Trump's New Vaccine Czar Confident in Delivering Hundreds of Millions of Doses by End of Year for Covid-19
Epoch Times ^ | 05/15/2020 | Zachary Steiber

The newly installed Trump administration vaccine czar said early clinical data gives him confidence there will be 200 to 300 million doses by the end of the year.

“I have very recently seen early data from a clinical trial with a coronavirus vaccine and these data made me feel even more confident that we will be able to deliver a few hundred million doses of vaccine by the end of 2020,” Dr. Moncef Slaoui said during an event announcing his post at the White House’s Rose Garden on Friday.

Slaoui sits on the board of Moderna, a U.S. company that’s testing a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine candidate it developed. The virus causes COVID-19, a potentially deadly disease.

The doctor is leading Operation Warp Speed, a joint agency effort to quicken the development of vaccines to have at least one ready by January 2021.

The Department of Health and Human Services is teaming with the Pentagon to manufacture and distribute vaccines as fast as possible. Other health agencies like the National Institutes of Health are involved.

Government experts evaluated some 100 vaccine candidates and identified 14 they believe have the best chance of succeeding. Teams working on those candidates will receive funding and other support.

Even as clinical trials continue, manufacturing will start.

“It’s risky, it’s expensive, but we will be saving massive amounts of time,” President Donald Trump said at the event. “We will be saving years if we do this properly.”

Slaoui, formerly the chairman of vaccines at GlaxoSmithKline, was described by Health Secretary Alex Azar as “arguably the world’s most experienced and successful vaccine developer.”

Will. Not. Comply. If they attempt to force this on the American people, the result will be civil war. We won’t accept their 666-grade vaccine as a precondition to being able to go to work.

By end of year everyone who is going to die, will have.

Any vaccine that can be rushed into existence this quickly is either going to be a placebo or a disaster.

Require every doctor who is working on the vaccine, every investor, along with members of their families to be the first recipients.

The makers of vaccines have long since had no liability if bad things happen to people.

“ Any vaccine that can be rushed into existence this quickly is either going to be a placebo or a disaster.”

That’s the logic the FDA uses to take 10 years to approve a new drug.
This is the USA.
We do science and innovation better than anyone and can do this.
We aren’t a third world nation.

Trump is a man of action. To the extent he helps facilitate a vaccine or even prods others to get it done it represents good news for his reelection. The sooner the better.

Give it up with the fear mongering. There will not be a civil war. Most folks will take it and most parents will get their kids vaccinated. If you don’t want it, I suspect you won’t have to take it.

RE: What did it say?

That it makes him feel confident. That’s supposed to mean we can trust him because of his expertise and experience developing vaccines.

In the past, Slaoui oversaw the development of numerous vaccines, including Cervarix to prevent cervical cancer, Rotarix to prevent gastroenteritis in children, and an Ebola vaccine.

I am guessing that he is referring to the development of the vaccine by the company, Moderna.

How would you be confident they would receive the same shot as the rest of us? I do not trust them.

“If you don’t want it, I suspect you won’t have to take it.”

As for myself, that’s all I would ask. If it WERE forced on the AMerican people, then I think all bets would be off.
