U.S. equity markets tumbled Thursday after Dr. Anthony Fauci dashed hopes that a COVID-19 vaccine was coming soon, contradicting documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Fauci told CNN a vaccine was unlikely to be ready by the end of October. In a separate interview with NBC News' "Today," Fauci said a vaccine was likely by the end of the year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 700 points, or 2.6%, with Microsoft leading the decline.

While everyone is flipping out over what Fauci says, I am just in awe that the USA under Trump’s leadership will have a vaccine ready to go by at least the end of the year. Remarkable.
> Stop talking Tony, just stop <
Yep. His job is to advise the president, period. But instead Fauci sees himself as a famous celebrity. He gives all sorts of contradictory interviews. He throws out pitches at baseball games. Etc.
I wonder when Fauci is going to appear on ‘America’s Got Talent’. Maybe he could do some sort of magic trick.
I think the Dow went down because it was going up relentlessly for a month. People with a shorter term view could hardly resist the temptation to cash in. Imagine what big shareholders in Apple and Tesla would have been thinking.
Wrong take, it is the tech companies sliding today. Some peoples must know sumthin’ we don’t.
This.
MSM will crash the market for the election.
No brainer.
Maybe so, but are you prepared to be experimented on?
I am well aware how proper vaccine clinical trials are done for safety and efficacy. This is what is occurring here. It’s unfortunate there are so many on FR that don’t seem to appreciate vaccines or how research is conducted to get a safe vaccine for public use. Clearly, public health has done itself a disservice by not addressing the anti vaccine crowd on social media.
Daily moves in the stock market are due to computer trading.
Somebody needs to ask the computers what they are doing and why!
;-)
The public health professionals are busy lecturing us—there is no “conversation”.....
Over 800 now.
This is a much needed correction.
The markets have been on a totally insane run. Talk about “irrational exuberance”!
This is a sign that there’s still some sanity out there.
He's addicted to media attention.
I swear of Trump does not fire this guy he’s going to be the source of the October Surprise.
I bet Xi is smiling and that Fauci just earned another deposit to his Grand Caymans account...
I’m guessing they could come up with a COVID vaccine by the end of the year. Unfortunately, with 11 sub-strains of the Frankenvirus running around so far, it will probably have to be like the flu vaccines, with a different mix created each year.
Open up now! People need more alternatives to going into the riot-torn cities!
those that know dont say, those that say dont know
Just because “the plan” includes him on the staff, it doesn’t mean he gets to sit at the table.
I doubt it was Fauci alone since almost nobody expects a vaccine before next year. Probably a fair amount of profit-taking involved.
Look to see if Soros shorted the market before the comments. If he did, he and Fauci are in cahoots. Time to break the MSM’s banjo strings.
