This is good. Trump continues to demonstrate that he is a catalyst for solutions.
Lot of caveats though.
- No guarantee whatsoever that a vaccine can EVER be found for this. Our track record on developing them for coronaviruses in general is not good. Yet guys like Fauci remain cock-sure of producing them on shorter and shorter timeframes.
- When such a vaccine is developed under the enormous social and political pressures that this one is facing a replay of the government’s 1975 swine flu debacle seems quite high.
From Trump’s perspective this may be a public confidence move though. Give the virus time to fade out on its own while reassuring the public that a vaccine Manhattan Project is underway. The media has managed to scare the crap out of so many that he probably needs to do this.
Plus if he allows Dr. Tony to cash-in on a big vaccine scam perhaps he’ll start spending his time on eTrade and stay the hell away from microphones.
