Biden preparing for 'multiple scenarios' on COVID-19 vaccine: Official (why isn't Biden himself talking?)
ABC News ^ | July 7, 2020 | Molly Nagle and John Verhovek

Posted on 07/07/2020 7:55:10 PM PDT by DoodleBob

With the November election fewer than four months away and the number of coronavirus cases again surging in the United States, former vice president Joe Biden is preparing for a range of realities when it comes to dealing with the virus if he is elected president, according to an official.

"I would say the vice president and the team are working through multiple scenarios. One of those scenarios would involve the existence of a vaccine, in which case, one of the biggest tasks would be the broad-based manufacture and equitable distribution of that vaccine which is an enormous logistical challenge," the official said on a call Tuesday morning.

When asked if Biden’s Public Health advisery Board had advised the former vice president on the likelihood of a vaccine being widely available for distribution by the time he would potentially take office, the official cautioned there is no guarantee that will be the case.

"They've advised the vice president that you know there have been encouraging signs around some of the candidate vaccines but that nothing is a sure thing and that we can't count on that," the official said.

"So we have to make provision for there being a vaccine and do the heavy lifting of what it's going to take once it's identified to get it to everyone, and we also have to make provision for there not being a vaccine and to have to live in a world where we're still trying to get the pandemic under control," the official added.

The "official" is quoted widely....who is this "official" and what was Biden doing that was so important that he couldn't talk to the press?

It’s a coronavirus. There will be no vaccine.

Biden doesn’t know what’s going on.

Of course not. The whole "waiting for a vaccine" business was just another stalling tactic to make the "crisis" last until at least November.

Anyone who doesn't understand by now that the liberal / communist front and the media has been jacking America around need only look at their complete approval of mass protests and riots and then -- when the protests and riots began to wane -- returning to the scare stories of March and demanding that EVERYONE suddenly must wear a mask EVERYWHERE (the world looks so much more scary when everywhere you turn you see a hospital ward).

“It’s a coronavirus. There will be no vaccine”.

Correct. This is Covid-19. Is there a vaccine for Covid-1 thru -18? No. There isn’t. Protecting the vulnerable and allowing herd immunity for the rest will stop this version as well. Followed by, the inevitable weakening of the strain over time. As with the previous 18 versions.

Maybe he was letting out gas, although this time decided not to do it on live TV.

Maybe no vaccine will be needed:

Second wave? Not even close.

It’s a good news article, long, but with many corroborating facts and charts.

Unfortunate rise in crime hurts him . I say it in as all sadness.

While I get disgusted when radical libs hinting at a twisted hidden joy in rise in covid to hit at Trump.

If the recent spike in positive cases does not turn that graph around in a week or so, this nightmare is over.

‘’Biden doesn't know what's going on’’. No. He doesn't, that's very true. I lost my mother to Alzheimer's fourteen years ago and I've worked in three nursing homes and have seen countless patients just like Joe and worse. Joe is clearly and unequivocally suffering from dementia.

And in the coming months it's only going to get worse. The brain damage and cognitive damage caused by dementia is irreversible.

Both of my grandparents on my dad’s side got dementia. I didn’t go see my grandmother because I knew I couldn’t handle “who are you?”

I went to see my grandfather on Thanksgiving, but he didn’t know who I was. After I walked out of the cafeteria I started crying.

****************************************************
FYI- The ‘19’ in COVID-19 refers to the year 2019, the year in which it first was detected, and not to the 19th. There weren’t 18 prior versions. This virus is the 2nd SARS variant.

My mothers older sister and her older brother went first. Their decline was pretty rapid. My mother's was about six years from the time she retired from nursing and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.. She was an OR nurse and an Operating Room Nursing Director. She had seven of us kids, five boys, two girls. I was number three in the line up.

The day the woman who gave you life, bought you into the world and raised you looks into your eyes and has absolutely NO idea who you are is the most heart breaking thing anyone can go through. My sympathies to you. I miss my mother every day. My father died two years ago this month. I know we'll all meet again some time. In Heaven.
