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.”

Then go live off the grid and away from modern humanity with your anti-vaxx pals.

That was easy.

Ska-rew “the vaccine”.

I would like to lay in a supply of Hydroxychloroquine and zinc. I have a hunch it kicks @$$ on other viral diseases, maybe even some cancers.

That could be why the Medical Deep State is crapping all over it.

So retire to the Alabama woods? If your employer required a vaccination on file, what are you going to do about it? Open your own business?

I'm not sure how you're an electrical engineer and so anti-science but EEs like to think they know everything in my experience.

I want an antibody test to see if I already had it as an essential worker. I haven't stopped working and potentially exposed to covid-19. This is the first week in months I've been able to take two days off. I almost don't know what to do with myself.

What’s wrong with “Director of Vaccines”?

The question is, which one of you in the audience, will be the guinea pig to get the shot? I for one have never received a flu shot and I have no plans to receive one in the future.

Way too much of his base is against a COVID 19 vax being mandatory...he’s not going to risk that.

Trump is for a COVID-19 vaccine which is not mandatory. Works for me.

“ great, a freeper who is willing to take. it.

let us know how it goes.

thanks in advance.”

Not a anti vaxer. Vaccines are basic science. I would take it if the virus is still a threat and I feel the vaccine is safe.
Should it’s use be mandated? Oh heck no. Only if people choose to take it

No government mandated poison for me, thanks.

Why would any thinking person take the poison?

How do you know what’s in the vaccine?

I’m not an “Anti-Vaxxer”. The vaccines for Polio, smallpox and other diseases were lifesavers.

It is you who needs to smarten up. You need to research Bill Gates and his views on overpopulation.

In Kenya, his vaccines caused infertility and miscarriages in many women.

Even if Gates isn’t involved in the CCP Chest Cold vaccine, it is still untrustworthy. Vaccines are supposed to take years, or even decades to develop. A rushed vaccine spells trouble.

Getting back to the Gates’ family, they don’t vaccinate their children. That speaks volumes.

Do you not ever wonder why autism has exploded in the US in the last few years? I’ve heard several nightmare stories about parents taking normal kids to be vaccinated then, after the vaccination,they turned into different children.

My main point is why should there be a vaccine for the CCP chest cold. It’s not a serious disease, except for the usual vulnerable people: The elderly and the immunosuppressed people. These same people are vulnerable to the seasonal flu and other regular illnesses. So why is the Chinese cold so different?

I think it’s overkill to develop a vaccine for the Chinese Chest Cold because this particular cold has a 99.5% survival rate.

It would be stupid to get the vaccine, except if one was one of the vulnerable people.

Smarten Up.

I guess we are going to have to disagree as it is important there is a vaccine found for this disease.

Everyone has a choice whether to take the vaccine.

Personal choice.

For this particular case, I completely agree with you. So I guess we do agree on something. 🙂
