Trump Gives Blank Check For Vaccine Development; What Is Operation Warp Speed?
International Business Times ^ | 05/01/20 | Rachel Cruise

A team of scientists, government officials, military agencies, and private companies were reportedly given a blank check by President Donald Trump for coronavirus vaccine development under the "Operation Warp Speed" program...

The goal of Operation Warp Speed is to deliver 300 million doses of coronavirus vaccine from November to December 2020 and another 300 million by January 2021. There has never been a precedent for developing a vaccine at such a rapid pace...

It comes as Trump's medical advisers, including infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, said that a coronavirus vaccine would not be viable in at least 12 to 18 months because these have to be tested and retested for effects and safety. Thus, measures like social distancing, quarantines, and lockdowns are the next best solutions to manage this public health crisis.

Such measures, however, have affected the normal way of life and the economies of the world. Caputo also said that the president "refused to accept" the standard timeline for vaccine development; thus, he is asking to speed up the process.

Apart from the vaccine development, Operation Warp Speed will also come up with the production and distribution process, as well as who will receive the first doses.

Fauci! Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

100 or 200 million doses in November should do the trick.

I was waiting for you to post. I guess they can save a few on the production line seeing folks like will not take the vaccine.

I think this is great news as this economy needs to come back to life.

I think the Trump administration has fast tracked studies on therapies and also invested in large amounts of testing.

He should be indicted for Crimes Against Humanity.

I was thinking more along the lines of selling him to Keebler as a new elf, or a traveling Circus?

I don’t see it as bad unless they force people to take it.

No thank you! I don’t trust any of these vaccines. NADA, none, absolutely none. You can all have mine.

That’s the only thing that will keep a large portion of the population from using the CCP virus as an excuse to continue lockdowns. Restaurants and such need to be able to work to capacity.
