yesterday he stated if he believes a vaccine is being released that not up to snuff, he'll be vocal about.Trump may even pressure the FDA to speedup human clinical trails and cut safety corners.
Dr. Fauci also said a viable vaccine by November is pie in the sky wishful thinking.
i tend to doubt that AstraZeneca is going to allow itself to be forced to market before it knows that the vaccine is safe. if there are bad side effects, that will affect its entire catalog of pharmaceuticals; perhaps fatally. in that case, Tweety will be able to do absolutely nothing to help them. as it stands, i trust their judgement far more than i trust the most disgraceful liar to ever soil the WH.
Trump will indemnify the manufacturer from prosecution, citing the urgent need to restart the economy..
Anyone following vaccine development in general shouldn't be surprised that top scientists and epidemiologists are saying they find it extremely unlikely if not impossible that a viable Coronavirus vaccine will or could possibly be ready by the election as Trump has been predicting. Practically speaking, it usually takes years to develop an effective vaccine that's safe. If an effective vaccine were developed by Nov. 1 or even by the end of this year it would be a miracle of modern vaccine engineering, which is why Americans shouldn't get too hopeful a vaccine treatment for this horrible disease is in the offing this year, certainly not in time to prop up Trump's sagging poll numbers. The FDA might grant an Emergency Use Authorization in light of the high number of daily infections.

What a coincidence that the projected date for availability was election time.
One must remember this is the same guy who said we had this virus under control back in March. Then the miracle cure was hydroxychloroquine.
As we approach Nov he will then start saying that the vaccine will be available at the end of the November. Just trust him.
That settles it then. A person "in authority" has said such and such. Like Senator Hirono said "We must believe those in authority." or was it women? I forget.
The fastest a vaccine has ever been brought to "market" before was TWELVE years. What are the chances of that work being achieved in 12 months? (actually less!)

Trump is pushing it. He is the optimist. Goebbelsian news only spreads hate and fear.

Reality bites your Goebbels, and spits it out in distaste!

Sceptics would never have thought the world was round, that man could walk on the moon or that Trump would get elected President.
I am not saying a vaccine will be ready on Nov 1st. That is obviously a stretch goal. What I will say is that this government and the scientific community are running projects in a completely new fashion for a solution to this problem.
The full weight and backing of the US government is behind the drug industry so they can all approach the problem from every imaginable way and they are all being tested in parallel.
Personally, I would not be surprised if more than one vaccine is released and the decision on which to take will be made thru effectiveness and side effects.

Vote for whoever you want, but accept the fact that this administration is driving an amazing program completely independent of the politics.
If we can set aside Trump's possible self-serving motives for trying to get a vaccine to market as quickly as possible then we can acknowledge what the pharmaceutical industries are doing is an amazing thing. For the sake of debate let's assume Moderna develops a vaccine and takes it to Trump/CDC. They say, "Mr. President, we think we've developed a vaccine but we don't know if its safe." Trump would have a few options: 1. "Market it. Get it out there, safety be damned. I need a vaccine distributed by Nov. 1 to win the election." 2. "I understand. Don't distribute it. Just make the announcement by Nov. 1 with the caveat that distribution will come by the beginning of next year when you've had a chance to complete Phase 3 trials." 3. "Don't announce it. If it's not safe to distribute then I don't want it announced until it is."
Which of these three do you think Trump would choose, knowing his character?
That settles it then. A person "in authority" has said such and such. Like Senator Hirono said "We must believe those in authority." or was it women? I forget.
Yes, medical professionals do tend to speak from positions of authority. Do you go to your plumber for medical advice? By the same token I ignore what Trump says and listen to those he prefers to ignore; career medial professionals, not career reality show hosts.
Trump may even pressure the FDA to speed up human clinical trails and cut safety corners.
